When my GP recommended that I see an infectious disease specialist a friend of mine recommended that I see Dr. Bock, I still don't understand how that friend thought she was a good idea but I thought I would give it a try. I was a little nervous after entering her office and feeling like it was a throw back to the 80's but who was I to judge a book by its cover, boy was I wrong, I should have listened to my gut and walked back out the door. The front desk lady was very welcoming and friendly, however I found it odd the secretary also takes your blood pressure and temperature as if she is a nurse, but maybe they are just efficient. When I finally met with Dr. Bock ( literally 40 min after my scheduled appointment) I soon could tell this was going to be a waste of my time and money. Her inability to connect and listen to a patient is shocking. She is what I would call "socially awkward", which is not very reassuring for a patient. All she does is review your paperwork you fill out and make condescending remarks that make you feel belittled. Needless to say I walked out of her office feeling worse than before and stuck with a $300 bill. Luckily I was able to find another specialist who was able to treat me like a patient and I am almost 100% better. Don't waste your time or money here. I still can't believe Hoag would affiliate themselves with a practice like this.
