Sonoran Spine Center Reviews ( 224 )

  1. This Dr office is great!! They have one of the best spine Dr’s in the country. Dr Chang did a great job on my back and it was a very complicated surgery 8 hours worth

  2. This office gets zero stars!! (have to give it one or it won’t post)
    Have had the most disappointing and frustrating time with the Tempe office while trying to get some help with back pain. First visit I saw a PA who ordered …

  3. I saw Taylor PA and he was extremely knowledgeable. He also was very patient and took the time to explain things to me at my understanding. He also showed me my MRI. I for sure have found a new Orthopedic Surgeon. If the PA is this Great, the Surgeon must be phenomenon.

  4. Misleading websites. On their website they said they are accepting Health Choice Arizona but when calling to make an appointment, they said they do not take Health Choice Arizona!!

  5. I would have given a 5 but being required to be at the facility is too long because I’ve never been taken early and I have to pay a caregiver by the hour and it’s expensive

  6. Don’t go here! They will not try to find the cause of your pain, they guess and then operate. If it doesn’t work they give up! This is a patchwork place they don’t investigate to find a solution. I am actually in more pain than when I started with them!

  7. I’ve waited 3 weeks to even get a call to schedule a procedure. It takes 5 minutes to schedule something so I’m not sure what the delay is. I’ve tried calling and leaving voicemails and no one ever gets back to me . Wouldn’t recommend if you’re a busy person and can’t keep calling them all of the time

  8. I was treated with utmost care with consideration to my pain and discomfort, and most importantly, as a patient who needs care.Iwould recommend this office to everyone needing this type of care.- Joe Gomez

  9. Everyone was very friendly and professional and made the procedure very comfortable. The doctor was talking to me about the procedure and got a phone call so didn’t get to finish our conversation unfortunately

  10. i was given all the facts and had plenty of time to ask all my questions. i was never made to feel my concerns weren’t valid and i had lots of them.
    The entire team was wonderful.
    i would recommend this team highly.

  11. The woman I saw didn’t listen, she actually couldn’t repeat back to me what I told her. Given my symptoms and her stating I shouldn’t be experiencing this symptoms with the problems in spine, she really should have thought about allergic reactions to corticosteroids and glucocorticosteroids.

  12. Compassionate, decisive, concerned and most important totally competent. If you have real pain this is the guy to go to. He possesses all the expertise in a doctor you would pray for, just the best!!!

  13. These doctors know what they are doing! Great pain doctors ! I have had multiple failed surgeries they keep my pain in check also I have Ra ! The staff are 👍 friendly …

  14. I was having horrible back pain and Bryce and his team got me in for an appointment the same day and I felt a lot better from being in a tremendous amount of pain, the day after!

  15. I came to Dr Crowder for severe pain in my neck and back. I look forward to being pain free. I know it takes time, and I look forward to that day. God bless this talented man,and his staff.

  16. Dr. Mossallee was great. I had no problems with this procedure. The staff was also exceptional. No problems to report. Excellent care from everybody at the Surgical Center.

  17. DR MOSALLAIE & TEAM PREFORMED MULTIPLE COMPLEX PROCEDURES ON MY LOWER BACK, BURNING NERVES ON BOTH SIDES PARTIALLY . ELIMINATING MY CHRONIC PAIN.
    I WILL NOT HAVE THE COMPLEX BACK SURGERY DEFINED BY MY ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON, …

  18. While Dr Datta may be a talented surgeon, the after care is poor. The office takes 4 days or more to fill a pain prescription immediately following surgery. The stress of wrestling with a prescription is completely unnecessary and a clear …

  19. Dr Mosallaie is a very friendly and knowledgeable specialist. He was clear in explaining my condition and what his next steps were to help alleviate the pain before possible surgery.

  20. I have yet to see anyone in the office and I cant really judge their level of service, but trying to get in to see one of their doctors is impossible. I have had 2 appointments rescheduled. My situation is urgent but they dont care, I can …

  21. Every single person I have dealt with at Sonoran has been wonderful. I am sorry I can’t name them all. As a workers comp patient, I am NOT used to being treated with dignity, care and respect. Dr Crandall And company gave me something I honestly was running short on, HOPE. Thanks to the entire staff!

  22. Office is not helpful at all and the Dr and PA’s are not hands on. Visits are extremely short. I have been in pain since November and they only provided me with pain medications for 2 weeks. Refused to continue pain management unless I …

  23. I have been a patient at Sonoran Spine for over 13 years. I see Dr. Crandall and Dr. Mosallaie. Their treatment of patients is second to none. They truly care about their patients which is rare in today’s society. Patient care is #1 at Sonoran Spine.

  24. I absolutely give Dr. Waldrop a 100 , He is the most compassionate, caring, and nicest Dr. I have ever known, He listens to what u have to say and does his best on answering questions. He also goes above and beyond for his clients….

  25. Very friendly but professional. Used up most care and applying the shots. On September 16th he will be giving me a nerve block in my back and I hope hope hope that helps!!!!! Staff was very friendly and helpful also.
    Thank you

  26. From the front desk to the x-ray tech was a great experience. Doctor Datta was wonderful he listened to me and was very positive. I would highly recommend him.

  27. The Doctors,font desk and Xray tech were geat. The MA(Pierre) for Doctor Chang was the most unprofessional person I have dealt with in a long time. I was told by their office and my general Doctors office that they would have the CT scans …

  28. I really like Dr. Crandall and he nearly saved my life. I had a post -surgical infection from another physician after having back surgery who didn’t catch the infection, and Dr. Crandall had me in the hospital that day after seeing …

  29. The doctors, nurses, technicians, and front office are always, always very friendly and courteous regardless of how busy they are, and they are very busy. I thank God for Sonoran Spine Center and everyone working there. I am alive and …

  30. I’m so thankful that they were able to squeeze my husband in as a new patient! My husband was in a lot of pain and after wasting our time with another place we called and after hearing how much pain he was in squeezed him right in. I wish …

  31. I have been to Total Body before, so I will try not to compare. Everyone was very friendly. I liked what we did and the information my exam revealed. I was hoping to do more.

  32. I normally don’t make reviews but… The girl who makes the appointments over the phone was very rude. She was not only very disorganized but didn’t really answer the questions that I asked. I was really excited to get my scoliosis looked …

  33. I love Dr. Crowder, of all of the people I have seen about my back he is the most kind and understanding. He has never rushed me out of a room, he always spends the time to answer all of my questions. I have had one minor surgery with him …

  34. Dr. Datta is nothing less than amazing! I have severe degenerative disk disease and Datta performed two extremely successful double spinal fusions on my spine, within the past 8 years. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Datta’s for nearly 9 years …

  35. Been a patient of Sonoran spine for many years. Dr. #DATA is the go to doctor for your back or your neck. He has done multiple surgeries on me or with great success. I would recommend him to anyone. And I do.

  36. I was recommended to Dr. Dennis Crandel by my Neurologic Doctor. Dr. Crandel is a good Spine Doctor he’s up front how he can help a patient with their situation and tries different alternatives that will benefit a patient. Dr. Crandel cares about his patients!!!!

  37. Dr. Datta is in my opinion the number 1 rated back surgeon in the Phoenix area. I had seen 4 other Spinal Specialist before being blessed enough to find Dr. Datta. He and his skilled associates literally gave me back the ability to live …

  38. I have only seen Dr. Michael Chang twice but I am impressed with how he answers all my questions directly and to the point. He will be doing major surgery on my back in January and I anticipate that he will do an outstanding job from speaking with others, including doctors, who know of him and his work.

  39. Physician’s Assistant quite helpful, knowledgeable; listened to my concerns and responded accordingly. Med Assistant also adept in her work; office staff were kind and courteous.

  40. Front office staff is extremely unpleasant. Very unwelcoming. Also, I understand policies and guidelines have been set due to COVID-19 but, there are still some people that require caregivers. I was told I could not accompany my disabled husband.

  41. I have been a patient for about 3 years. Sonoran Spine is primarily a surgical practice. PA Mara Immediato has been great, and at no time was there a push for surgery as an answer to my pain. She prescribed physical therapy with Bert …

  42. I was very anxious to meet Dr.Crandall and he clearly met all my expectations! Dr.Crandall was thoroughly engaged in the treatment of my overall well-being. He was attentive to my concerns and questions. …

  43. I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Crandall’s physician assistant in the Phoenix office- Dr. Clair Moore. She listened and did all she could do to care for my injury. I am considerably improved because of her good care. …

  44. Dr Crandall is the most caring and compassionate doctor I know. Not to mention a top rated and excellent surgeon. He also has a wonderful and caring medical assistant Sarah, she is awesome.

  45. Dr Waldrop is very professional and great doctor. He listens and answers all your questions. Everyone in his Glendale office is also professional and great! Thank you all for the great care I receive from your office!! 🙂

  46. Dr datta is truly one of a kind doctor. There is no one else I trust with my back pain & back injury! Beyond being such an amazing doctor and surgeon, he’s just as great of a person. He’s someone who truly cares and will take the time to …

  47. Very knowledgeable, great personality, great bedside manor and very compassionate. He takes time to talk and listens to his patients. He has my full trust. The staff are so very helpful and concern about each and every patient.

  48. The entire staff at Sonoran Tempe are kind and caring. I’m grateful for Dr Datta’s time and skill set. He has reduced my pain and works well as a team with my pain management doctor and physical therapist. If you have SI joint issues I highly recommend Dr Datta.

  49. This Dr is the most caring pain Dr I have ever met. I have been treated with kindness and the most respect I have ever received since my my journey with pain meds. There has been no feelings in this office that I am only there to get pills, …

  50. My husband Wayne has cancer and arthritis. I listened to the recording of the visit and found the physician, concise, respectful and not once did he talk down to my husband. My husband liked him fine.

  51. I had an emergency spinal fusion and laminectomy performed by Dr. Datta last Friday. Due to the serious nature of my condition he worked me in to his very busy schedule and did the surgery two days after seeing me. He was extremely …

  52. I feel alot better after receiving an injection from Dr Mosallaie. I had a burning pain going down my thigh cause of my scoliosis. I received the injection on Thursday 10/1/20 and haven’t had the burning feeling. I had injections before and happy to get relief for at least the 6 months that it usually last.

  53. Dr Crandall and his entire staff have provided the most excellent care for me. From prompt appointments, questions, and correct information from physical therapy to fast on time refills. He did a major back surgery on me and I would not let …

  54. Dr. Datta is carrying and very patient with you. I have been with Him now for 7 years now. He listens and understands. I trust him with my back and my life. He and Dr Ajay Yeddu from Desert interventional spine consultants worked together from different offices to make sure I got what I needed. Great job.

  55. DR. Mosallaie is a very good person. He listens to your needs and explains in every detail the procedure he will be doing. I would highly recommend him to anyone that would need a pain management Doctor.

  56. Fahad Mosallaie seems to be a competent physician but he firmly believes his time is far more valuable than anyone else’s. People with whom he works offer “he doesn’t like to wait” yet he expects patients to endure wait times of 30, 45, 60 …

  57. Dr Waldrop is amazing. He takes the really time to pinpoint the problem and make recommendations to correct the issues. You never feel like you are being rush and he genuinely cares about your well-being. Highly recommend!!!

  58. They don’t seem to be the best organized office. Anytime I’ve had to deal with them they don’t know what to do, aren’t really good at directing phone calls to the proper Department, and forget any above and beyond customer service. The …

  59. I’m very pleased with Dr Crandall. He has performed two surgeries on me which included both lumbar and cervical fusions and repair from previous spine surgeries. He’s an outstanding surgeon and a very good listener. He was able to pinpoint …

  60. He was fine. However, I will no longer be a patient since he can only do procedures very early in the day and I don’t have a driver that can take me at 8 am. Or earlier.

  61. Dr. Mosallaie is wonderful. He has given me several injections in my spine and most recently, into my shoulder. There is little to no discomfort because of how very careful he is.

  62. Dr Datta and his team are on top of their game and the office as a whole is as well! He did neck fusion and Lumbar surgery in the same session consecutively, first the neck end then the lumbar and pretty pleased so far with the results after 6 weeks! Kudos to Sonoran spine to have that talent available.

  63. Amy was courteous, informative, and obviously quite knowledgeable of her practice. I felt much better about my upcoming recovery after Amy walked me through the do’s and don’ts of post-operative physical activity.

  64. Everyone at Sonoran Spine was very courteous and friendly. They all took time to explain and assist and the wait time was minimal. Dr.Crandall was also great. He is the first doctor I’ve seen for my back problems, in a span of about 10 …

  65. This was my first visit at Sonoran Spine. I was very impressed with Dr. Young’s caring demeanor and knowledge. We agreed on a course of action based on his expertise and my prior history of lumbar and cervical spine surgery. His staff was caring as well as professional.

  66. Dr Datta is the best surgeon. People constantly tell me horror stories of their back and neck surgeries. I tell them – they just didn’t use Dr Datta! I obviously trust Dr Datta with my life.

  67. I received a “Second Opinion” from Dr. Young, following a spinal surgery, by a different surgeon, that had little success in regards to pain, and nerve issues. Dr. Young was very thorough, and uncovered a nerve impingement that was not …

  68. Wonderful Doctor. He takes the time to explain everything to you, even if asked again and again. He Then listens to his patients concerns, with the understanding of the pain and the effects it has on their life. He gives a very clear picture of approach to be taken to start process of healing, in a way that puts you at ease.

  69. Amy is great and very detailed. She understands your pain and makes you feel very comfortable. Thanks Amy for working with my back and hip issues and hopefully I’ll get back to normal.

  70. My Doctor and the staff were amazing. Very educational and super helpful. However they don’t do injections on site and the site they use were going to charge me $1400 for a freaking injection. Are you kidding me? It’s a simple injection …

  71. I made an appointment for severe neck pain. The appointment process was very easy and since I am a first time patient, paperwork was e-mailed to me so I was able to fill it out in the privacy of my home. I was greeted very professionally at …

  72. Once the MRI was done on my back, Dr. Datta responded ASAP and put the ball rolling to do the surgery that will “fix” my back. Very efficient and personable. Would recommend him to anyone with a back problem

  73. My experience with Dr. Mosallaie was quite pleasant. Although the diagnosis he delivered was disappointing, he presented it with kindness and compassion. He explained things thoroughly and recommended further treatment with another specialist. Overall, my visit with him was very satisfactory.

  74. Everyone is very friendly, patient and you are
    Listened to about any questions or concerns.
    I truly like their website, you can see results about any tests or get messages from the staff

  75. Bert was charged with helping me with neck pain that existed 18 years due to injury. I’d been to several P/T’s during that time, Bert is the first to actually read the Radiologist report, discuss my condition with the PA before my interview …

  76. Dr. Crandall, his PAs, & staff were all very friendly & helpful. We usually are in & out pretty quickly when there for a visit, whether seeing Dr Crandall or his PA. Dr. Crandall did back surgery on my husband and the results were very …

  77. Dr Kelli just said to us that Dr. Chang doesn’t believe disability is any of the following; having physical or mental impairment that substantially limits life activity. Or having any record of such impairment. And Once they have ‘fixed’ …

  78. Dr Mosallaie is strategically skilled, thorough and conscientious concerning the administration and maintenance of the Sonoran Spine Pain Management Program. He discussed the entire realm of short-term and long-term treatments available to …

  79. Mr. Bednar and his associates were very thorough. They explained what they were proposing for my therapy plan and answered all my questions. Felt significantly better physically from just the first appointment.

  80. Dr. Jason Datta is an exceptionally skilled ortho spine surgeon. He also has a great command of the clinical sciences, not often seen in a surgeon. …

  81. Matt, PA, spent quality time with me to explain my options regarding my condition. I left understanding all my options. The entire experience was comfortable, caring and informative. Thanks Matt!

  82. The level of “care” I recieved at the center was the best I have ever gotten at any specialist doctors office ever! They listen to you, and responed immediately, and the level of “care” never falters. Dr Waldrop from the Glendale office, …

  83. The care here is very good but contact and response is in the toilet. It takes 4 to 5 calls to the office for someone to pick up. Don’t bother leaving a message as no one responds. When you are in pain, this is the ultimate frustration …

  84. I had my 1st appointment with Dr. Chang and was immediately put at ease. He was both friendly and professional and another of my surgeons that I’ve been with for a number of years also told me that Dr. Chang is one of the most experienced surgeons as well.

  85. Sonoran Spine has been a major blessing in living with arthritis in my neck. They are kind and effective at treating pain. I am very grateful I found this place. From Dr. Mosallaie, his PA and NP and all the staff are wonderful. I highly recommend this office.

  86. Dr. Chang improved my quality of life drastically after performing a very challenging spinal surgery. I have had a traumatic experience with surgeries so I was incredibly anxious . Dr. Chang answered all my questions, provided me with …

  87. Amy spent lots of time gathering the necessary information from me and explaining my diagnosis and treatment plan. She did not rush anything, even though we ran way past my scheduled 1 hour appointment. Her assistant was also very helpful and knowledgable.

  88. Amy was great to work with. She asked questions in order to evaluate me on the first visit and really listened to the answers. She also took note of additional information I offered. She was very pleasant and professional, and explained all …

  89. Sonoran Spine has always treated me with respect and honesty! From the beginning it was “where are you hurting and when did it start”. The staff is very attentive and caring and puts you at ease because they truly want to help.

  90. I was recommended by my PT to see Dr. Chang. I was told I had to see his PA before I could see him. The PA prescribed me minor pain killers and then scheduled an appointment a month out. The X-ray tech was “out” that day so they didn’t do …

  91. Dr Datta is just the best spine doctor and surgeon!!! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my injury/back issues. Bryce is Dr Datta’s PA and they both truly care so much about their patients. They will work together to make sure you have the …

  92. Dr Chang and his team are very professional and take excellent care of you throughout the whole surgery process. They are all kind, patient, knowledgeable and concerned about your health.

  93. Finally saw someone who listened to all my physical problems & put them together for tests & consultation. After numerous doctors & specialists, I finally feel like I’m moving ahead.

  94. I have been to three different pain specialists, and for me (severe osteoarthritis in spine and joints), Dr. Farhad Mosallaie has been the best for injections. He asks the right questions and seems to find just the right spot for the injections, the effects of which last longer than I have exprrienced before.

  95. My mother’s providers, Dr. Mosallaie and Kurt Angus Smalls-Walker are very good. She has had her doctor for many yrs and NP for as long as he’s been there are really trusts him. The office staff both front and back are always welcoming and …

  96. Very pleased with Sonoran Spine’s care & expertise in treating my spine problems. Surgery and recovery going as I was told it would be. I’m not totally back to normal, but am very optimistic that I soon will be.

  97. After my bi-level lumbar fusion under Dr Datta’s care, I have my life back. It’s like a miracle for me. My pain is gone! Bryce and Becca completed my team and were there for me throughout. My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner.

  98. I was quite scared about the procedure but everyone from the billing lady, to the nurses, aids and Drs were great. Very professional, efficient and caring. I don’t think you could ask for more.

  99. Everyone at the facility was very thoughtful, caring, and helpful!
    Dr. Young did a great job on my back surgery!
    Alyssa was nothing less than marvelous on my after care!

  100. I have been going to SS-Tempe for over a decade. One thing I love to see are all the same employees still there and also adding new peeps too. Professional and best doctors in this country. Good hands for spinal issues with my doctor Dr Chang and team. Thank you all

  101. Everyone was very helpful. The PA was super good listening to everything my husband said. The girl before him was super good and he is very pleased with everyone there. Would recommend them

  105. Dr Crowder’s technique and expertise are flawless. His physician associate Alyssa knows her stuff and she is very compassionate and has a great sense of humor. Their 3 facilities that I have been to are modern and generally top notch, …

  109. Dr Angus spent time and LISTENED to me. I was told by another spinal dr that there was nothing that could be done for my back pain and I knew that had to be wrong. I was fit right in for the treatment Dr Angus recommended and my pain was …

  110. I think the best way to describe my experience is to say that when I first went to Sonoran spine in August my lower back pain was between a 6 and an eight. After treatment that I finished last week it is now between 0 and 2. That speaks …

  111. I saw Dr Chang so I can only comment on him….AAA+.
    His evaluation and treatment plan were well thought out and he did not immediately recommend surgery. Always a good sign with surgeons. …
