I would not recommend this Dr to anyone. I didn't even get to see him personally, it was always someone else and they all were very unprofessional and arrogant. I was told that they saw nothing wrong with me that needed surgery. I can't hardly walk and the pain is excruciating! My primary Dr is sending me to another Surgeon because he says i definitely need surgery. I've seen bad Drs before but this was my worst experience.

Dr. Sachs Just wanted to say thank you. I feel like a million bucks. You are amazing! I have lived with this pain for years and now it is gone. I am at a loss for words on how good I feel. I felt the difference when I woke up in recovery and every day it gets better. 2 weeks out and I feel like doing a cartwheel :) I feel like a new person. Thanks again to you and your crew! Great People Elgg Bertens

I was in pain and brought my MRI's to Dr. Sachs and he had his nurse tell me I had bursitis. He sent me to physical therapy which didn't help, so he ordered another round. Then he couldn't "fit me in" for another 3 months or even order treatment. I went to another neurosurgeon who clearly saw a large cyst on my spinal cord and the need for fusion. I never bothered to contact him to tell him of his error. He never saw me.

He was wonderful. I had a fusion last June. And I could not ask for better results. One month after surgery I was walking a mile. He was great with explanations and bedside manner. I refer him to everyone

This doctor will not waist his time by seeing anybody that his staff does not consider a candidate for surgery, he wants to operate on anybody that comes to his office, he does not listen to his clients , he gets very rude if you dare to challenge him and tell him that you may consider other options instead of surgery and as far as I am concerned he does not care about anybody but himself and his pocket. Very unprofessional behavior on his part.

Dr Sachs helped me out tremendously with my lower back pain. He did facet injections and they lasted for almost three years. I am going back for another set. He said he wants to do injections until they don't work anymore before he cuts on me. A lot of Drs want to just cut and you are never the same afterwards. Great Dr.

Hands down The best neurosurgeon in polk county . From my own personal experience Dr. Sachs will be the first Neuro that I refer my patients to . I Just had a two disc level lumbar surgery requiring laminectomy with also a discectomy . I experienced immediate relief because of his great expertise I will be forever grateful .

I like Dr Sachs, I have waited in the office a few times longer then I would like but understand he is busy and has emergencies at time. He has alway spend time with me, answered my questions, and refilled my prescriptions.
