I did a lot of research before I chose Dr. Sales to operate on me because of a prior surgical complication. Dr. Sales was very receptive to my concerns and insured me he would take the extra care so I would not have that type experience with him. The surgery was successful and I am back to do a surgery to help address the prior facility’s complication. Dr. Sales is a very caring surgeon that takes the extra time to explain the issues at hand, and I believe he is a very skillful surgeon or I would not come back for more.

I had met with a neurosurgeon before Dr Sales and then was referred to Dr Sales for a second opinion. Even though I had the same response to my issue and Dr Sales was much further away, I chose Dr Sales and his staff for their bedside manner, friendliness, and empathy. After meeting with each surgeon and talking with my daughter she said to "pick the one you are most comfortable with no matter the drive." It was definitely worth the drive. He and the staff are AMAZING in my opinion!!

Dr. Sales was very clear with his interpretation of MRI and diagnosis. I was able to schedule microdiscectomy surgery and had a successful event. The follow-up from his team has been excellent and I am ahead of schedule with recovery.

As a young woman, getting a spinal surgeon to take my ongoing neck pain was a challenge even though I have done PT, chiropractic, massage, injections and medication for my pain. After being told by several surgeons that my bulging discs, bones spurs, etc were not worth their time, Dr. Sales said to me something I won't forget: "I can see your pain". He pointed out how its obvious based on my MRI why my pain that I've had for over a years worsening. I was afraid of fusion because I've heard bad things, like it'll just mess up the rest of your spine. Both Dr. Sales and Colton PA answered ALL of my many questions about my options. I felt really comfortable with Dr. Sales that fusion was the best answer, but just in case, I went and spoke with two other surgeons. They both confirmed that fusion was the best and only answer, plus one of them told me "Stick with Sales, he's phenomenal". And wow, I'm so glad I did! Everyone at the surgical center was amazing and caring, Sales and Colton again were very validating and made sure to answer all of my questions, and recovery is going amazing! Thank you so much, Dr. Sales!

The entire team is great. I had a pretty bad neck injury and they made me feel like I was the only patient being tended to. It is extremely hard to find a DR and staff like DR Sales has.
