John A. Coccaro, MD, is a well-versed anesthesiologist and interventional pain management physician who diagnoses and treats patients at Precision Pain Management in Toms River, New Jersey, which he established in 2014. His practice offers advanced treatments for acute and chronic pain, including regenerative medicine, MILD (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression), as well as Vertiflex™ Superion® minimally invasive spinal decompression. Dr. Coccaro treats both acute and chronic pain conditions, such as sciatica, spinal stenosis, auto injuries, herniated discs, slip and falls, pinched nerves, and all types of back and neck pain. His practice also addresses issues of opioid addiction. “My philosophy on interventional pain management […] is direct and precise by isolating and treating one pain source or pain generator at a time. My approach avoids dogmatic thinking such as a “series of three” […]. Listening to the patient’s problems is the essential beginnings of my interaction with a patient and is paramount to my approach”, says Dr. John A. Coccaro about his approach to pain medicine. Prior to his current endeavors, he served as an anesthesiologist at the Community Medical Center in Toms River, NJ. Moreover, Dr. Coccaro is active in providing health care to underprivileged communities. His endeavors include a volunteer mission trip to Haiti with the Hospital of the Sacred Heart in Milot, Haiti. “My humble beginnings started in Brooklyn… The people who lived there […] worked for the good of their family and their bodies suffered for it. It was through their suffering that I saw my future in medicine and so my decision to become a doctor was more one of fate rather than being born into it”, expresses Dr. John A. Coccaro.
