PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY

In 2003, Dr. Sockrider entered medical practice and pursued additional training in the diagnosis and treatment of breast disease. New technologies such as breast ultrasound and minimally invasive biopsy are of particular interest to Dr. Sockrider. He has advanced his skills in this field by actively participating in national professional breast care societies. Because of his specialized knowledge, Dr. Sockrider brings the most advanced breast care and latest techniques to our community.

 

In 2006, he partnered in the first dedicated breast care surgical practice in our community. This practice introduced a variety of minimally invasive office based procedures including MammoSite placement. Dr. Sockrider performed the first Cryoablation (freezing) of a breast fibroadenoma in Louisiana.

 

In 2007, he founded Breast Care Specialists to provide the best possible care to the widest range of patients and insurance plans in the community.

 

Dr. Sockrider believes that no amount of technology is a substitute for time spent with patients. Personal relationships formed with patients are a defining part of his practice.
