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 was knowledgeable, and Pearson able. She answered my questions professionally and made recommendations to resolve my problems. I will be continuing my patronage of desert Spine and sports if I need additional assistance.

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.
