Love Dr. Doucet she is very caring and compassionate about her patients she is an amazing doctor.
Dr. Lochner delivered my 2nd Baby about a year ago, first time I had seen her and I loved her. She was very caring about my pregnancy, the first visit I was given a packet about all the things I should be expecting with each trimester, gave me tips about avoiding morning sickness.I wish she would have been here in corpus years ago so she could have delivered my 1st child. But overall she's a great doc. She also had a great staff never have they been rude. I would highly recommend her to friends and family.
