I had my first visit with Dr. Sacks yesterday , and I couldn’t be more pleased. From the moment I walked in, the entire experience was smooth and welcoming. The office is clean, organized, and efficiently run. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful, and I was seen right on time. Dr. Sacks has a calm, reassuring manner and took the time to listen carefully to my concerns. He explained everything clearly, answering all of my questions without rushing. I appreciated how thoroughly he described my issue and the different options available for treatment. I left the appointment feeling informed, supported, and optimistic about managing my health moving forward. The medical staff were all friendly and efficient. Overall, a very positive experience.

I had a total hip replacement on my left hip and Dr Sacks and his staff explained everything in detail to what to expect. I had a successful recovery and my follow up visits were very professional and made me feel confident in my recovery time and what to expect. Dr Sacks is my hero and a brilliant surgeon. I trust him and his staff immensely and would highly recommend his talents .

Dr. Sacks was very thorough. His “bedside” manner left me feeling as though I was his only patient, and my personal care and treatment was the only reason he was a physician.
