 DT, Primary Care Physician

"Dr Bicocca has been instrumental in helping myself as a primary care doctor, my colleagues and my patients not only understand the risks of opioids but he has also provided vital knowledge and experience to assist with making a lot of very difficult encounters easier. 

Also, as Chair of the P&T Committee, I have worked closely with Dr Bicocca and he has been invaluable in creating a safer opioid prescribing environment in our hospital through his leadership as the Chief of the Pain Department as well as also setting up and delivering our opioid education classes to our patients". 

 GP, Primary Care Physician

“Dr. Michael Bicocca has been very helpful in educating our primary care physicians and our patients in understanding the dangers of opioid medications and in deciding how to wean opioids in patients on different doses of opioids and in different situations.  After hearing Dr. Bicocca speak, one of my patients decided to taper off from 8 Norco 10’s per day down to no opioids in 4 months.  She later told me that she was in a foggy daze for the years that she was on Norco and feels much better now that she is off opioids.”

KH, Chronic Pain RN

"As a 12 year board certified pain management nurse, I entered Dr. Bicocca’s opioid class with little confidence that I would gain new knowledge, but I walked out his biggest fan. In the midst of the opioid crisis, Dr. Bicocca’s opioid class was enlightening and extremely instrumental in making interactions with my patients easier by giving me the history and information needed to convince them that opioids are not a sustainable method of treatment.  I could not recommend Dr. Bicocca’s opioid class more, it is a critical ingredient to making anyone’s practice run smoother, faster and safer."

LN, Primary Care Physician

"The ever increasing workload creates sometimes an insurmountable task in managing my chronic opioid patients. Having a colleague with the knowledge and expertise such as Dr. Mike Bicocca - who has helped so many of my patients wean off opioids and seek alternative pain treatments - is an invaluable tool. "
