Dr Slater is probably an excellent doctor, however, he was not wearing a mask, and made me remove mine. He obviously has not read the papers and heard about covid-19. His bedside manner was that of a doctor 30 or 40 years ago. Doctors have warmed up considerably since then.

My word! This man appeared to be the most bored, miserable, disinterested human being ever! One meeting with this guy and I could not wait to get out of there. He used a banged -up, over-used magazine picture to show me what was wrong with my hand. So unprofessional. He seemed like the kind of person who would be comfortable working out of the trunk of his car. He will never touch me with a scalpel. Run don’t walk away from him.

Dr Slater performed an Ulnar nerve transposition on my left elbow in September, and I have been extremely pleased with the results. Before coming to see Dr Slater, I had been through a lot of tests to diagnose my problem, and he suggested the best course of action. Everything has turned out just fine, thanks to his expert handling. He has been very kind with great "bedside" manners, and I recommend him highly.

I saw Dr. Slater in follow-up after I'd been diagnosed with a fractured elbow at an urgent care clinic and placed in an uncomfortable splint. He looked at the x-rays they took at Urgent Care, examined me, and questioned me thoroughly, then placed my arm under a flouroscope and watched the bones as he had me move my arm. He assured me that I did not have a fracture and explained the injury. His office made accommodations to fit me in so I wouldn't be splinted any longer than is safe, something other offices weren't willing to... read more

Dr. Slater did surgery on two issues on my hand. He steadfastly advocated for me to my insurance company despite ridiculous obstacles. My surgeries were spectacular. He never gave up on giving me the most advantages outcome. Is he warm and friendly- lol, not really, but if you follow his instructions you will get a fabulous result. . .

I was in acute pain in my shoulder Dr. Slater spent more than ample time with me to explain, treat and diagnosis my injury and made my course of treatment clear and did so with an amazing sense of humor! I was in tears prior to arrival the pain was over the top but Dr. Slater and his humor made it bearable. I am not an easy patient I ask a tremendous amount of questions and am skeptical of doctors but he gets the A++. Thank you Dr. Slater.

Awful experience. This doctor is clearly not interested in treating anyone who doesn't require surgery. Not only did he rush through a very cursory examination, he didn't ask any questions and misdiagnosed me as having a sprain. I have since see another Orthopedic Surgeon who identified the broken bone and set my hand in a cast. To add insult to injury I paid a $55 copay for this poor treatment. His bedside manner is simply appalling. Very, very disappointing. Don't use him for anything.

We felt like we were bothering him. Rude and talked down to us.and not helpful at all. A complete waste of time.

There are plenty of good orthopedists in the Sacramento area. Don't waste your time with this one. Rude, doesn't seem to care, and has an ego that is out of control. Went to another Dr. and was very happy with that overall experience.
