About Me

As a pain management specialist, I believe in taking a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach when treating acute and chronic pain. I utilize all resources available when treating pain. These include but are not limited to interventional techniques, physical therapy, acupuncture, medical management, and others. 

As the Division Head I oversee a group of physicians, APNs, residents, fellows, and office staff at the Cooper Pain Management Center. I started an ACGME-accredited Multidisciplinary Pain Medicine Fellowship Program here at Cooper where residents can receive the proper training to become a board-certified pain medicine physician. This ACGME accreditation ensues that we treat all types of pain and perform all of the state-of-the-art interventional pain management procedures offered in modern medicine.

Dr. Sabia spent time with me and thoroughly explained the plan of action to relieve the pain I have. The entire staff at the appointment office and the surgery center are excellent. They are thorough, polite, courteous and always respect the fact that I am there in pain and are hoping to get relief - they are always patient with me. I have recommended Dr.Sabia many times and will continue to do so.

The medical assistant Jasmine (I think that was her name) was super friendly Dr sabia has been my doctor for 12 years and hasn't given up one me and my pain even when I've wanted to give up. My pain isn't cured (the conditions I have do NOT have cures) but dr sabia and I have worked together to make it as manageable as possible. I had a difficult surgery and recovery in January and dr sabia has helped me get through it without him I don't think I could have. Besides his skills at pain management, he is extremely compassionate and caring. He has been there to cheer me on when I'm struggling. He is one of the few doctors I would trust with ANYTHING. If every doctor was like him the world would be a better place. I could keep on going for a long time because he really is that amazing

I was pleasantly surprised by this encounter with this office and the staff and doctor Sabia are amazing. I'm not used to being treated like a person, and they made me feel comfortable, respected and informed.
