I have had many operations and have seen many doctors. When you walk into Dr. LaRocca's office, the first thing you feel is the absolute cleanliness and friendly professionalism. Then comes the best medical attention I have ever received.

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.
