Dr. Hochkeppel is one of the best pain management specialists I’ve had the pleasure of attending over the last 4-5 years. I wish I could continue with him but have moved too far away. I wholeheartedly recommend him. He knows his stuff. He listens well and as a bonus is a very nice person.
Dr. Hochkeppel was very nice and explained everything so thoroughly. He has a calming personality and I felt much better after my first visit. I had a Cervical Epidural Injection with Dr. Hochkeppel and I was very anxious. He made sure I was sedated properly, and the procedure went much better than I could imagine and I would return for another if necessary without fear. The office is beautiful and run very well.
