Desert Spine and Sports Physicians Wins Yelp’s “People Love You” Award
We’re proud to share our recent recognition with the “People Love You” on Yelp award for 2025—an honor that reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional care, as rated directly by our patients. This award is given exclusively to businesses that consistently maintain outstanding ratings and reviews on Yelp, and we’re grateful to be recognized as one of the Valley’s top-rated medical practices.
While recognition is never our goal, it is a meaningful indicator that our patient-first approach continues to resonate with the people who matter most: the patients we care for.
What Winning the “People Love You” Award Means
The “People Love You” award isn’t something businesses can buy or apply for. It’s earned through consistently high ratings, positive reviews, and strong community feedback. For us, this means our patients are not just receiving expert, compassionate care; they’re receiving care that they’re excited to share about with others.
Whether someone came to us for advanced spine injections, regenerative therapies like PRP or BMAC, or an evaluation for spine and musculoskeletal pain, our goal has always been to deliver thoughtful, specialized, non-surgical solutions. This award shows that our commitment is making a difference.
What Our Patients Are Saying
Across Yelp and other platforms, we see a few key themes consistently emerge in our patients’ feedback: clinical excellence, personalized care, professionalism, and trust.
“Desert Spine and Sports, Joshua and Dr. Brad, are so knowledgeable and helpful, and I am so glad I was referred there.”
—Linda O.
“Dr. Susan Sorosky is sooooo nice and genuine and gentle and caring!”
—Tina L.
“Dr. Ralhan was informative, highly professional, and knowledgeable, and he answered all my questions thoroughly.”
—Linda J.
From front-office staff to fellowship-trained physicians and pain management specialists, patients frequently comment on the caliber of care at every step. They note the timeliness of their appointments, clear communication, and thoughtful guidance throughout each stage of diagnosis and treatment.
These patient reviews reflect more than satisfaction; they reflect trust. And for a medical practice focused on relieving pain and restoring function without surgery, that trust is everything.
How We Continue to Deliver Exceptional Customer Experience
Our model is rooted in personalized treatment plans that address the whole person, not just a person’s symptoms. Each care plan is developed and delivered by board-certified physiatrists and pain management specialists with advanced training in spine and musculoskeletal medicine.
Some of the key elements and differentiators that drive positive patient experiences with us include:
- Evidence-Based, Non-Surgical Treatments: From image-guided spine injections to regenerative options, we utilize cutting-edge techniques that minimize downtime and promote long-term healing.
- Whole-Person Care: We look beyond the injury to understand lifestyle, activity level, and health goals. This allows us to develop targeted, realistic plans that support lasting recovery.
- Transparent and Respectful Communication: We prioritize patient education, ensuring that each person understands their condition, treatment options, and expected outcomes.
- Collaborative Culture: Our team-based approach ensures seamless coordination across providers and locations, supporting consistent, high-quality care.
Recent expansions, such as opening our new Gilbert location and the addition of new providers in North Phoenix and Peoria, ensure more patients have access to timely care without compromising the Desert Spine and Sports Physicians standard.
