Dr. Caleb Behrend, MD

I am so very glad I chose Dr Behrend. He listened to my concerns and explained everything to me in terms that I could understand. Lori was so very helpful with all of my day to day progress

Dr Behrend is a life saver. He's given me whole new outlook on life!

Because I was in so much pain, my quality of life was bad. Family & friends discouraged me from having surgery at my age, 76. I still want to function on my own. The Scoliosis surgery was 8 hours long and the recovery was hard. I would do it again, because I have my life back and it' s much better! Thank you Dr. Behrend.

My experience with Dr. Behrend and his staff was wonderful. Dr Behrend is very kind, compassionate, and listened to my needs. I had surgery on L4-L5 and L5-S1 and would be lying if I said I didn't have any ups and downs with my recovery process but overall the expectations of the experience were met. I'm no longer having the sciatic pain that caused me to resort to surgery in the first place. I'm very pleased with the way things went and I've begun doing things that pain has prevented me from doing in the past.

I have not one negative thing to say! Dr. Behrend came into my life when I could hardly function with simple day to day tasks. I had been suffering for 25 years with severe low back pain. Through the years not one Dr. would get to the root of my problem. I will never forget my first visit. He looked me in the eye and told me that I was fixable. That he could do what needed to be done. As scared as I was, I totally trusted him with all my heart! The day of surgery I could tell right away that I was fixed! I even cried as I did laps around the hospital. The recovery took some time. I had a bad reaction to the glue that was used and Dr. Behrend took the time to scrape it off and help me with the itching pain. The amazing staff was always there with my millions of questions and phone calls. What a great practice Dr. Behrend has! I will forever be grateful each day to him. I pray that his talented hands will be blessed to help many others as he has helped me! I love you Dr. Behrend!

Dr, Behrend is knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and accurate. I had a serious extruding disc that was causing an immense amount of pain and numbness. Within the first visit Dr. Behrend had x-rays taken and developed a treatment plan that didn't delay getting me on the road to recovery. The only downside is that there isn't a clone of this wonderful man so that he can do surgery and clinical appointments at the same time. I went from being bedridden to back on my feet almost immediately after surgery. I have already recommended Dr. Behrend to friends and family who have needed an orthopedist and would not hesitate to recommend him or see him again if the need ever arose. Thank you for giving me back my life Dr. Behrend!

Doctor Behrend was fantastic, my knee pain even went away, I am so glad I had the surgery done, thank you

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.

Very happy
