Dr Hancock is a highly skilled surgeon who provided me with the best care an athlete could ask for. His Assistant Kayla was always extremely helpful in coordinating appointments as I traveled an hour and half for appointments.

Dr Hancock went above & beyond his professional duty to thoroughly explain my shoulder problem and referred me to a more specialized surgeon whom he felt would give me the best medical outcome. His concern & compassion made me feel more confident that I would get the best medical care available!!! Our world is better because of Doctor's like Dr Robert Hancock!

Dr Hancock assured me he would do everything he could to talk with Dr Prada re my condition and do his best to schedule the necessary scans, etc Dr Prada might need to keep me from having to travel frequently to Augusta. This was a tremendous relief for me and extremely thoughtful of Dr Hancock!!
