The reviews listed below were collected independently of Desert Spine and Sports Physicians through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Joy identified and fixed a back issue that my surgeon couldn’t even take care of. She really knows her stuff and I would drive to Flagstaff or Tucson if I had to just for her to treat me! She also fixed my knee issue last year and I haven’t had a problem since. The orthopedic doctor I saw thought I should have surgery rather quickly. I love Joy.!!!!

Very disappointed about my visit. Basically was told that there was nothing else that could be done except a procedure that would cost half my annual income. Basically told that I just have to live in pain.
