It is amazing what this site has to offer if you take advantage of it. Dr. Hocking is in this site's database. Go to the top of any page and click on "find a doc" and then click on #2 browse the list. If you click on your state,FL, you will get a listing of surgeons in that state. Dr. Hocking is listed. Click on "view comments" next to his name. First you will see a listing of insurance companies that have paid for surgery with him. If you click on these, you will be linked to that members profile. (BTW, there is a listing for BCBS Health Options that had approval, however it doesn't say if it is an HMO). Scroll further down and you will come to a list of members' comments about this surgeon. Included with each comment is the member's name(with links to their profiles) and e-mail address. Maybe you could e-mail them your specific questions? Hope this helps. Shelley
