West Valley Cigna subscribers now eligible for care at Phoenix Spine & Joint Arizonans with commercial health insurance from Cigna can access stateof-the-art, minimally invasive joint replacement surgery under their current policy. Phoenix Spine and Joint has been contracted with Cigna to provide orthopedic surgery and pain management since Oct. 15. The medical staff of Phoenix Spine and Joint includes board-certified, fellowship-trained doctors Dr. Nathan Moore, Dr. Dan
Galat, Dr. Jimmy Chow and Dr. Ann Cheri Foxx, who use robotic-assisted, minimally invasive surgery and evidence-based pain management. Phoenix Spine and Joint’s minimally invasive philosophy ensures dramatically less pain for patients. Smaller incisions and reduced pain mean less medication and harmful side effects. Patients can expect a substantially shorter recovery period and leave our facility the same day of the procedure. Phoenix Spine and Joint boasts a less than 1% infection rate. “Since the pandemic began, patients were concerned about the safety of having surgery; but they still want to get state-of-the-art care they deserve,” said Dr. Dan Lieberman, medical director. This announcement was celebrated by the city of Goodyear. “We’ve heard so many good things about Phoenix Spine and Joint. They have a great reputation, and they have received high ratings from patients in their care,” Mayor Georgia Lord said. “We are very pleased to be able to offer our city of Goodyear employees this opportunity to receive state-of-theart care at a local office that offers evaluation, testing and surgery all in one location. This is a great addition to our employee benefits package.” Patients can expect concierge service as care coordinators guide them through the entire process. Patients can get scheduled within as little as one week. The Phoenix Spine and Joint Ambulatory Surgery Center is located at 140 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 110.
