In the crudest sense, surgeons give a second life to their patients. And I want everyone to know that Dr. Robert Waldrop, MD and his PA Matthew Duske are truly the personification of God. They gave me a second lease on life. You see my life was taken away from me for about 10 months because of my L-4, and L-5 being crushed due to my spinal stenosis. I couldn't walk and truthfully thought my life was coming to an end! Because the pain shooting down my legs was more then excruciating and I was having trouble dealing with it. Because when your taking morphine, Vicodin, and the strongest Anti-inflammatories at the same time and they aren't working, it's easy for your mind to start thinking about the end. But then God Blessed me by putting Dr. Waldrop and his PA Matthew Duske in my life. They are the most compassionate and motivating medical team I have ever meet in my life. I had to wait several months for my surgery and honestly I was having trouble dealing with the wait, but Dr Waldrop and Matthew with their heartfelt compassion and professionalism coached me through my horrific and hideous time waiting for my surgery. And now I want everyone to know that with God using Dr. Waldrop and Matthew I am totally Pain free after my surgery. It's absolutely a miracle and I have a new life and I'm so excited I just can't hide it and I want everyone to know that if your dealing with any kind of Spinal pain, please call Dr. Robert Waldrop at Sonoran Spine and receive your miracle too.

They never pressured me to have the surgery but told me to think about wether I thought it was the right thing for me and then decide where I wanted to go. The choice was easy.

I guess you can call me paranoid. I must have searched and read everything there was to read about…read moreshoulder ortho's all over Arizona. My situation was different than most I suspect, because not only did my left shoulder have a torn labrum, but it was a result of a violent seizure years ago that causes a full dislocation which causes more complications making a surgery more difficult. I had already had 1 failed bankart repair for my left shoulder done in CA 2 years ago. Now that I moved to Scottsdale, I needed to get it fixed and get myself back to normal, which for me, means back to heavy weights at the gym. I first met Dr. E in April of this year, (whom I was referred to by a major pain clinic in Scottsdale. I noticed he was right to the point, more technical than emotional - still very caring. In my 37 years I've seen all kinds of Dr's, and so any misgivings others have on here about his bedside manner, (which was good enough), I just can't relate. But I'll tell you, I'd much prefer a technical no nonsense pro, with the confidence / experience to take on a surgery like this, as I discovered other orthos here in Scottsdale, will not. I actually was referred to 2 different doctors prior to being referred to Dr. E. Interestingly enough. The first Ortho I found off yelp here in Scottsdale ( has 18 or so reviews) told me he didn't feel comfortable doing the surgery, and get this - shoulders were his specialty. He actually said I should return to CA to have the original operating doc redo the procedure. That was not practical for me. Of course, I take nothing away from that doctor, but clearly I had a complicated situation in my shoulder and he didn't feel comfortable after it already had one failed previous bankart repair. So, in a way, he saved me the risk of another failed surgery. The second option was a pain Dr who suggested shots in each shoulder which cost me $2k and did nothing at all. That pain Dr. who administered the injections recommended Dr E after we decided the injections didn't work. He gave Dr. E raving reviews with specifics for why he believed Dr. E was the way to go hands down, and best in the valley. So I made an appt, and was able to get in quickly which I later learned is common. So nice to be able to have good access to Dr. E. Each time I went to his office pre / post op, I rarely ever waited long, and I personally appreciate that. In my 1st visit he knew instantly I needed surgery. He also discovered something that BOTH previous orthos didn't- which was that my bicep tendon was disconnected and needed to be reattached. 1 week after my 1st visit, surgery was scheduled for the week after, (May 1st 2017) at which time he fixed a SLAP tear and a bicep tendonesis. Post op, Dr E said the op was a success and I'll tell you, in 6 weeks, it actually felt for the first time, connected to my body. I'd forgotten what that felt like and that's when I knew, it was working, getting a little better each day. I was amazed. So grateful. But understanding how much it needs to be babied for six months wasn't something I fully contemplated. As such, I came to understand the shoulder is such a mobile joint that its quite common for patients to think they have re-injured it doing things they didn't think would be a big deal. Post op, during the 2nd month, and 4th month out, I thought for sure I re-injured it holding a plate of food, and again months later when I tripped and fell. I was freaked out, scared that Id lose all the progress I'd made, so each time, I made an appt. with Dr. E to get an MRI. Funny thing is, he was able to determine from moving my shoulder and doing various physical tests, whether or not an MRI was needed, or if I should just give it more time to heal, as it could be tendonisis, bursitis or scar tissue. I was surprised to hear him validate that the recent clicking and popping from the new suspected re-injury was likely from newly formed scar tissue. I thought for sure it was something disconnected or loose. I actually met with him this morning (9/28/17 to see if he thought I had re-injured it, and he didn't think from the tests he did, that it was damaged or bad enough to need an MRI, but did suggest that taking 2 months off from PT (which he said I did enough of) and seeing if it felt better, was the best solution. Keep in mind, I was willing to pay for an MRI. But he suggested to give it two months, confirming a genuine bedside manner that really counts, which was saving me money and affirming that my own thoughts are my own worst enemy. Btw - in no small measure of appreciation, I can't write this and not mention his super smart and super cool staff. They go beyond. Amanda,Tracy, Jess and Pam, (in no order) are so accommodating, patient and just kind, in spite of being so busy! They're an amazing team and I'm so glad they're in AZ.

I ruined everything that the doctor did and re-herniated the same three discs. Here we are 11 years later and I have additional problems, including nerve damage because I waited. Doc is waiting on my MRI'S to be completed and then we'll see what our next move is. My husband had fusion done and has a titanium box due to his spine becoming detached from his tailbone. He had that at a very young age and six weeks later he was hanging Christmas lights and playing golf. Dr. Dohring is a genius and he is so very well respected. I'm disappointed to see that their reviews have dropped due to mainly front staff, wait times are not getting in when certain individuals want to. That should not lower the doctor's reviews based off of that, because he is a superb and extraordinary surgeon. One of the top in the Country. We researched Dr. Dohring years ago as we would never choose just anyone. We are so grateful and thankful for this man. He not only is the best at his craft but he has the best beside manner, he's kind, thorough and takes his time with each and every patient. He never rushes surgery and does not push medications and shots. He cares and he is truly a genuine soul. Look no further because we did the homework for you and he will change your life.
