Dr. Sandro LaRocca, MD

Dr. LaRocca definitely broke the mold. Having worked in the medical industry for several decades he is by far the most compassionate, attentive, detail oriented surgeon I have ever met. Hence the reason he is the only spinal surgeon I trust to perform my second spinal fusion surgery due to continued deterioration my degenerative disc disease. Dr. LaRocca and his office staff focus on you as an individual patient. I have never felt rushed out of the exam room so he could move on to the next patient. He reviews radiology studies extensively especially just prior to surgery, explains the surgical procedure in detail and answers all questions. What more can I say. I would highly recommend Dr. LaRocca to anyone who is in need of spinal surgery. Kim A.,BSN Flemington, NJ

I love Dr. LaRocca he knew what was wrong, and helped push everything through my insurance, which wasn't an easy task. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Liz Wysokowski

Dr. LaRocca was a fantastic physician, describing in great detail what was involved with my procedure and the other information I needed in order for this to be successful. Would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a procedure in his areas of expertise.

I suffered with back issues since my college days, but had extreme pain the past four years. I did everything possible using non-invasive methods. Chiropractic care, Acupuncture, Epidural injections, and Physical Therapy, but I hit a plateau and realized, surgery was my last option. When I first consulted with Dr. LaRocca, I was very fearful of needing and having surgery. He answered all my questions, went over all the risks. There was something about Dr. LaRocca that just made me feel very calm, and I had 100% confidence in his experience and ability. I felt safe with him and unafraid. The surgery was a success and his follow-up and concern about my progress has been excellent. Iâ??m now sleeping better. The horrible burning sensation that used to make me crazy is GONE, that alone made the surgery worthwhile. I just bought a pilates machine and will be starting that soon, and also start walking and swimming again.

Before coming to Dr. LaRocca, my lifestyle was shadowed by not being able to move or work as I should, always in pain in my lower back area and neck. Now, after my surgery, I feel more confident of the things I do and being pain-free feels GREAT! Thank you, Dr. LaRocca and all!

I fell while I was under his care after my neck operation. Dr. LaRocca was so concerned that he came to the x-ray facility on the day he was leaving for vacation to make sure there was no further damage. He assured us that things were okay and explained everything and calmed our fears. We were overwhelmed to think he would come to check personally before leaving on a well-deserved break. That is one extraordinary doctor!!!

I heard of Dr. LaRocca from my friend who hurt himself in the gym. When I had a problem after a recent fall, I went to him. AMAZING! He spent so much time reviewing my MRI and explained the surgery that I needed (I was terrified!!). Here I am 4 months later - back running again. My LIFE IS BACK. THANK YOU Dr. LaROCCA! I will recommend you forever!

I fell on Long Beach Island and sustained a C1 cervical fracture. When the ER physicians saw my MRI, they said the best place was the hospital in Hopewell. That is where we met Dr. LaRocca, who came in on a Saturday night to assess the situation. He explained the injury and I was placed in a cervical collar. Dr. LaRocca and his staff were supportive, thorough and professional. I had another health issue that complicated my treatment. I finally had to have a spinal fusion which was successful.

I don't do reviews often, but I just think people need to know when there IS a good doctor out there. He LISTENS, he CARES, he KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING! I have my life and my family back. Dr. LaRocca has changed my life forever. I am grateful to him and his staff.

Very competent! I was nervous. He spent lots of time explaining everything. I couldn't ask for a better surgeon. I heard scary things about back surgery. I can tell you this, I made it through thanks to Dr. LaRocca. He really is the best back doc in the area.
