My life has been wretched with pollen allergies for years, I am literally stopped up non-stop. I…read morehave been through allergy shots and it was a complete pain in the ass from the testing to getting the shots once or twice a week. I came here because it was just getting to be too much for any one person to bear (for me and those close to me), my head was pounding, I was itchy mess, and I felt like a huge bucket of snot ready to explode at any time. I came in and I was expecting the worst, I was greeted with just the opposite. The staff is extremely helpful and efficient, Dr. Sakal was direct and also cared about having a good patient outcome. I was tested for my allergies, then 15 minutes later the Doctor came in and read my skin reactions, 10 minutes later I was in his office going over the results, I was then given a nose spray that changed my life, and I am all signed up for shots. I now await the magic immune therapy solution to start again. I don't know why I waited so long to go back to the allergist, #life changing!!!!

He gives you lots of knowledge for you to make the best decision based on your situation. I highly recommend Dr. Friedman. The office is conveniently located for me and is always clean. The staff is very friendly. In fact, Christine greets you at the door as if she is welcoming in family to her home.

Some may take this as rude, but I found it reassuring. He is not like most doctors who treat the symptom instead of the cause. He actually gave me cheaper, easier ideas to treat my allergies instead of suggesting I get shots (I guess my allergies are not as bad as some). And it worked. This guy and this business in general are not out to make as much money as possible. They want to help people and are passionate not only about their field of expertise, but about lifestyle choices and people optimizing their health. I can't say enough about this place, and especially about Dr. Friedman.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at Sonoran ENTA was disappointing from beginning…read moreto end. The front desk set the tone. The check-in process felt cold and impersonal, and I did not feel welcomed as a new patient. My appointment with the audiologist, however, was excellent. He was professional, personable, took time to ask thoughtful questions, explained what he was seeing during the examination, and made me feel comfortable throughout the hearing evaluation. Based on my testing, I have only slight bilateral hearing loss, which was reassuring. Unfortunately, my interaction with Dr. Kang could not have been more different. He entered the room, told me there is no cure for tinnitus, suggested masking the sound with something like a sound pillow, mentioned that hearing aids might help, asked if I had any questions, and left. The entire interaction lasted only a few minutes. There was no meaningful discussion about my symptoms, possible contributing factors, medications, lifestyle considerations, additional diagnostic work-up, treatment options beyond masking, or what to expect moving forward. I left feeling like I had received little more than a generic script. The biggest surprise came at checkout. I was billed for a comprehensive audiology evaluation and a Level 4 new patient office visit. When I asked the front desk to explain why the physician visit was billed at that level, no one could provide a clear explanation beyond saying that I had seen two providers. I later spoke with the practice administrator hoping for clarification. Rather than addressing my concerns about whether the billing accurately reflected the brief physician encounter, I was simply told that the billing was "allowed." That response completely missed the point. My concern was never whether something was technically permissible--it was whether the services I received justified the level of billing. Patients deserve transparency, thoughtful care, and confidence that they are being billed appropriately for the services they actually receive. Sadly, I left with none of those. The audiologist deserves five stars for his professionalism. My overall experience with the physician encounter and the practice's handling of my concerns, however, leaves me unable to recommend this office.

We were able to schedule an exam a week or two later. No problems. My office experience was wonderful with the exception of a long wait to have the testing performed. My appointment was for 8:00, I immediately filled out all the paperwork, but waited to get in until about 8:45. Otherwise, everyone was very pleasant, the test was thorough and I was given a nice printout of the results. The doctor spent plenty of time with me afterwards explaining the results and what my options were. Overall, very happy with them and I will likely be back next year for another exam.

I had been a client of Dr. Jenkins there for a long time and they treated me like I had never been there before and had to complete all new paperwork. After going through all of that redundant bureaucracy, they said it would be about a 4 hour wait! There were 5 people there and most of the time they spend 15 minutes or less each. Today, I twisted my back and went in again. They told me I had to fill out all new paperwork again and would every 6 months and they really didn't have time to do that before their lunch break which was about a half hour away. I was the only client in the waiting area. I checked with the Arizona Chiropractic board and there is no requirement to take new paperwork every 6 months. They only say chiropractors must maintain current information. Other doctors only ask you if anything has changed and to update if there is new information. As I indicated, there appears to have been a new management change a year or so ago and all new doctors. Now it appears to have happened again...at least I do not recognize any of the names on their website. The last doctor I went to there a few months ago is not listed at all. I don't know if any of the current doctors are any good because I have not been able to "walk-in" (which is their claim to fame) and see one without getting trapped in the red tape and indifference.

After my spinal fusion I was nervous to see a chiropractor, but I knew I really needed it and I'm so glad I went to Back Alley! * In the first visit, Dr. Don takes you to a separate private room to discuss your issues and needs without other clients overhearing. As a woman, I tend to be nervous to be alone in rooms with men I don't know, but Dr. Don was SO professional, and he left the door open as if he sensed my nervousness. He really hears you out and doesn't rush you - a rarity in the medical world * He works FAST and tells you what he's doing before/while he does it. He even tells you WHY he's doing what he's doing, which is cool for anyone interested in physiology. * Dr. Don chats with you and actually remembers the things you tell him. You can tell he's invested in his patients' lives and knows them well. * The place is clean and the receptionists are friendly. I thought the set-up was a little wonky at first, since it's one big open room with the chiropractic tables and I'm used to being in private rooms. I actually like and prefer this set-up. Something about it feels friendly. * Wait time is never too long, and you get in and out fairly quickly, even without an appointment.

The two chiropractors that work here are simply amazing. I have been seeing Dr. Don for about 20…read moreyears and he truly knows how to get one back on track. Not to mention, his bedside manner is so friendly. If I don't come in for months on end, he still remembers me in a very personable way. He is so sweet and so is the co-owner/doctor... (Dr. Shipley) who is also amazing. Once I was walking and I slipped off the curb. The next day my back was totally out to where I could barely walk. Dr. Don was on vacation, so Dr. Shipley saw me and did something I never had done before. The result: I was totally fixed. So to sum up, both of these guys would be a good choice if you're needing some adjustment. Finally, one last note, they did move their office from near Costco on the north side of town, to the Oro Valley location. Since they moved in there, they do have an adjustment and that is shared with about eight other people. At first I didn't care for this, but since they are the only two in town that can get me back on track and in shape, I have adjusted to it :-).
