Galen Y K Chock, MD

I’ve been with Dr Chock since my first was born 4 years ago. Our next will also be seeing him. I personally had a wonderful experience with him. My son never really got sick aside from a few running noses and a cough/​congestion here and there but when I did have conerns he always returned my call. My last call with him regarding my son adjusting to preschool last 45 minutes. My cell battery actually died. My husband can be kinda high maintenance with jumping to conclusion with every running nose or fever but they always fit us in that day or the next at the latest.

Dr. Chock was my pediatrician and he is the doctor for my 3 children. He is great so are his staff!

Been with Dr Chock for a long time with my child (since birth). Generally a good pediatrician but all business and not much tolerance for parents with ideas of their own. Had some problems with child having attacks of not being able to breathe too well, heart racing, and mucous in his throat. After 2 or 3 of these episodes, I documented what he ate, what he did, when the attacks happened, etc. for a few weeks. When we visited Dr Chock, I explained my child’s symptoms and told him that I had a journal and wanted to point out a few things that might indicate acid reflux or GERD. He kind of blew me off and said that it can’t be acid reflux/​GERD and said that my child had Precordial Catch Syndrome. When I got home, I looked PCS up and knew right away that this is not what my child had. Got a 2^nd opinion (pediatrician actually took the time to read the journal), got referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist who confirmed that my child had acid reflux/​GERD. Dr Chock might be too busy to entertain the idea of listening to parents that are halfway intelligent and who want some say in their child’s health care.
