I specialize in the treatment of complex sacral, lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spinal disorders in adults using less invasive and open techniques. I have a special interest in the treatment of spinal deformity affecting the cervical or thoracolumbar spine and managing spinal trauma. I aim to care for patients through close collaboration, taking my time to ensure that everyone understands their particular condition and helping each individual make the treatment decision that is right for them and their particular circumstances. Every patient is a person with their own needs and wants, and so I treat each as I would like to be treated at every stage. My team and I are here to help patients with concerns and questions before, during, and after treatment. Dr. Rocos is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Compartment Syndrome. His top areas of expertise are Scoliosis, Kyphosis, Spondylolisthesis, Osteotomy, and Spinal Fusion.
