Brandon Sorensen, MD

The wacky phone system that made me so cranky is gone and has been replaced by a friendly human. I like Dr. Sorensen. I feel he takes time to be sure I understand what he is recommending. I trust him and will continue as his patient. I went on a quest of sorts to learn if surgery would resolve my problems. This took months of waiting for appointments for tests and for the evaluations of back surgeons. The answer is, «no». Pain management is now the best answer for me. I feel very fortunate to have the care of Dr. Sorensen.

Both Dr Brandon Sorenson and PA Erika have been very helpful in diagnosing my rare spinal disease and treating me with very conservative care. They always take time to listen and give concern regarding my treatment. They have stayed in contact, when needed, with my Neurosurgeon in Dallas. Office visits are scheduled in emergency situations to accommodate my needs. They remain very careful explaining medication, careful to address concerns I have regarding treatment of specific medication. They carefully monitor levels of medication as this was a huge concern of mine. I feel I am able to trust they are careful in prescribing the lowest levels to affect my illness. Dr S has a magnificent office staff. They are however over burdened with phone calls, which is a wonderful «problem» for any business to have to balance. I recommend Dr S and staff to my friends. Trust Pacific Spine if you are in need of a professional and caring staff

I Love Dr. Sorensen and his PA, Erika Doria. I am so happy to find such a wonderful, caring, «State of the art», knowledgeable, compassionate couple of caregivers. I have seen many Drs. In my lifetime due to multiple conditions. The only reason I left a Dr. was because they moved or retired. I am not a Dr. Shopper. I have been overwhelmed with too many medications in my lifetime. If Dr. Sorensen does not agree with the medication you may want, you can Trust that it is because it may kill you. He and Erika CARE about their patients. The office and nursing staff are friendly and Very courteous. If you heard any foul language (as reported in an earlier review) it was more likely to be from a patient that didn’t get what they wanted.
I highly recommend his practice to anyone who needs pain management. Remember and know they are there to Help you!

Awesome dr., takes time to listen to my concerns and works with me to find a plan that works for me. I have found pain specialists in the past are only there to monitor drugs… period. Dr. Sorenson works on finding a solution to the issue and not to just drug you up and mask the pain. He has a great bed side manner; is professional as well as personable, which is a hard combo to find. His PA, Erica is great too! I don’t mind seeing her… she provides great care too! Only dr. I will go to in Visalia, all other docs are out of town.

I went to this after my doctor of fourteen years retired. I brought my chart which is the size of a bible. Dr claims to be a pain management dr but all he did was judge the amount of pain medicine was taking i keep trying to tell him that my amount has been over a fourteen year span. I’ve done stimulators my body rejected he wanted me to go for two weeks to rehab i told him i had no one to take care of my children then threw out the pain pump idea sorry i knew a nurse who died from that. I spoke to a neuro surg he stated he would only do a pain pump if the patient was going to die because of the high risk of infection that goes straight to your brain. Of course a dr is going to make more money with a pain pump he gets to charge for the office visit and the medicine. So drug tested me said to come back in ten days so i did that. Then again rehab pain pump is what the visit was about that he didn’t feel comfortable treating me that was out of his lines of treatment i offered to taper down my meds i told him my script was going to be gone in ten days. So he said come back in ten days which was the day before I would need a new prescription. He wanted me to see his PA so i did she told me she didn’t feel comfortable treating really with an attitude she ask ed about rehab again i told her the same thing i have to be home for my kids i have no extended family. I told her i was willing to taper down she told what she could give me but then i mentioned the bad jerks and cramps i get with the lyrika and i take a five milligram of Valium that was it she was done and told me to find somebody else. So i wasted all that time thinking they would treat me. My opinion is this dr is fresh out of school and wants me to fit into a textbook and i dont. So i guess if u dont have more than a headache this would be the place to go
