Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Saved my life- thanks Doc
I ignored my conditions for several months. I finally saw Doc and he had me immediately into a heart cath. Which showed a 99% blockage, Open Heart the next day, back to full strength in 4 weeks. I’m grateful and I was blessed with an amazing group of Doctors, Surgeons, and Nurses. Dr Parsons is an outstanding surgeon and partner with Doc Dockery.Thank you and thank your teams

I WILL NEVER recommend Dr. Dockery to anyone! My husband was sent to Dr. Dockery because he was having all the symptoms of having heart problems. Dr. Dockery DID NOT LISTEN TO MY HUSBAND! My husband ended up having 5 stents put in & is going back into the hospital for more stents. One artery was 100% blocked &another one was 99% blocked. My husband is a type 2 diabetic which greatly increases his risk factors. & His family's history has heart disease from his mom & dad! This info was ignored!

I would love to leave a good review of Dr. Dockery, BUT HE ALMOST KILLED ME! I was sent to him from my primary care doctor. He ordered a treadmill test. It was negative. EKG negative. No lab work was done & he didn't listen to me about my family's history or the symptoms I was actively having. I had 5, yes 5 stents put in & have to go back on the 25th to fix the rest of my heart. 1 was 100% blocked & another 99%. The longest Stent measures 38 mm! I put my trust in you as a doctor. You failed.
