About

Philosophy of Care

My philosophy to patient care is predicated on developing a strong patient-provider relationship. I believe in taking a patient-centered approach to practicing medicine, where my patients share in decision making based on their preferences, values, and beliefs. My treatment goals focus on viewing each individual as a unit of mind, body, and spirit, and as such, working with each person to uniquely optimize their health and quality of life is my priority and what I strive to accomplish.

10/19/2023

He’s so good about promptly communicating with me through MyChart

09/30/2023

Was very good and very good listener

09/25/2023

It’s not the provider so much having problems with its amount of time that you can spend with your provider I think when you call in to make an appointment or you have to schedule an appointment after seeing the doctor I feel if you feel you need more time to go over things with your doctor. You should be able to get that time and not feel like you’re being rushed when you get rushed then you get sidetracked and things do not get Scott discussed or gone over especially when you have a lot of medical needs, I don’t think they take that into consideration when they are making appointments with people who have a lot of needs we are paying for the service we should get the proper service we feel we need

09/23/2023

It was a good and pleasant experience with the staff and Doctors and I would recommend av

This appointment was the best I’ve had with Dr Hotchkiss, previous appointments felt rushed

08/02/2023

I truly felt “heard”

07/24/2023

Very satisfied with Dr Hotchkiss

07/12/2023

Dr Hotchkiss is wonderful the reason he cannot spend time with you is trinity makes a limit on office time 20 min is not enough time for a complete and acceptable time to assess the situation

07/11/2023

I walked in w/o appt. They found a spot where I could be fitted in quickly. The exam went well. I needed an ultrasound. They arranged for that. They sent the report in a timely manner. The man in reception was very helpful. The techs were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The entire experience was very good.

07/04/2023

Dr was excellent

06/26/2023

I think he’s terrific

06/25/2023

To think that you have to give a review for them to give you an inhaler of that right there is something he worry about he reviews more than he worry about their patience.

06/20/2023

Great job my son likes u

06/08/2023

Very good as always.

05/31/2023

Very respectful

05/23/2023

I will just ask again, what good is a Dr that doesn't listen to their patient, rolls their eyes ans smirks or tells that patient "I highly doubt that" when they are explaining their symptoms / issues to that Dr?

05/20/2023

The aide to the Dr seemed to do more than the dr

05/17/2023

04/13/2023

Good doc, overloaded with work.

03/23/2023

Satisfied

03/19/2023

Dr. H, was unpleasant and judged me on my pass. I was in alot of pain and called me an opiate abuser. That day i really needed help with my pain but he judged me on my past. I have a past with opiate abuse but that was 5 years ago. He didn't even talk about another route. He was rude to his nurse and said,today sucks! I don't want to be here and i was his next patient. I miss Dr. Wyatt. I hold no grudge with Dr.H but I'll find another Doctor. St.Alls is a very good clinic and i appreciate the clinic. I kinda understand Dr. H and his position towards me. I kinda understand but the past is the past. I haven't searched for paid meds in many years but I've had a difficult surgery and i was in pain and needed help that day. Yes, i was searching that morning because of real pain. You can look up and see i haven't searched in year's. I am fine now and not in pain. I just want to be treated fairly. I understand this country has a opiate problem but i am NO longer a part of it. Thank you.

03/09/2023

Great

03/07/2023

I enjoy my visits with Dr. HODGKINS

02/22/2023

He is a good doctor

02/14/2023

Trying to find a replacement for retired Dr Summers has been difficult. This facility has gotten far too about the insurance companies and focus on patient care seems lost

02/11/2023

Very good care

01/31/2023

I'm very happy

01/21/2023

The best!

01/09/2023

Dr. Hotchkiss is my hero! He actually listens! Always makes me feel better before I leave.

12/29/2022

Dr. Hotchkiss was very nice and was thorough and very helpful

12/23/2022

Still getting to know this provider. We will get there.

12/17/2022

I am impressed with Dr. Hotchkiss, want to continue established care with him.

11/11/2022

I feel he understood me. And was willing to help me

11/04/2022

Well done!

11/03/2022

He listened to everything i had to say and he was very respectful, answered all my questions

10/18/2022

Pushes to do things that I don't want to do.

10/15/2022

He is caring,personable,professional and knowlegable.

08/20/2022

Good communicator

08/02/2022

I had called previously to get my prescription fill, 1 1/2 weeks before I was out. *Dr. Hotchkiss was out of the office I ended up calling over 10 times w/no resolution I went w/out medication for a week and half and finally got my gynecologist office to refill for me.

07/09/2022

Doctor Hotchkiss was punctual, easy to talk to, listened to my concerns, and explained things in a manner I could understand. Answered all my questions regarding previous tests and explained tests he was scheduling for me and gave me a follow up appointment. I was very happy with this doctors way of interacting with me as a patient.

06/17/2022

I felt that he was very thorough and seemed relaxed, not rushed, and spent a good amount of time with me. I prefer to be involved with my care and don't necessarily take the doctors word as fact as things evolve and it is difficult to stay current. I felt that Dr Hotchkiss was respectful of me and my concerns.

05/19/2022

The doctor has toned down his cockiness in his reactions since my first visit a year ago, I was pleasantly surprised. I am pleased with his referral habit.

05/06/2022

Dr. Hotchkiss made me feel heard and was responsive to my needs. He was also transparent in his ability to get back to me with results due to constraints he was experiencing. I have not maintained a PCP just seen whoever was available. I would like to continue to see Dr. Hotchkiss. The lady at the front desk checking me in was kind very helpful and explained well to any questions I had.

05/05/2022

Good.

04/21/2022

This was my 1st visit with my Dr.I just recently moved to the area from the east coast. I know I will be pleased to have them all caring for ne in the future

03/21/2022

Dr Hotchkiss is great doctor

03/10/2022

My complaints are with billing and the fact no division talks or shares their information with each other. I have seen 3 providers and none of them shared what I saw each of them for. It is frustrating.

03/10/2022

*Dr. Hotchkiss seems to be concerned w/my health & knows what I explain to him. He takes all my info & listens to my concerns.

02/26/2022

Dr. Hotchkiss and the nurses were amazing, he immediately got me the help I needed to start relieving the pain I have been experiencing. I will absolutely continue to see him as my primary care provider.

02/13/2022

I really like Dr Hotchkiss. He is very easy to talk to. He took his time with me. I wasn't rushed like I usually am with most Doctors.

01/24/2022

Very pleasant.

12/17/2021

Very good.

11/26/2021

I would see him again.

11/18/2021

He was warm and friendly and completely put me at easy and won me over for him to me my primary physician

11/05/2021

He made it comfortable to be able to talk to him.

10/22/2021

Dr Hotchkiss is a very pleasant person. Listens and actually hears what you say. Last dr only wanted to talk about himself and his religion.

10/15/2021

I had active COVID 2 weeks prior. I called to see if I could get a script of ivermectin, I was told we don't treat with off label drugs for COVID, but then wrote me 2 scripts for off label drugs on my visit. You guys are playing politics with our health and I am not appreciative of it! I got ivermectin from a DIFFERENT DR. and was better in 2 days. You are going to find out fast that you are on the wrong side of this COVID fiasco, and I will leave for another provider in town who didn't politicalize this and instead did what was right for patients! Shame on St. Als.!

10/13/2021

First meeting w/new provider.
