Welcome to the Jasper Spine Institute
The Jasper Spine Institute is proud to welcome our new full-time Doctor.
John Anthony Coccaro, MD
Interventional Pain Management Physician
John Anthony Coccaro, MD, is a board-certified anesthesiologist specializing in interventional pain management and minimally invasive treatments for conditions affecting the spine. He has dedicated his career to helping patients manage pain, restore function, and improve their quality of life.
Raised in a working-class family in Brooklyn, Dr. Coccaro learned the importance of hard work, discipline, and perseverance at an early age. Those values ultimately brought him to New Jersey, where he found the same strong sense of community that shaped his upbringing.
Dr. Coccaro earned his medical degree from St. George’s University School of Medicine. He began his postgraduate training in general surgery at Monmouth Medical Center, gaining valuable experience in the care of surgical, trauma, and neurosurgical patients.
He later completed his training in anesthesiology and pain medicine at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey. During his residency, Dr. Coccaro developed a particular interest in regional anesthesia and interventional pain management. His surgical training and precise technical skills prepared him to perform image-guided procedures using fluoroscopy and ultrasound for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic pain.
While serving as a staff anesthesiologist at Community Medical Center, Dr. Coccaro met Dr. Gabriel Jasper, who became an important mentor and influence in his career. Dr. Jasper personally trained Dr. Coccaro in advanced interventional pain-management techniques, including minimally invasive and endoscopic approaches to treating spinal conditions.
Dr. Coccaro is honored to continue the patient-centered approach and commitment to innovation that Dr. Jasper established at Jasper Spine Institute. Their shared philosophy emphasizes careful listening, an accurate diagnosis, and a treatment plan tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
Treatment Philosophy
Dr. Coccaro takes a direct, thoughtful, and evidence-based approach to pain management. He begins by listening carefully to each patient and developing a thorough understanding of how pain affects the patient’s health, function, and daily life.
Every treatment plan is based on a detailed medical history, a focused physical examination, and a careful review of relevant imaging, including X-rays and MRI studies. Dr. Coccaro reviews his findings and recommendations with each patient so that treatment decisions can be made together through a clear and informed process.
Rather than relying on a predetermined series of procedures, Dr. Coccaro evaluates the results of each treatment before recommending the next step. Diagnostic and Interventional Pain Management identifies and addresses the root cause responsible for a patient’s symptoms. Specific techniques allow Dr. Coccaro to directly visualize and address the pain generator that is the root cause of the neck, back, and leg pain. Whenever appropriate, Dr. Coccaro prioritizes treatment options and minimally invasive procedures such as pain-relief injections, epidural injections, nerve blocks, ablation, laser and ultrasonic techniques. . He also believes strongly in coordinating care with each patient’s primary-care physician and other specialists, particularly when managing medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease.
For appropriately selected patients, minimally invasive interventional techniques may provide an alternative to more extensive surgery and may allow for a shorter recovery. Above all, Dr. Coccaro is committed to providing compassionate, precise, and individualized care to every patient he treats.

WHAT DO OUR PATIENTS Have To SAY?
WHY MEDICARE ADVANTAGE IS ACTUALLY A DISADVANTAGE
*ANNOUNCMENT*
The Problem is most people are not educated enough on insurance. It's confusing to patients. They are told Advantage plans are better than traditional Medicare. This is simply untrue. The Jasper Spine Institute shows our patients that Traditional Medicare is the superior coverage. There are documented instances where Medicare Advantage plans deny coverage for services deemed “not medically necessary.” Such denials can leave patients responsible for significant out-of-pocket costs and may result in inadequate care if patients are unable to afford the treatments they need.

Treating Painful Neck & Back Conditions
Jasper Spine Institute is a nationally known leader in providing interventional pain management solutions to patients that suffer from painful back and neck conditions. The most common conditions we treat include:
- Herniated or Bulging Disc – Exiting nerves that branch out from your spinal cord sometimes become pinched by bulging or herniated discs, causing extreme pain or numbness.
- Degenerative Disc Disease – Degenerative disc disease occurs when your discs become dehydrated and deteriorated, leading to lower back pain.
- Compression Fracture – A compression fracture or Spondylolisthesis is caused when one or more of the facets that join your vertebrae together become weak and fracture.
- Failed Back Surgery – Many patients suffer from failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS), which leads to chronic and severe pain after unsuccessful back surgery.
- Facet Syndrome – Facet joint syndrome or chronic axial back pain involves chronic pain and severe spasms in the neck or back when standing or leaning backwards.
- Spinal Stenosis – Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spaces in the spine, reducing space for nerves and causing pain, most commonly in the neck and lower back.
- Sciatica – Patients with sciatica often suffer from chronic pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve that runs down one or both legs.
