Dr. Pietro Vito Rocca, MD

I was referred by my spine doctor to Dr. Rocca as I'd been having stiffness and pain more than normal herniated discs for years. I thought Dr. Rocca would prescribe lab work to check for autoimmune disease or inflammation. Instead, he bent my elbows, wrists and feet and concluded that the morning stiffness I've had for many youthful years was just part of "getting old." Years later, still in pain, I was diagnosed by another physician with a genetic auto-immune disorder. I should have been on Humira for the last 3 years. Big miss.

Very thorough, soft spoken gentle doctor. Generous with his time, encourages questions & answers at length.

completely missed diagnosed

I developed pain in my knuckes and balls of my feet. It came out of the blue. I saw a chiropractor who told me my spine was out of alignment and started manipulations. All the while, I got worse. I saw an orthopedist who gave me shots in some of my knuckles. This helped but only for a few days. Then, I found Dr. Rocca. He correctly diagnosed me on the first visit, started medicine and within TWO DAYS I was much better. His receptionist is great too.

I'm 62 years old and have been to about a dozen different doctors in my life. This guy is one of the best. He is patient, doesn't make you feel rushed, explains everything very clearly and seems to care. He's got this great receptionist too.

I would highly recommend him. He knows his stuff and he helped my mother a lot.

In a lot of offices, you feel like a number. You get pushed through the office as quickly as possible. Not here. Dr. Rocco spends his time listening to you, examines you AND reviews all the medical records. He is very thorough.

I have known Dr. Rocca for about fifteen years. I have seen him because I have lupus. He has taken excellent care of me. What I really love about him is the fact that he is not an alarmist; a lot of other doctors I see are always panicking: "This is your lupus....Your lupus is flaring.....It's got to be your lupus" etc. But you know what? They don't have a clue what they're talking about. At first, these other doctors would freak me out but they no longer do. Now, when one of my doctors goes ballistic and blames this or that on my lupus, I pick up the phone, make an appointment with Dr. Rocca, bring him my tests and he tells me what's REALLY going on. He's very calming and I love him.

I've met many doctors in my life. Very few exude the caring and compassion that Dr. Rocca does. I highly recommend him to anyone with arthritis.

Dr. Rocca is the absolute best. My job has required me to live in four different locations over the past ten years, I have rheumatoid arthritis and this means four different rheumatologists. Dr, Rocca is head-and-shoulders the best of the lot. He is caring, intelligent, and thorough. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Rocca takes his time with you. Unlike a bunch of other doctors who zip in and zip out, he is thorough. Highly recommend.

This is a very professional office. The receptionist is very courteous and efficient. The waiting room is quiet and clean. The doctor is very prompt; he comes and gets you himself. He reviews all your past tests, listens to you, performs a thorough examination and answers all your questions. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

He figured out what was wrong with me at the first visit. Spent a lot of time explaining. I feel a lot better. Efficient staff.

This doctor and his staff are wonderful. Highly recommend.

I liked him. He knew his stuff. Took his time. Answered all my questions.

I've been to a lot of doctors. Dr. Rocca is different than most. He comes get you from the waiting room (no nurse that leaves you in an exam room forever), he takes your blood pressure himself, he listens to all your problems, he tries to help you as best he can, and he really cares. Don't waste your time with another doctor.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and have lived in different parts of the country over the years. I have therefore been to many rheumatologists. Dr. Rocca is one of the two best rheumatologists I have had. He is knowledgeable and respectful of my needs and opinions. I wish I had found him a long time ago.

dropped me without notice and good reason

I love Dr. Rocca's office demeanor. He is prompt, professional, organized and willing to listen and discuss ideas. I believe in his knowledge and his results. I finshim and his office to be comfortable, caring and thorough and flexible.

Dr. Rocca is knowledgable of his field of expertise, and the problems faced of those that suffer with athritis. He's courteous and listens to the words of his patients. He and his secretary are plesant and helpful.
