Dr. Shochet was my physician for many years when I lived in Pikesville. He was kind and compassionate with his patients. When my Father-in-law was dying in the hospital, Dr. Shochet arranged to have him return home where he died peacefully the next day. I was happy to read he had his family around him at the time of his death. God Bless each of your as you remember him lovingly. Diane Brotman Whyms
