“My first appointment with Dr Zocca was great. We had a thorough discussion of my medical history, what kinds of treatments I've already tried, and my experiences with them. She gave me multiple suggestions and options that she would recommend based on patients with similar health concerns, explaining the pros & cons for each and the process involved with each option. She left it totally up to me to decide what I wanted to do/try, wasn't pushy about any particular option, and was completely open to future support as needed for any treatment that was an involved process.”

It wasn’t clearly stated what she prescribes for, so I wasn’t able to get all my needs met and had to schedule with another provider. The options that this Dr. Offered weren’t necessarily covered by insurance and were out of pocket.

Dr. Zocca's experience-based knowledge and confidence is felt immediately. She is such a skilled communicator. Whether about details of dosing, or navigating life with pain, I have found her input invaluable to my recovery process. She strikes a great balance of patience and urgency, regarding pain and the improvements I am seeking.

I was having a pretty horrendous time with a different doctor (unrelated practice) so I booked a last-minute appointment with Dr. Zocca, and that was the best decision I've made in a while! Zocca has an amazing familiarity with my conditions and a treatment plan in mind for patients with that disorder but didn't ever make me feel railroaded, it felt like she really formulated a specialized plan for me based on what I told her. I felt very listened to and she has instantly become one of my favorite doctors I've ever had!

Dr Zocca is very pleasant and also knowledgeable in her field. She shows heartfelt concern for her patient even if its their first time meeting them. Looking forward to a good relationship with her. Clinic staff was pleasant as well. This is a virtual visit

She is a wonderful doctor.
Verified patient
Very disappointed. Waited an hour for them to “verify” my insurance. The doctor didn’t really listen to me and just told me to try PT, even though I already tried that. I left without treatment and without a diagnosis.
Dr. Zocca was very personable and knowledgeable and was clear in her explanation of what she thought might be my issues. I would definitely recommend her.
Verified patient
It’s not a reflection on Dr. Zocca but more on the inadequacy of her staff and, possibly, their relationship with Zocdoc. In anticipation of my appointment, I contacted the office to verify two things: that my insurance was accepted (as noted online) and that was it might be used toward Prolotherapy treatment. (also advertised) I was relieved when the receptionist answered affirmatively, adding the specificity that I’d possibly have a deductible, etc. On the way to my appointment today, I received fragmented messages from her office, saying that my appointment was canceled. When I finally reached a receptionist, it was only a bit more helpful than speaking with a computer. She explained that it was canceled because the doctor does not practice this intervention and that she did not accept my insurance. Honestly, to reinsure her dignity, I did not really put all onus on their team, but in retrospect, I am completely dumbfounded. This sloppiness is also, I think, a trend of the time.
Verified patient
My appointment with Dr. Zocca went very well. She is very educated and was very nice and extremely patient with me. She spent a lot of time with me, listening and explaining. She was also very gentle with the procedure that I had done. I would highly recommend Dr. Zocca for any pain management needs.
Verified patient
Dr Zocca was very through and kind. I would definitely see her again if needed. Additionally her practice is connected with a great PT group and I was able to get in right away.
Verified patient
Very patient, well-informed, and validating medical provider who uses a patient-centered approach rather than a cookie-cutter perspective. Extremely l accessible via portal messaging system, which is convenient for quick questions. Spent over an hour with me and was never rushing through. Definitely recommend!
Great experience with Dr. Zocca. She was very thoughtful in her approach and took as much time as I needed to discuss my needs. Excellent bedside manner.
she was terrific.
Verified patient
She was very nice and patient, knowledable and understanding. We got right to business, and she explained all my options. I did not feel rushed, or like she only wanted to bill my insurance. Would recommend to anyone! Going back next month :)

Dr. Zocca is very professional & patient.
