Desert Spine and Sports Physicians is proud to recognize Dr. Brad Sorosky and Dr. Susan Sorosky on their 20th year being named Phoenix Magazine's “Top Docs.”
While this distinction highlights the sustained clinical excellence of its founders, it also represents something far greater—the evolution of a practice built on shared values, rigorous training, and a unified approach to spine and musculoskeletal care.
Today, Desert Spine and Sports Physicians stands as a leading provider of non-surgical spine and musculoskeletal care across Arizona, delivering consistent, high-quality outcomes through a growing team of fellowship-trained physicians.
A Two-Decade Legacy of Excellence in Spine Care
The Phoenix Magazine Top Doc designation—awarded through peer recognition—remains one of the most respected honors in medicine. Earning this distinction year after year signals not only clinical expertise but also enduring trust within the medical community.
Over two decades, that consistency has helped shape the foundation of Desert Spine and Sports Physicians.
What began with two founding physicians has grown into a comprehensive, statewide practice:
- 16 physicians delivering specialized spine and musculoskeletal care
- 6 locations across Arizona, plus an ambulatory surgery center
- A reputation built on non-surgical, outcomes-driven treatment
This growth reflects our deliberate commitment to expanding access while maintaining the same clinical philosophy that defined the practice from the beginning.
What Sets Desert Spine and Sports Physicians Apart
Our practice is differentiated not by any single provider, but by a shared clinical philosophy that’s embedded across the entire organization.
Every physician is fellowship-trained in interventional spine and musculoskeletal medicine, ensuring a consistent, evidence-based approach to care regardless of location or provider. This alignment ensures patients receive the same standard of care throughout the practice.
That consistency is reinforced through Desert Spine and Sports Physicians’ commitment to education and collaboration through the Interventional Spine and Musculoskeletal Medicine Fellowship which was founded in 2011 then accredited by the North American Spine Society in 2018.
This “privademics” model—combining private practice with academic rigor—fosters continuous learning, peer collaboration, and clinical refinement across the team.
Equally important is the culture behind the care. Desert Spine and Sports Physicians has intentionally built an environment grounded in shared core values: humility, accountability, ethical practice, and a patient-first mindset.
Expanding Access to Care Without Compromising Quality
As the practice has grown, access to care has become a defining advantage for patients across Arizona.
Now, most patients can be seen within 48 hours, a meaningful differentiator in a specialty where delays can prolong pain, limit mobility, and impact recovery timelines.
This expansion of access is made possible by:
- Our growing network of physicians and locations
- New, streamlined scheduling and referral pathways
- A shared framework that ensures continuity of care
For patients, this means faster evaluations, earlier diagnoses, and more efficient treatment plans, without sacrificing the depth or quality of care.
A Holistic Approach to Spine and Musculoskeletal Care
At Desert Spine and Sports Physicians, each patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation designed to identify the true source of pain, not just the symptoms at the surface. From there, treatment plans are tailored to the individual, often incorporating:
This model reflects our core philosophy: treat the whole person, restore function, and prioritize long-term outcomes over temporary relief.
