Patient Reviews
Feb 11, 2025
I needed spinal joint injections and Dr. Sachs was recommended.He was very professional and my surgery went very well. He doesn’t make a lot of small talk but if you engage him - he responds positively. The entire surgical team was excellent from my first encounter until I was out like a light! Seemed like a millisecond. My recovery was quick and easy and I was on my way home before I knew it! Felt so good we stopped and ate on the way home - Drive in of course but we stopped and ate there.Just waiting for my follow up appointment and am actually following all post-surgical instructions because I want this to work!Again, very grateful to Dr. Sachs, his surgical expertise and his medical staff and colleagues.I couldn’t be happier thus far.
