 My name is Dr. Rocco Basora. I'm a shoulder and elbow and sports medicine specialist. And I belong to orthopedic specialist in New Jersey with Hackensack Meridian Healthcare. Well, I initially studied mechanical engineering. I got my Bachelors and my Masters in mechanical and biomechanical engineering. I was very interested in how they developed implants. And I thought to myself, you know, rather than designing these implants, I prefer actually being the one in planting them and helping patients directly. Patients who come in oftentimes are nervous. I sit down and I draw things out for them. You know, I kind of explain to them exactly what they have, why it is we are going to do what we're supposed to be doing for that particular patient. It makes a world of a difference when they truly understand what they have and what needs to be done. And they're less fearful in the end. My first and foremost way of treating patients is to do it in a conservative fashion, you know, which means, you know, maybe home exercise programs, physical therapy. If patients are having lots of pain, we can try cortisone injections. You know, I can't tell you how many times a patient will come to me and say, I thought you were going to perform surgery on me. And I try to explain to them that 80% of patients who come in really don't need surgery. Patients come in, they're in need. And I feel that I'm very fortunate that I'm in a position where there's something that I can do to help them out and hopefully change their lives.
