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.

I needed to be seen right away because of how much pain I was in. I spoke to Anaia on the phone. She was sympathetic and very helpful. She asked Dr. Sabia to call me back and he did. He worked me into his schedule the next morning. He's very busy and I appreciate him very much. Both him and Anaia never treated me like I was a problem to them. They understood the amount of pain I was in and went out of their way to help me.

Excellent experience. Everyone personable and most efficient

I'm seeing Dr. Sabia for an ongoing problem with my back. I have 2 pinched nerves and have been receiving injections in my spine. The insurance makes you jump through hoops and I have to get 4 injections that do nothing for the pain and then I'll be able to get an abulation and hopefully relief from the pain. Dr. Sabia has been giving me the injections and I have no complaints whatsoever with him. Hopefully I will get the last injection this month, November, and then I'll be able to get the abulation.
