Mr. Coco has an esteemed career in sales, management and marketing, and is an accomplished public speaker and President of Coco Training. Looking for new business interests when presented with The Joint concept, he knew it was the one. After tragically losing his daughter Danielle, he feels this concept allows him to keep her legacy alive. "I believe the vision of what The Joint represents is a strong one -- opening doors to health and wellness in a more affordable way," says Mr. Coco. "It provides a needed service to the community, exactly what my Danielle would be doing today." During their Grand Opening the Coco family will be dedicating the clinic to Danielle.
Mr. Coco is proud to announce his clinic doctor, Stephen Rutkowski, D.C. Dr. Rutkowski received his B.S. in Biology from Fairfield University and his Doctor of Chiropractic from New York Chiropractic College. He is past Assistant Professor of Clinical Services at University of Bridgeport, College of Chiropractic and has sat on the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. "I want to be part of the revolutionary trend in health and wellness. I believe The Joint will be at the forefront of delivering a new model of chiropractic care. This will make it more affordable for patients, who up until now have found it to be inaccessible due to the rising cost of healthcare," states Dr. Rutkowski.
Come visit Dr. Rutkowski at 1215 Post Road at the Fairfield at The Brick Walk Promenade. Clinic hours are Monday through Friday 10 to 7 and Saturday 10 to 4.
