Medical Director
The medical director of The Spine & Sports Health Center, Alex Visco, M.D. is a board-certified physician who specializes in sports medicine, interventional procedures for neck, back and joint pain, and neurologic disorders.
Our practice's unique "whole-patient" approach comes from Dr. Visco. Troubled by what he witnessed during his first job out of residency – rushed appointments, limited access to personal, hands-on medical care and physical therapy, and instances when patients were treated poorly by office staff – he decided to do things differently when he opened his own practice. With his colleagues, Dr. Visco is committed to providing patients with:
- Ample time to diagnose and treat each patient properly
- Focused follow-up care to ensure the long-term benefits of treatment
- Dedicated, one-on-one physical therapy care
- A strong focus on listening to the patient
- Truly excellent customer service from every staff member
