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 called Blue Shield and they told me Dr Field gets paid first by Medicare and then by them. It's automatic !!!! So then I get a call from "Amanda" in their Billing Department and she says they refunded the $158.83 . That was Tuesday, 1/21/25 . As of today, there is no refund in my Credit Card statement. So now they're not only incompetent, they lie !!!!!!! Field is supposed to be a good doctor. Fine, but they are a lot more "Good Doctors" that have office staff who can find their butt with both hands in the dark !!! I won't go back because who knows what more charges they'll extort from me !!

After 2 years of PT, acupuncture, massage therapy and chiropractic procedures to no avail, I reluctantly chose surgery.

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.

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.
