I am no longer a patient. The following review is why i changed medical providers…read more....... Attention new patients: when they say you will not be able to see any other doctor than the one you are originally assigned to, they mean NO matter what. This policy is fine, but they don't even cover each other for vacations or other absences! I understand not allowing patients to just see other doctors as a matter of convenience but i am having trouble walking!! My pain is terrible..... I was instructed to go to the ER, which we all know is NOT the answer because I am not dying. That is what an ER is for. Broken, bleeding or dying. An Orthopedic office is for non emergency issues, like this. Here's what happened...... I've been on the cancellation list for a few weeks. I call on occasion to find out if there's been one, just in case. I always ask if it's okay to call back. The staff is super pleasant. But when they told me this morning that my doc is out of town for the next week+, I asked for an exception because I am in genuine and growing pain. I cannot sleep. Which means I'm fatigued. I have multiple sclerosis and that's a life changer for me. I was even OK with continuing to call next week hoping to get a cancellation but knowing that I have no choice but to live like this for the next week+ because of a "rule" is really upsetting. So yes I believe the policy means more to these people than patient care. I'll be changing my orthopedist which is a bummer because I really like Dr Gonsalvez. His first injections worked well. Thing is, my issue came back with a vengeance and in his absence he has no back up. I think I'd rather go to an office where the doctors work together as a team.

Dr Hardy is/was nice to me. Her nurse practitioner was horrid. He did a number of passive…read moreaggressive things to me that I first thought were mistakes. Did not get walker until 5 hours before surgery. Did not send script in for anti biotic for teeth cleaning after surgery. He said how was he to know I was to my teeth cleaned. I had to gag down 4 anti biotic horse pills while laying back in dentist chair. When I asked him for different pain pills he ordered 8(eight) pills one every six hours for 7 days. He said he'd send this script to Costco but after 8 hours found out he sent it to Walgreens. The reason he these things was because I cursed. He said I used profanity. When my knee was killing me I spoke colorfully about the pain. Never directed at anyone!!!! He also said I should have called the office about only getting 8 pills which I did not do because I was embarrassed to be in pain.

In particular, Dr. Joseph Baker is totally a perfectionist and takes on cases that he feels can give the best result, if it is at all possible. He told me his prognosis in a very real and professional manner. He showed me my xrays and explained his findings. I just finished an appointment post-surgery by 7 months. It was successful! The surgery was extensive and he has followed me every step of the way. I truly felt his professional interest in my case and he explained my progress at every appointment. In my view, he is the best foot surgeon in Tucson. I highly recommend Sonoran Foot and Ankle and Dr. Baker. 6 Stars if I could give them!

My wife had shoulder surgery recommended to her by a shoulder…read moreOrhopoedic Dr. She wanted to get a second opinion and was led to Dr. Chafik through her friend. Let me say that this man appears to be a UNICORN in the world of medicine. His reading of the MRI, that she got through the other Dr, was in stark contrast to what the other Dr. had said which was, "You need surgery." We are so grateful to have been introduced to him. She will not be having surgery and after asking him about PT, he told her it was not necessary and that she could go out and play tennis (slowly) and just listen to her body. His honesty and candor were so refreshing in the field of medicine. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Shoulder issues started late Friday evening with, of course, no medical help available…read more My shoulder just quit working, with a LOT of pain with which I had to go through the weekend. Tylenol, ice packs, Aspercream - nothing helped. By Monday morning, I had had little sleep for 3 nights with a constant throbbing in my shoulder. I call SW Shoulder Elbow and Hand Center and they were able to get me into a doctor that morning. I saw Dr Sameer Jain at the north Oracle office. He did a bunch of X-rays and discovered that my issue was not as dire as thought. After an injection in my shoulder, he sent me on my way with a follow up in 2 months to ensure the problem had resolved itself. I'm grateful to Dr Jain and the wonderful, thoughtful staff at this facility.

Most importantly he delivers results and I am so grateful to him for solving my foot problem. Highly recommended!

Dr. Petrow replaced my right hip using the MAKO robotic procedure in December 2022. I was and am…read morevery pleased with the results. I was up and walking around immediately after surgery and started physical therapy 2 days later. The physical therapist commented that I was walking very well (with a walker) considering I'd had surgery just 2 days earlier. Post surgery I took recommended doses of OTC painkillers the first night and day and felt no pain. I did not need any painkillers after that. I found Dr. Petrow easy to talk with. He provided clear explanations of what the surgery entailed. Unlike some other reviewers I did not find him to be arrogant or obnoxious. The office is well run and efficient.

He said I obviously needed a knee replacement. He asked me how I was doing with the knee. When I…read morestarted to tell him about the knee pain, he cut me off rudely and told me he knew all about that because he had been a surgeon for so long. "I know all about that; it's what I do; you don't have to tell me about it." Then he started to talk to me about how awesome he was. A short time later, he asked me about my hip replacement. I have never had a hip replacement. He brushed that off real quick, you know because he is so awesome. Very quickly, he told me he could not do the surgery because my BMI was too high and told me to come back when I lost weight. He is rude and caustic. Maybe he is a good surgeon, but I am betting it's hard to get past his personality and god complex to get to the surgery part.
