Testimonials from patients of Dr. Hochwalt
Dr. Hochwalt has been my Dr. for about 30 years. I can’t say enough about the excellent care he has provided to me. He is not only a wonderful Dr. but a wonderful human being. He actually cares about his patients and shows it. I pray that he continues to do so for a very long time. Thank you so very much, Dr. Hochwalt.
Dr. Hochwalt has been my physician for over 20 years. When he joined MDVIP, I came with him to the program. I did that because he has a high "EQ" and really understands that sometimes, I need confirmation that nothing is wrong. I really appreciate that about him - and in one big instance, it made a big difference in a diagnosis for me. Now, I live overseas but I continue my… See more
Dr. James Hochwalt has been my Primary Care Physician for many years, even before he was with MDVIP. He has walked with me through many of experiences that one has on life's journey. He cared for my late husband as well as being a support for me at this difficult time. He made the transition to MDVIP and I decided to follow him in his transition. My new life has had many challenges… See more
Whenever something odd happens, like a sudden fall while dog walking last December, Dr. Hochwalt is there for me through a simple phone call. The fall happened while his office was particularly overwhelmed and he still offered straightforward advice, found a medical facility and orthopedic doctor close to where I'm now living (which is an area that isn't familiar to him).

I have been a patient of Dr. Hochwalt for 30 years. He has taken great care of me through some difficult medical problems.
As part of my annual physical in 2017 Dr. Hochwalt thoroughly felt around my neck to determine if there was anything suspicious. In fact he discovered a lump too deep for me to ever notice. It was ultimately determined to be cancerous and five weeks later I had… See more

I am grateful for his knowledge, patient listening, understanding and finding appropriate paths forward, all while radiating calm and support. I value his focus on good life habits, proactivity and a very comprehensive annual physical. I feel fortunate to have such an amazing… See more
Hey , Jim, I've always appreciated you availability and the careful, unhurried time you give me. You're the best.
Since 1991 I have been a patient of Dr. Hochwalt which, I am fairly confident, makes me one of his oldest patients. Throughout the years I have had numerous maladies which the good Doctor Hochwalt cured with ease; however, there have been a couple of issues, which are not necessary to describe in detail, except to say that without him I would not be here to say, "Thank you."
Jim and I go back to the mid 90’s. The comfort of knowing he’s “taking care” of me ( and my wife) goes beyond our medical needs. His forward look into our health In the future - creates a trusted relationship that is rare. Like a friend who’s always looking out for you! Thanks.
