I was introduced to Dr. Cockcroft when my husband with taken to Hershey Medical while working out of town and staying in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania. While at the hospital, he was diagnosed with a coloid cyst that had lodged between his brain lobes and was blocked brain fluid from moving freely in the brain pushing it toward his brain stem. My husband needed emergency brain surgery and Dr. Cockcroft was the surgeon. Never have I ever met anyone that can put you at ease during a most difficult time. I had such faith and confidence in him and his skill and knowledge that I just knew my husband would be alright. My husband had two more surgeries
over the next 6 months to repair the skull area with prosthetic placement. He continued to see Dr. Cockcroft for a total of five years for follow up appointments even though we live at the Jersey shore, 3 hours away! I can never thank him enough for everything he did for my husband and our family. He is one of a kind, with such compassion and caring! I would highly recommend him for anyone needing a neurosurgeon.

Through all of our experiance he is very gracious and kind. He can understand and is very much at attention in every detail. Follow up is very exciting as Dr. Cockroft is always interested in how much our son as grown and devoloped. My wife and I feel very blessed to have such a skilled surgeon for our son close by.

Dr. Cockroft is a wonderful doctor and human being. My daughter was diagnosed with a rare brain disease that required two surgeries. Dr. Cockroft treated her with such compassion and respect. He asked her if she had any concerns that she would like to share with him, and being a teenage girl, she replied "I don't want to lose all of my hair." He honored her request and you would have never known she had two brain surgeries. Most doctors would have thought this was a frivolous request, but he realized it was important emotional issue for her and he took this into consideration. He takes the time to answer all of your questions, and understands your fears and concerns. He is an exceptionally skilled surgeon and I would highly recommend him to anyone. We had some insurance issues and he and his staff diligently worked on getting the required approval. I could never thank him enough for all that he did for my daughter and our family.

Dr Cockroft is the BEST. He save my life operating on 2 brain aneurysms. He is like a friend who talks to you and your family. You are important to him not a number like most doctors. If I could rate him higher I would, but 5 is all you allow. He is number one in my book. And my family also agrees.

Dr.Cockroft is a wonderful doctor. He explains everything and encourages his staff to be helpful and enthusiastic. If Dr. Cockroft does run behind it is because he takes the time to answer your questions and has a genuine interest in you as a human being. I would highly recommend him. He is particularly great with us anxious parents.

I've seen several Drs at Mass. General Hosp. in Boston and Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, and Dr Cockroft was the only Dr that sat down and spoke to me like a human being. He explained what was going on up in my brain and that is why I choose him to do all three brain surgries and I would do it again.
