Patient Reviews
Jul 19, 2020
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Sayles. He operated on my tumor immediately and followed up with 2 more colorectal procedures. He is a very smart surgeon. I pray that he doesn't pass me along to someone else for follow up care. I think he's forgotten that I need to be seen this year. I can't deal with another medical let down. I was so scared that I would have to be seen by a Mexican or some other foreign doctor. He alleviated some stress by just being present. I don't want any Hispanic or other foreign medical students ever involved in my healthcare. I never imagined that it would be questionable that I never wanted a foreign doctor. I think Dr. Sayles may not have wanted to follow up with me but I'm glad he did. I know that I am not a priority patient but I'm glad that he attended to my medical emergency. I am pleased with Dr. Sayles' intelligence and attention to my concerns. I pray that Africans and Hispanics get out of healthcare in every aspect, nursing, allied health, etc.
