"Dr. Hatch was great! Saw him today and he was clear in his communication, took his time to listen to me, and I liked that his treatment plan is conservative and not the type where you feel like the doc is just trying to recommend the most expensive plan. He felt honest in his diagnosis and treatment planning. And he was friendly and not rushed. I recommend him and his office. The front office gal was also really friendly."

"After having back pain for three years, consulting many doctors, having physical therapy, as well as other pain control procedures, I was considering back surgery. My primary care physician recommended I visit Desert Spine and Sports Physicians before committing to surgery. I followed my doctor's advice. After a thorough examination, Dr. Tima Le recommended and performed several procedures to reduce my pain.

I highly recommend Desert Spine and Sports Physicians."

"I met Dr Hatch for the first time yesterday for tennis elbow. I have been trying everything without success. He listened to me but then went the extra mile many don't. He sent me home with a sample to try, explained in detail why I'm in pain and several of my options. Then he stepped away. To find out, he went next door to the physical therapist office to see if they could get me in for a quick appt. Then he walked me over for a proper introduction. Jessica was just what I needed. I feel I'm on a productive path for recovery and pain management, at last. Thank you Dr Hatch."
