Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

It has always been the best.

Excellent, painless injection! 10/10
I met Dr. Bhola for the first time moments before my T8/T9 epidural injection yesterday at Desert Sky Pain Management. I’ve had over 130 epidurals in my lumbar spine over the last 34 years and ~8 in the thoracic over the past 4 years. I don’t get sedation & you definitely don’t need it for Dr. Bhola. He absolutely nailed it, on the money, in a virtually painless injection. 10/10 on skill. Dr. Bhola has been described by other reviewers as “cold.” His personality isn’t exactly warm, lol, but I’m only concerned about his skill, education, training and results. If you want warm and cuddly, maybe he’s not for you. If you want expert injections, excellent results with no nonsense, Dr. Bhola is your man. On Tuesday, I have a consult for my next lumbar injection. I don’t know who will be available, but I will certainly ask for Dr. Bhola and would happily be on his table at any time in the future.

Dr Bhola has been my pain Dr for over 8 years, I’ve been seeing pain Drs since 1989, Dr Bhola is the best pain management Dr I have ever had, He truly cares about his patients. Other pain Drs that I have seen only wanted to give me a bunch of medication, and never offered me other treatment options like Dr Bhola has, he’s very personable, excellent bedside manners, and he truly cares about his patients well being. I feel so honored to be his patient. Thank you Dr Bhola for all you do for your patients.

excellent in every way
I've been going to Dr. Bhola for years, and he has been the ultimate professional--he spends much time in exam, and explains everything thoroughly. He's gentle and treats the other medical workers with respect. My visits have always been prompt and kind, and most importantly, my visits have resulted in a pain free spinal column. Years of gratitude to Dr. Bhola

Improves My Quality of Life
I have been a patient of Dr. Bhola for approx 14 years. He is spot on when it comes to treating my joints for chronic pain. He has a great sense of humor, is very thorough, & answers all my questions.

In all my years of fighting extreme pain (20+), I have seen different doctors when I moved etc. Dr. Bhola, IMHO, is the least caring, coldest, and most rigid doctor in any field that I have ever met. A block of ice has more warmth and empathy than he had for me. Thank goodness for the chance I will get for a second opinion!!

Dr Bhola is the best pain management doctor there is! I have seen him for 22 years and he has kept me going! He is thorough, patient, knowledgable and kind. He recently was forced to change practices and locations, and handled it all with grace and aplomb. Now he has three locations to serve us. If you are in pain, make an appointment!

I have been a patient at Dr. Bhola's practice s ince 2011. I trust Dr. Bhola and his team to make the right trade-offfs and recommmendations s regarding my care. From the beginnning of my difficulties, through my current complex, deteriorated situation (no cure), Dr. Bhola has been patient, kind, attentive and very willling to accept my perspective, input and final decisions regarding next steps in the course of my treatment. He is very responsive on the patient portal; articulate and good at explaining what is happening, and why (if the "why" is known). He invests in being current on relevant research and skillled with emerging pain managemment/reduction technologies. He has been very willing to collaborate wwith other doctors on relevant aspectts of my care!

I had my initial contact with Dr. Bhola during the current pandemic we are experiencing. The office had just closed. I was concerned that the office closing when I was scheduled to get my trigger point treatment to relieve my signifiant thoracic and lumbar disease and related pain. Dr Bhola was very pleasant, understanding and helped me reduce my concern and anxiety related to the closure of the office. Also want to give a shout out to an awesome PA-C, Ms. Jean Menghini, Ms. Menghini has been very supportive and proactive related to my pain and physical challenges. Very positive experiences so far!

I recently came to Dr. Bhola with acute pain in my knee. He looked at the X-rays and felt the best option would be a series of three injections. After the third injection I just held my breath as I had gone through a similar procedure (different doctor) and it didn't work. Dr. Bhola was so caring as each injection was so painful. He carefully checked the screen several times before he did the actual placement. I'm so grateful to Dr. Bhola to be pain free. Karen W from Tucson
