Desert Spine, Sport & Joint Center

Horrible place to go to. First time going here was back in 2022 made my appointment everything was going great until the doctor had came in the room. I have scoliosis and the way to get examined is pretty uncomfortable (I do have to bend over for the doctor to see how my spine is) Instead of saying" okay this is what I'm going to have you do is bend over so I can check your spine" he just says " bend over" it made me really uncomfortable and I did not do it, once he seen I did not do it he proceeded to bend me over physically and uncomfortably. This all happened as I was still under age. I never made an appointment after that to go back. A few years past, I have a new doctor (2025). I bring up my back pain and I got referred to the same doctor at first I was thinking no I don't want to go

I had the best successful surgery on my knee and I’m 23 years old with a knee replacement. I’m super grateful for Dr.Ahmed I feel so much better can be able to work and to my fun activities! Thank you Dr. Ahmed for this successful surgery.

I had the same experience as many posters here: unprofessional with no follow-up. They called late Friday from a 760 number (which I'm not going to pick up) but didn't leave a message. I called back Monday: no receptionist, left a message. They called me back, acted like they didn't know who I was, and said the doctor would have to approve my case and they would call me back. That was a week ago: no call back. I expect my broken toe wasn't going to make them as much money as some poor fool's spine surgery (from Forbes: "over 50 percent of lumbar spine surgeries are deemed unnecessary.")

I was referred to this place through my insurance. I needed a Laminectomy. I was scared because it was my first ever major surgery. The chronic pain was too much and I was done taking narcotic medication. The staff is kind and professional. The surgery center is very clean and comfortable. Sohail Ahmad is direct and smart. I was very excited after our first visit because he took a lot stress away since he knew he could help. The Laminectomy went well. It was on 1/26/23. Today is March 31, 2023 and I'm doing great. I think I am lucky to feel this well because I didn't expect my back to heal this quickly. Thank you for fixing me up. I am very fortunate to have had this surgery and am grateful that I will live without stabbing pains for hopefully a couple of years by taking care of myself. T

After reading the negative comment from a prior patient, I felt the need to leave a true and correct review. Dr Ahmed is laid back and professional, never once did I feel he was rude. He’s not your typical Dr, he’s very straight forward and laid back. I had my shoulder worked and I’m still healing, he had me in and out of surgery fast. I would definitely recommend anyone to his practice. I’m very confident in him. His staff are professional and nice. With that being said, this is who is rude. Every time I go in, I always see that one patient, who’s rude and disrespectful. Today I was just in and they young girl who’s the receptionist told the patient you have a 20$ copay, he’s replied back with a rude attitude yea ok, no I don’t. She pointed it out to him on the paper work and he still wa
