“Torn rotator cuff, left shoulder. Referred to physical therapy with Adam Cleaver, who treated me very well. After 2 months of physical therapy, my pain was reduced to the extent that I felt able to carry on with all my activities. Thank you, Dr. Miao, and Adam Cleaver.”

“Dr. Tingey seems to be very well versed in orthopaedic medicine. He is very forthcoming and does not appear to be afraid of answering patients questions about their care. His calm demeanor inspires confidence in his abilities. And his staff appear to be very confident as well. We have never had a bad experience with a Dr. Tingey visit, including not having to wait along amount of time to get to see him, both in making reservations and waiting in the room. Thank you Dr. Tingey for choosing to be an orthopaedic surgeon!”

“Dr. Miao is the best doctor! He is absolutely the most caring and thorough person. He explained everything he needed to do, was going to do and did it. My surgery went just wonderfully. Actually this was the second body part, for lack of a better term that he has had to repair for me. Hopefully I won't need his services again but if I do he will be the doctor for the job. His office staff and surgical team are wonderful as well. I was treated very good in the surgery room and they made me feel at ease. Tiffany, his assistant is a brilliant person with a wonderful demeanor that is a plus also.”

“Dr. Watson told me what's wrong and what I need to do to fix the problem. He explained and I told him I need to wait for now. But will eventually have surgery. The staff was helpful and efficient.”

“Dr. Baldauf listened to my concerns and did more than tell me to just not do exercises. He actually took the time to look at not only X-rays but MRIs and did surgery. I know it takes a while to heal completely so I'm not 100% yet but a lot better than I was. I will be going back to him for other concerns I have. Thank you Dr. Baldauf!”

“Dr. Hanson is very knowledgeable and relates well to patients. As a patient you get the feeling that he really cares about you and your needs. He looks at the whole picture - how the problem you are experiencing effects your personal life, your professional life. He truly listens and takes the time to explain everything to you. He doesn't immediately suggest surgery but considers other options first. A very good doctor with a great bedside manner.”

“I have been coming to Desert Orthopaedic since 2005. My first Dr. Was Dr. Neibaum. He did a magnificent job on my first hip Surgery. Than again in I had to have a second hip surgery only on the opposite side. For this surgery I had Dr. Bauldauf. Fabulous Dr. Just loved him. I would not go anywhere else for Orthopaedic Surgery. Thank you so much. You gave me my life back. ”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Watson at DOC for going on 2 1/2 years. I am so grateful to have found such an amazing Doctor. He is knowledgeable, kind and someone I trust with all my ortho needs. His team is also kind and thorough, making each visit a smooth one. I had surgery last year and have another surgery to do and wouldn't want anyone else working on my feet unless it's him. The DOC is organized and perfect all around. ”
