Like most doctors in my experience, doesn't solve or address my chronic pain. Been in pain for years, I'm young and after trying EVERYTHING the doctors want to try that they think will help, they refuse to hear me out on what I believe is the cause of my pain. Even when I bring evidence and have specific tests I want done, I am continuously shrugged off and my pain persists. Unfortunately it is no different with Dr. Cocco. Doctors have huge egos that often get in the way of potentially curing their patients.

I was informed today from office staff that Dr Coco is leaving this group practice!! And it seems if you are not one of their better customers they would not be able to transfer me to another doctor in this group!! Staff gave me the run around and told me to try a couple of the other offices to see if any other doctor was willing to see me!!! Only to be told we will call you back if any other Doctor is willing to take me as a transfer patient!! Sorry. That I am not sick enough to make worth their while!!

I don't like the office staff. Rude people. The wait time is very long once you get in the room. Dr isn't very helpful and didn't seem to listen to my symptoms.

I have been with Dr. Coco since he began his practice. Probably at least 15 years. He has an excellent bedside manner, is very thorough, and understanding. He is cordial, and in an excellent location.

Dr. Cocco has been our family doctor since 2007. The office staff is much friendlier now than when I first started going to that office. My only wish is that they had evening/Saturday hours.
