Dr. Behrend is one of the most caring doctors i have ever meant. He explained everything so throughly . His staff did excellent job of also taking care of my needs. I highly recommend him to anyone having back and neck pain.

I had tried everything from chiropractic, massage, trigger point injections to physical therapy. I was still unable to walk around the block. I had an MRI and was told to see a surgeon. I researched various back surgeons and chose Dr. Behrend. In our first meeting he recommended me to a pain clinic for injections to see if I could get relief. Unfortunately the pain doctor took my treatment way beyond steroid injections. I ended up having a spinal stimulator implanted in my back. This did not work. I then had a new procedure. The doctor placed a Vertiflex spacer in my spine. This also was unsuccesful.
I went back to Dr. Behrend and was scheduled for decompression surgery. The first 2 weeks, I still had pain that limited my activities. After 2 weeks the pain was gone and I am now back to enjoying life thanks to Dr. Behrend.

Over the course of life I developed neck pain, stiffness, and loss of motion. I believe that I injured my neck as a teenager but brushed it off as a mild sport injury that would heal in time. Years later it effects nearly every aspect of my life. Pain while sleeping, terrible headaches, neck/upper back/shoulder pain was all apart of my daily life. Living my life around my neck pain had become routine. My pain started to become worse, unbearable really. After an MRI it became clear I needed to see a spine specialist. My husband had a wonderful experience with OrthoAZ with his injury, so they were my first call. A call that changed my life! Not only does Dr. Behrend listen, he is compassionate and understanding. I was in a state of a miserable existence and he was able to take the time to teach me what was happening. I elected to do ACDF and it's like being reborn. I have no pain--NONE! I can do the things I only watched others do. He and his staff changed my life!

When my pain consultant doctor, Dr Thompson refered me to Dr Behrend, i have been living with chronic back pain for a few years and did not just understand why.

But only a few days after the surgery, i could suddenly feel my foot and toes touching the floor when i stood up. I had realized that i had forgotten what's like to know the full feeling of my right foot.

I do not have a low back pain anymore, which is a kind of wierd concept to me.

Thank you, Doctors to eliminate my back pain so that i can live a good quality of life. Stacy Goshinksa

Dr. Behrend has been very thorough and professional concerning my condition. I have great trust in him and his abilities as a surgeon. He is very caring, personable, and spends time to answer and questions I may have concerning my diagnosis.

I appreciate the detailed explanations of what was wrong and the time spent answering my questions. You solved my issues!

No more numbness no more pain in my legs. I would recommend Dr. Behrend to anyone.

Dr. Behrend and his PA Lori are nothing short of amazing. I had a laminectomy and fusion of L3-L5 due to pain and numbness in both legs and feet. The pain was gone the day of surgery. He and his staff are personable and caring. I am a provider, and will be sending my patients to him. Great results and follow up.
