Neal Hochwald's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Hochwald is not only a magnificently gifted surgeon, he is also a compassionate, caring individual who helped encourage me through my healing process & continued recovery months after my surgery. I am practically ‘back to normal’ as I had fractured & shattered my arm (distal radius & ulna) requiring pins and a plate. Everyone in the office reflects the energy, enthusiasm & compassion of Dr. Hochwald which was so important to me in my healing process. They do what they do because they care. I’m so grateful to everyone there, especially Dr. Hochwald. Mary Ann Rosman

2 surgeries and I’m back in the game! Always has time for me!

Couldn't figure out the problem with my wrist so he just sent me to Physical Therapy for a long time. I was misdiagnosed and he didn't treat me with the most care. I will only give him two stars though instead of one because his skills as a surgeon are impressive. I recommend him if you are an important person in society or you have a lot of money because he is a good surgeon and will treat you well depending on your status in society. 2 / 5 stars

I want to rate no stars but there was no option. This so called doctor is horrible. He is rude, obnoxious, dismissive, a disgusting person. He needs to return to medical school. His diagnosis was way wrong and his treatment was to put a glove on it. His PA sucked too. Hit the books “doctor.” I don’t recommend him to anyone. Don’t waste your time. Go to a real doctor.

Deceptive insurance practices. I called to make an appt. to see the doctor. I needed hand surgery. I told Kelly what health insurance coverage I a had. They made an appt. for me. Then it was time to schedule the surgery. The office knew what insurance I had (Atena). After the surgery, I find out that Dr. Hochwald did not accept my health insurance. He was out of network. It is the OFFICE responsibility to inform a patient when he calls to make an appt., to inform the patient that the doctor DOES or DOESN'T accept the patient's health insurance. I went back and forth over a bill with this woman in the office that spun me into the ground. She acted like I was the first patient to bring this HUGE issue up !!! SHAME ON YOU DOCTOR !!!

Great experience. Dr. Hochwald is a very knowledgeable surgeon, extremely professional and empathetic. I had two fractures in my wrist and my thumb and he completed surgery within 24 hours of my accident and was very successful. His staff is super friendly and nice. Overall experience here was great. I never had to wait more than 5 minutes past my appointment time to be seen. Definitely recommend him and his staff.

Dr. Hockwald is amazing. He performed surgery on my hand and it was better instantly. I was in so much pain, he took me right away and all testing and surgery was done within a week’s time. I can’t believe people would give a negative review because of waiting 40 minutes without knowing the circumstances. I’m sure he wasn’t sitting in the office doing nothing cuz he felt like making you wait. However, I bet they waited to be seated at a restaurant and said how great it was, either that or they feel entitled. Good things come to those who wait, better things come to those who are patient.

Called his office for an appointment and they told me he could see me right away. Was seen within minutes of arrival, diagnosed my condition through x-ray as well as set up the procedure for 2 days later all within an hour of just calling to see if he had availability for me to be seen. Most pleasant experience I’ve had at any doctors office never mind an orthopedic surgeon. Did not waste any time getting right to the source of my problem. Clearly a very professional and experienced surgeon, would recommend him to everyone.

Dr Hockwald is an excellent surgeon. He saved my hand after a fall on glass and severed an artery and tendons. Larry in PT helped me gain feeling and strength back. All of the office staff were very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Dr Hockwald and his team.

Dr Hockwald is an excellent surgeon. He saved my hand after a fall on glass which severed an artery and tendons. Larry in PT in the office was also very good and helped me gain back movement in my hand. The office staff was always very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Hockwald.
