A board-certified general surgeon, Bocker is specialty trained in Level I trauma surgery and head and neck surgical oncology. She earned her medical degree from Northwestern University School of Medicine, completed her general surgery residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center, and completed fellowship training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
