"I was very pleased with my treatment. It is important to me that a doctor listens to their patient and not just wait for their time to speak. Dr Roca listened and adjusted his treatments according to my concerns. I felt like we were part of a team! I would recommend him to everyone!"

"Doctor Roca has performed shoulder surgery on me. After rotor cuff surgery, I never took the first pain pill. He is an outstanding Orthpeadic surgeon in my opinion. He has great listening skills in understanding your pain and needed information. Yes, I have already recommended him to my family and friends."

"He’s the best! If I had my choice of any Ortho in the country, I would choose Dr Roca. I have been his patient since 2011 after an accident which left both my rotator cuffs torn and my knee messed up. He has done 3 surgeries on my shoulders and I now have a job working in a field that requires lifting all day long. The man is amazing."
