⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

I’ve been a law enforcement officer for over 20 years. I first started having back issues 5 years into my career. Slowly, my back/disk issues got so severe, I had to do something…Somehow, I came across Dr. Baig’s name and went in for a consultation...Dr. Baig displayed a calm, confident and positive demeanor; the best I’ve ever experienced from any doctor.  Since then, I can enjoy jogging without back pain… I get right up and tackle the day right away. I am able to go to the gym and be pain-free now... truly remarkable, and the list can go on and on...Thank you to Dr.Baig and his team; they made me pain-free and I can go enjoy life again!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

"This is the 2nd surgery I’ve had with Dr. Baig and the care that I’ve received is top tier. From pre-op to post-op him and his team have been fabulous. Before surgery, I was unable to walk without having excruciating pain. After surgery, I am able to walk pain free. Dr. Baig and Dr. Justin really gave me my life back. 10 stars - strongly recommend."

Dee Turner

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

"I saw 3 surgeons before choosing Dr Baig. He was so thorough in his examination and explained many things that no other doctor brought up. Like the difficulty of and importance of keeping the wound clean and protected from contamination. Infection in a spinal wound could be really serious."

Lou Delorie

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

"Dr. Baig, Justin and the entire team were wonderful. I feel 10 years younger following my procedure and am back to full activity. They truly saved my retirement. If you have been told that you need a decompression and fusion you absolutely owe it to yourself and family to check out the endoscopic decompression. Go see them; you will be glad you did."​

Trea Battisti

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

"I am so happy that I found this place. Everyone I dealt with was so friendly & helpful, including Justin who did a great job in explaining the damage and the options to fix it. Dr. Baig was unpretentious, sincere, and did a fantastic job doing the endoscopic spine surgery. I am finally pain free!!!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

"I was very close to being paralyzed from the neck down, Dr. Baig saw me, and had me in surgery in a few days. Since then I have my arm’s, and legs back! I’m 7 months out, and feeling much better. Dr. Biag’s staff are very friendly, and professional also extremely helpful. I highly recommend them! They saved me from having a extremely difficult life."

Yancy Dempsey

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

"I had severe pain in my left leg that left me laid up at the house for a month. My wife and I made the 12 hour drive to see Dr. Baig and his team. We were treated better than I have ever been and any medical facility. The Dr. and his team knew what they were doing and were very professional during the whole process. After the procedure we got back in the vehicle and drove back home and I was working 2 days later. Top notch bunch at this place."

N. Hunter

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

"Outstanding Surgeon - After years of back pain I was referred by my internist to Dr. Baig. He performed an ALIF with posterior, L5-S1, fusion surgery on my back. Dr. Baig doesn’t waste time sugar-coating the surgery but tells it like it is. He thoroughly explained the procedure prior to surgery and answered all my questions. He chose to do the least invasive surgery to correct my back issues. After surgery I no longer experienced the old nagging, daily pain in my back and legs. I highly recommend Dr Baig. I feel so fortunate and grateful to have had him for my surgeon."

Jerry M

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

"First let me say I wish I had met Dr Baig years ago. I’ve had chronic lower back pain and sciatica down my left leg off and on for years. The older I got it became more frequent and symptoms lingered for weeks instead of days. I suffered for almost a month, after injections twice, I received no relief... Dr Baig was very precise as what I needed to have done and was positive that it would give me long term relief. Dr Baig and his staff are outstanding and show genuine care about your health and are extremely willing to answer any questions and concerns you might have. Thanks Dr Baig"

"Dr Baig is a very confident doctor, which is what you want! I had no reservations at all with him doing not only one but two surgeries. One lower back and one a cervical discectomy fusion. I trust him to the fullest!!! Also he is so sweet and caring, along with his entire staff. And a special mention to Justin also, what a nice small scar that's left."

"My partner has hereditary DDD and a history of previous spine surgeries, including successful cervical ADR and failed L4/5 DIAM. We are... experienced. Dr. Baig has been the most thorough, knowledgeable, straight-forward neurosurgeon we have known. He put no limits on his time to cover all our concerns and questions in a clear and straight-forward manner. Caring, skilled and professional, one of the very best."

"Dr. Baig and his staff are amazing. His expertise as a surgeon had me walking, working and enjoying life after surgery 11 years ago! Recently, after a vehicle accident, I came down to see him. The office staff was efficient, friendly and helpful. They arranged the MRI and follow-up visit quickly since I live out of town. Although I did see the PA's, Dr. Baig made sure everything went smoothly. I travel 440 miles to see this awesome surgeon and the staff treats me like family! Thank you!"

"Dr. Baig is exceptional surgeon. My experience from the moment I met his staff through the surgery and post care was beyond my expectations. Dr. Baig gave me my life back. Many thanks to him and his staff."

"Doctor Baig dramatically improved the quality of life for my dad Chuck. His neck hasn’t been straight his whole life. He was struggling with pain and had bad balance. Dr Baig took the time to meet with us and answer our questions. Then he did a fantastic job operating on him. My dad is 85 so we were very worried about spinal surgery. I’m so glad we found this clinic and Dr Baig!"

Back pain can often be a result of an accident, injury, or congenital conditions such as scoliosis.  Certain forms of back pain can be a result of the natural aging process, including conditions such as disc protrusion and spinal stenosis.

Today, advancements in imaging, and non surgical techniques have led to more treatment options than ever before, allowing us to return our patients the life they once knew…usually without the need for invasive spine surgery.

Typically, back surgeons in Phoenix offer one type of help, even though there are many others available. When you work with Dr. Baig at the Desert Spine and Scoliosis Center, you can rest assured that everything is on the table when it comes to potential treatments that are accepted by the medical world.
