One pain source at a time. No guesswork.
Dr. Coccaro’s training in surgery and anesthesiology gives him a direct, pragmatic way to find what’s really causing your pain — and a clear plan to treat it.
- We listen firstYour story is the start of the diagnosis. Expect a detailed history, not a rushed visit.
- We examine and review your imaging — with youA focused physical exam plus a walk-through of your X-rays and MRI, so you understand what we see.
- We isolate the pain generatorPrecise, image-guided procedures target one source at a time. No automatic “series of three.”
- We treat it — and stay with youMinimally invasive, non-opioid care, coordinated with your primary doctor, until you’re pain free.
