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.

Excellent!!
I was a patient with foot pain. Dr. Hancock diagnosed me with a broken bone and a neuroma. Through nerve-deadening shots, the pain was significantly minimized; I also wear good shoes with a shoe insert for support. Dr. H explained the issue well as well as the pros and cons of other treatments. Highly recommend!!

I talked with Dr. Hancock about a pain in the arch of my right foot. He told me I have a bone spur and that is why I feel like I am walking on a rock all the time. He gave me 3 options of which he first recommends trying the orthotic in my shoe first as he knows I take care of my husband and would not be able to stay completely off my feet for the allotted amount of time to heal. He always takes his time to explain things and never talks down to us. He also has outstanding bedside manners

What a great experience! From the waiting room and the receptionist to the assistant and certainly Dr. Hancock. He didn't talk down to anyone. He involved me in my care. Very personable and kind. Would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a great doctor and welcoming office staff.

Dr. Hancock was originally a second opinion after a surgery of mine had an unfortunate result with another doctor, "Dr. M." Dr. Hancock's bedside manner literally made me cry after my experience with Dr. M., he was so understanding and kind to little sensitive 21 year old me. I followed him after he changed groups and I needed to have another surgery to finally fix the previous surgery by Dr. M. after 5 years. I was seen as soon as my schedule allowed and everything went perfectly.
