You deserve the red carpet treatment. Sonoran Spine provides uncompromising excellence in quality and service to each of our patients. We appreciate you trusting us with your spine care and will reflect this in our level of service.
Your concerns will be fully addressed. We recognize that our patients travel to visit us from all over the southwest, and in some cases, from across the country. We are committed to taking the time necessary in order to be certain that every patient leaving our office has had all of his or her questions addressed.
You decide the course of treatment. We believe every patient should be given the tools and resources available in order to make the treatment decision that is right for him/her. Our role is to offer treatment options and advice. The decision is always yours.
We welcome a challenge. Many of our patients have very difficult spine problems and have often tried several different types of treatments. Many have had multiple surgeries yet are still in pain. We are a major referral center for the most complex spinal disorders. We welcome the challenge.
Sonoran Spine participates in the spine surgery fellowship match, offering the opportunity for tertiary spinal deformity, spinal reconstructive and degenerative surgery. The fellows will function as an integral part of the spine surgery team with responsibilities for work up, decision making, participation in surgery, follow up care after surgery, and spinal research.
The clinical fellow will have the opportunity to have a heavily weighted experience in adult and pediatric deformity with extensive exposure to reconstructive surgery for deformity. A great deal of time will be spent learning the latest techniques in the care and treatment of patients with spinal deformity under the close supervision and mentorship ofDrs. Michael Chang and Dennis Crandall.
There is equal opportunity for exposure to a wider spectrum of clinical cases involving some deformity and more exposure to degenerative cases. The fellow will manage patients with all types of degenerative conditions, tumors, infection, trauma and congenital problems affecting all levels of the spine. The fellow will receive the same excellent training using both open and minimally invasive techniques to manage the patient population under all our surgeons includingDrs. Jason Datta, Terrence Crowder and Lyle Young.

Our interest in patients with spinal disorders and spinal deformity does not end with successful treatment. The Sonoran Spine Research and Education Foundation (SSREF) has established a scholarship fund to assist students who are Arizona residents and have undergone surgery for or overcome a spinal deformity and want to go to college at Arizona State University, University of Arizona, or Northern Arizona University. The scholarship is awarded based on how the spinal deformity has impacted the applicants life, how the student has been able to live a productive and functional life in spite of the deformity, GPA, and demonstrated volunteer/community service.
