Anthony V. Rocha's Online Review Report Card

Dr.Rocha and Kathleen are wonderful

Went for checkup, every thing A-O-K.

Excellent visits all around. Cannot say enough good things, but in particular the prescription he gave me completely eliminated my excruciating carpal tunnel pains overnight!

I have been overweight since i was a child. I went to see Dr Rocha about general medical concerns and his primary focus was on my weight. I don't have high blood pressure or diabetes as I am pretty healthy for an overweight adult. He continually recommended that I read a book that he used to lose weight. He did this regularly without any consideration of me being on every diet as well as having two gastric surgeries. I didn't need a book referral. I had extreme pain in my left arm due to tennis elbow. I told him of the pain and his response to me was "I will look at your arm once you've lost some weight!" I was horrified by his reply as I left the building. I had gone back to him for a follow up visit & told him about my arm again. He then gave me a Cortizone injection without x-rays of the arm, no counseling regarding exercises or supports to be used to help alleviate the arm pain. I told him that his comment during my last visit was unprofessional and I didn't appreciate it. He had no response or apology for me as he just remained silent! If you are overweight, don't go see Dr Rocha! I wont be back to be fat shamed by him or for subpar medical care.

As a woman & mother, I have met many doctor's in my life. That being said, when I say Dr. Rocha is truly by far, the most knowledgeable & compassionate doctor I have ever known. It's coming from someone who truly isn't one to write a Google review.. but, this office is just too wonderful to not let others know too If you're looking for an excellent physician without feeling like "just a number" this office is the perfect choice for you.

I went to DR. Rocha for over 20 years ,before we moved away. He is a great DR. and person, highly recommend. Very smart and compassionate.

I had been a patient of Dr. Rocha for a few years, and while my health held up, he was an okay doctor. With my yearly visits, I would imagine I was an easy payday for him - as a young, and fairly active and healthy person, there wasn't much he had to do. The standard appointment consisted of a urine test, some blood work and a quick 3 minute consultation in which he would continually warn me about the fluid in my legs and inquire about a thyroid issue that I had not had for quite a few years. (Guess he did not care to read my chart prior to the consultation!) However, I contracted a viral chest infection that left me with no sense of smell, taste and experiencing a variation of neurological symptoms. After a load of tests run, (specified and directed by me, he did not even offer this), nothing was conclusive. I was only referred to a couple of specialists at MY request and was sent away with pills, anti-depressants and Jesus pamphlets and told that this was just my new condition. No other direction other than I simply had to adapt. This is the care you get at Dr. Rocha's. As for the rest of the practice, the phlebotomist has the social skills of a flea. The receptionists are polite enough, but look bored and bothered most of the time, especially when you approach the desk upon arrival/departure. Also, good luck if you are trying to reach the office by phone - NO ONE picks up the phone. I have been trying to call all week to have my medical records forwarded to my new GP and no one has picked up. I have even attempted to reach the emergency help desk for information and was hung up on, as well. God help you if you are seriously ill and require immediate care - you will not get it at this place. Given the shortage in GP's, they know they can abuse their patients, as there are little options to go to other practices given long waits, insurance coverage, etc. They are laughing all the way to the bank and cashing in on the misery of their patients. Once upon a time this place was a decent practice. I initially went there as my parents were patients and he was a good doctor. But it seems time and aging has made Dr. Rocha lethargic and lazy, as well as his team, who are evidentially following his lead. A doctor's work and learning is continual; a doctor should be curious and investigative, so he may better serve his patients; a doctor should offer answers and/or options, not shrugs.

Dr. Rocha has been treating me for around 10 years. He has always been a very caring Dr. I have never been dissatisfied with his treatment.

I just read some of these reviews and they are not true. Dr. Rocha prides himself with the type of care he gives to his patient. I have been a patient there for 15 years and have nothing but good to say of this man and his staff. Highly recommended.

Past patient of Dr. Rocha for over 10+ years. I was having trouble losing weight due to thyroid, so he prescribed me phentermine, I had no problem checking in every 3 months. His wife advised that I needed to come each month, I said I cant commit to that due to my anxiety driving is a challenge most days. So I decided to find a closer dr, at which time his wife put in my file I use the pill for speed and not diet! COYOA much!!! That was not our discussion! She added this to my record after visit
