His notes were inaccurate and he was extremely condescending and rude throughout my appointment.

Refused to listen when he was demonstrably incorrect and made diagnosis unsupported by DSM. When this was pointed out, he replied that he can't disprove it, and kept it in the records. Likes power and being right. Not the kind of doctor you want. Heavily overmedicated.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get far enough for a visit. I am military and received a referral for my son through Humana. When I attempted to make an appointment I was very rudely informed by his staff that he only accepts new patients if ‘they’re going to be in the area for at least 10 years’. Quite honestly, that’s a BS way of saying ‘we don’t want you’ because regardless of my military status no one is going to be able to guarantee they won’t move in 10 years.

Office sent the bill to my father, stating he was responsible for the amount when he was not. During my “evaluation,” Dr. Sales never once asked about any of my symptoms or my current medications. Dr. Sales asked questions about faith and intrusive questions about personal relationships. In my follow-up appointment, Dr. Sales lied to me about reviewing my records and that he didn't know what doses my previous medications were and the time I was on the medications. My records contain all that information. When I called him ou... read more

Dr. Sales is a very caring and professional psychiatrist. I have been seeing him for over 10 years. He only asks questions related to my condition. He has never been hostile or belligerent to me. He has helped me control my depression and anxiety. I would definitely recommend him.

Current staff is much friendlier than the staff that used to be there A little more talking and explanation of what you’re suffering from would be good Overall I think it’s a good place to go

Dr. Sales was unprofessional bordering on abusive. He used technical jargo and was condescending when I didn't understand, interupted while I answered his questions, challenged me verbally for statements I did not make, and injected his personal situation (saying he was a narcissist) during my only meeting with him. He was beligerent that I did not have, in writing, my 30+ year mental health history even though I had less than 24 hours notice for my appointment. Reporting to licensing board.

The office visit with Dr Sales was extremely positive, helpful, and beneficial! He listened very carefully, was a true professional in every possible way and made me feel comfortable the entire time. The office staff was also great!

It is true, that the staff is very rude. Dr. Sales does not listen and gets very aggressive when questioned about medication changes. I stuck with him for a year and a half despite negative side effects I was having because I trusted him to tell me to do what was best for my health. That was wrong, he did not listen to me and left me on medication that was hurting. He is careless to the point of being unethical.
