I felt very a great understanding of what was going on with my hip pain. Explained all things that were happening and what would be involved in my surgery and recovery. Left feeling better just knowing and understanding what was going on.

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.

Dr. Sacks did a wonderful job on my hip replacement. My recovery has been spot on. I can't thank him and his team enough.
