Recognizing Our 2025 Phoenix Magazine Top Doctors

Several physicians at the Spine Institute of Arizona have been recognized in 2025 as Top Doctors by Phoenix Magazine. Drs. Gause, Burns, Rowley, Dave, and Auten were selected by their peers for inclusion in this year’s annual list honoring excellence in healthcare.

The Top Doctors designation is based on confidential surveys of healthcare professionals who are asked to identify the physicians they would trust to care for their own patients and families. This peer-selected recognition reflects both clinical expertise and professional respect within the medical community.

Being named a Top Doctor represents a commitment to high standards of patient care, surgical precision, and ongoing advancement in spine treatment. At the Spine Institute of Arizona, our physicians focus on evidence-based approaches to spine, neck, and back conditions, tailoring treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each patient.

This recognition underscores the Institute’s continued dedication to delivering exceptional spine care across the Phoenix area and surrounding communities.

We congratulate Drs. Gause, Burns, Rowley, Dave, and Auten on this well-earned professional distinction.
