"The fellowship at Desert Spine and Sports Physicians is not just a training program on how to perform injections but a true education on how to practice evidence based musculoskeletal medicine in a private practice that provides the highest level of patient care in a fun and collegial setting. I will always be eternally grateful for the knowledge and skills that Drs. Brad Sorosky, Susan Sorosky, Tima Le, and Arthur Hatch all taught me as they have prepared me to practice confidently and help my patients."

D Brooks

"Just a small token of my appreciation for being totally pain free - 28 years of back pain was plenty! I thought it to be ironic that one of the most renowned spine surgeons in Scottsdale couldn't find a thing wrong with my back, yet on my first visit you were able to discern from the same MRI and rectify the problem. Guess who I think is the best doctor in the town (no), state (no), world! Kudos to you and your assistants."

"I want to take this time to send you a huge Thank You for a very positive epidural injection experience. I knew after coming to see you, that you were the one I would want to do this procedure, but, as you know, I was very fearful and anxious. However, to my delight it was painless. I know I have a long way to go and may need another injection, but thanks to you, I'Il go into it calmer and assured that I'm getting the best possible care. I also want to thank your staff, who were so professional, understanding and caring. They also helped put me at ease. And a definite "thumbs up" to the big guy who handled me like a sack of potatoes, only gently."

Dennis E.

"I met Dr Hatch for the first time yesterday for tennis elbow. I have been trying everything without success. He listened to me but then went the extra mile many don't. He sent me home with a sample to try, explained in detail why I'm in pain and several of my options. Then he stepped away. To find out, he went next door to the physical therapist office to see if they could get me in for a quick appt. Then he walked me over for a proper introduction. Jessica was just what I needed. I feel I'm on a productive path for recovery and pain management, at last. Thank you Dr Hatch. "

P. Kirkpatrick

"After having back pain for three years, consulting many doctors, having physical therapy, as well as other pain control procedures, I was considering back surgery. My primary care physician recommended I visit Desert Spine and Sports Physicians before committing to surgery. I followed my doctor's advice. After a thorough examination, Dr. Tima Le recommended and performed several procedures to reduce my pain. These procedures made a big difference, my back pain is no longer dictating my life and I am now back to enjoying my retirement and normal physical activities. I highly recommend Desert Spine and Sports Physicians."

Congratulations to you and Brad for once again making the special doctor list in the annual edition of the Phoenix magazine. Of course, that was no surprise to me. Hope you and your practice continued to do well, and that... to quote Dr. Porter just before my surgery..."your hands and expertise bring relief to those who suffer." Warm regards."

D Tomlinson

"I had spent over 35 years seeking treatment for injuries to my spine that were a result of my combat service in Vietnam as a gunship pilot… I was living with the pain and physical restrictions inherent with my condition until December of 2011 when my primary care referred me to Desert Spine & Sports Physicians. The procedures that you have performed on my spine have provided me with the first relief from 35 years of continuous pain and discomfort. I am living proof that there are medical miracles and I thank Dr. Sorosky for the superlative medical care."

I don’t know how long I can expect this miracle to continue, but please know I am so blessed to have been your patient and for each and every day I am pain free."

-

Sheri S.

"I wanted to thank you for the time and effort you put into the diagnosis… You went above and beyond what most doctors do today in a society driven by numbers where often a patient is rushed in and out and no real effort is made to truly assess the situation. The fact that you were not satisfied with the first diagnosis and continued to seek out answers is commendable. I want you to know how much I appreciate the time you spent and the attitude. I have told all my friends and we all agree that it’s nice to know that there are still doctors who consider the patient’s needs, who really want to heal and not just prescribe pills."

-

A. Joy

Furthermore, the warmth and support of all of the staff made it a joy to be a part of DSSP, one big family!"

"Hello Brad! I came to your office in the spring of 2014 to be evaluated for spinal injections for intractable back pain due to An L1 compression fracture. Within 1/2 hr after looking at my radiographs, you referred me to Andrew Little at BNI.

I' ll forever be grateful to you!!! I had a thoracic laminectomy & a lumbar fusion, with total relief. Unfortunately, I had already sustained some spinal cord damage, but I've been rehabbing with a trainer for the past 5 years. My progress has I been phenomenal! Had I not consulted you, I could be in a pretty sad state. Instead, I'm improving my quality of life by increasing my strength, ability to walk with a walker, all kinds of good stuff!

I've wanted to thank you for years! I found your card during my spring cleaning & I decided that was a nudge to contact you. I hold you in high esteem, because I feel like you saved my functionality. A thousand thanks to you for initiating my journey to wellness."

I wish I had tried them sooner!"
