Both him and the PAs that I have seen have been incredibly kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and thorough with my care. They have taken the time to answer my questions and respond promptly and in a timely manner when I have called and left voicemails for their front office staff and medical assistants. Dr. Wang did a Microdistectomy for me as well and was an incredible surgeon. The care here is top of the line and all of the surgeons in the practice come highly recommended.

I have been spending a lot of time here since I discovered that I have spinal stenosis. My journey…read morestarted a year ago when I started having sciatic pain in my legs. I didn't know what it was at the time or how to deal with the pain. My primary doctor recommended I see a spine specialist and begin physical therapy. I had heard about DISC on our local sports radio and from a friend that had been here before. Desert Institute for Spine Care is the leader in minimally invasive spinal surgeries. Everyone has been nice so far and informative about my situation and what to expect. My journey is still at the beginning for me. I am starting out with the least invasive options for myself like physical therapy and spinal injections to help manage my pain. So far I am seeing some moderate success with these options and able to enjoy life with minimal pain. Everyone's journey and experience is different. I am just thankful I have somewhere to go if things get worse for me.

I was referred to DISC by my pain management clinic for chronic lower back pain that was causing…read moreextreme sciatic pain. I had tried everything to get relief except for surgery at that point. I have never had any type of surgery or even an IV before so I was extremely scared and hesitant of even the thought of needing surgery.  From the moment I met Dr. Field, he made me feel at ease and I knew I was in the right hands. The day of surgery, as expected, I was extremely nervous and in a lot of pain. Dr. Field and the entire staff at the SurgeCenter was so kind, helpful, patient, professional, organized and understanding. They made sure I was comfortable and that I knew what was going on every step of the way. Everything about this experience and this team of people was beyond my best expectations. They made something that I expected to be such a horrible situation such an easy and positive experience.  Even my sister in law who was my ride and waiting for me in the waiting room had a great experience with them. Dr. Field came out and gave her a full in detail run down of how I was doing and Gus at the check-in helped her find some snacks while she was hungry and waiting.  I am now 3 weeks post op, healed up and have ZERO pain.  I am so impressed with this facility and thankful that I was referred to DISC. Thank you so much for taking me out of pain and giving me my life back Dr. Field and team! I am forever grateful for you!

I had a surgery on my spine, specifically the lumbar area, with Dr. Justin Field a few years ago…read more My experience with him was really bad; during the surgery, he damaged a nerve in the left side of my leg. When I woke up from the surgery, I was in extreme pain day and night, something I had never experienced before the surgery. I kept seeing the doctor for follow-ups after the surgery, and he never gave me an explanation about my symptoms and the extreme pain I was suffering. He would only mention that the X-rays showed everything was fine. To this day, my sciatic nerve pain is strong, I can't feel the front of my leg, and it feels numb all the time. I can honestly say that the surgery didn't help me at all; I'm worse than before I decided to have surgery with this doctor.

In December of 2022, I was looking for a doctor willing and able, to do spinal revision surgery…read morefrom T-10 to sacrum. I had contacted a few other doctors, but they were either unwilling or unable to help me, but then I found Dr. Rappaport. When I was reading his reviews, one of them said he was the "fixer"! And he is! Dr. Rappaport is the best doctor I've ever had. He takes a minute to get used to, I think maybe he's a little OCD or something, or maybe he's just so brilliant everyone else is just trying to keep up. Besides knowing his stuff, his patients come first, no matter what. The morning of my surgery he was there early checking in on me, conversing with the surgical staff, unlike my first surgeon who was 1 1/2 hrs. late for my surgery, and spoke to me for maybe 30 seconds prior to surgery. He came into my hospital room every morning the four days post surgery I was there. My recovery was so much quicker than my first surgery. Dr. Rappaport is a down to earth guy who genuinely cares about his patients and their long-term outcome. He's absolutely one of the most ethical, honest doctors I've ever met, and I am so grateful to have found him. I just hope he doesn't retire in case I need neck surgery, lol.

In January of 2013 I started having low back pain. Flash forward through multiple MRIs, injections,…read morephysical therapists, consultants, medications, alternative therapies, NINE physicians that couldn't figure out what was wrong with me and three painful years of 'you're just going to have to manage'. It got to the point where I could not walk down the street, could not sit through dinner... I ended up at Dr Rappaport's office through some crazy referral. Physician #10. Could HE figure this out? The MRIs were clean. There was nothing obvious to point to. He said right away 'I know exactly what this is. It's your SI joint. It's unstable. It's a case of hyper mobility in the joint. We need to fuse it.' Of course I was skeptical. Three years of this pain that has derailed my life. I scheduled the surgery and immediately upon wakening the incessant, nagging, horrible pain was gone. It was so strange. And so beautiful. The subsequent tissue torture I had done trying to remain functional was still an issue, but the core problem was FIXED! I am walking. I can sit with my family through dinner. I can see a movie. I tear up still, three years later, with gratitude for having found this office and this surgeon. His open mind. To not think that the answer HAD to be in the MRI. To believe there was an issue without MRI indication. To fix it. THANK YOU. I later referred Dr Rappaport to my friend with a crushed disc in his neck. Dr R did surgery on him. My friend gushes with gratitude to have his life back every time I see him. An open mind goes a long way in the medical field. It's hard to find a professional that will look at YOU and not just your images. He saved my life. He gave me back my life.

This introperative incident was not in my surgical record not did Dr. Yeung inform me of what occured until two weeks after surgery when no repair was possible. It is state law a physician record the facts-not omit them. I have a recording of Dr. Yeung telling my husband and i what really occured. By not disclosing this catostrophic event my life consists of carrying catheters, disposable undergarments, change of clothes and enema bag. This occured in 2023 and it sickens me daily how I must live. The mental and emotion strain have been tremendous as I also lost all vaginal sensation for marital relations. The office motto "ENJOY LIFE AGAIN" will never occur for me. I now endure accidents, infections and carrying medical supplies. I implore you to go elsewhere!!

No problem, I'm flexible to a point understanding we are all managing multiple priorities. However, I was kept in an exam room for over 1.5 hours. As the time passed I became more and more agitated by the lack of consideration, respect, or common decency by Dr. Shruti Badhwar to make an appearance and I walked out. Any person with any amount of concern of a patient would have attempted to follow up and make amends...not the case. I strongly encourage anyone considering Abrazo Brain & Spine and specifically Badhwar to look elsewhere. It is clear the Abrazo's Patient Rights "You have the right to considerate and respectful care" is bullshit and most likely translates to substandard healthcare.
