At 52, I couldn't have imagined I would require back surgery. But I found myself with excruciating sciatic pain and no permanent solution other than surgery. Thankfully, I found Dr. Sales. I met with Dr. Sales at his office where we went over my MRI and the procedure needed to correct the problem. I worked with Dr. Sales staff to book my appointment and they were able to answer my questions, and took my calls or replied to me promptly when not at their desk. I am now 3 weeks post surgery, and I have zero pain. Yes, the surgical site is a little sore, and I am still limited in my activities. However, the sciatic, back, leg and ankle pain is gone and I am so grateful to be able to spend the rest of my life pain free. Thank you to Dr. Sales and his incredible staff. From the time I came to the office, to the time I was taken in to the surgery center for my surgery, everyone involved was wonderful.

I had neck surgery last May 2022, and was so impressed with Dr. Sales and all of his staff. If I had a question I was always greeted with respect and compassion. I appreciate the follow through and always willing to problem solve with me so that I received the best of care. I would highly recommend Dr. Sales to anyone needing neck surgery.

Dr. Sales has helped me with two disc herniations in my lumbar spine. I have appreciated that he and his team recognize my perspective and priorities as a young, athletic person. All of my pre-op, post-op, and operation day experiences with Dr. Sales and his team have been great. Thank you for your care!

DR. Sales explained my condition and recomened surgery. He described the procedure that was necessary to remove my ruptured disk. He uses a minimal incision to remove the bulged disk which then encourages the healing of the disk.

This has been the best surgical experience that I have encountered. At 76 years old my back (spine) was giving me trouble standing still or walking any distances. Dr. Sales look at my MRI and noticed places where bone was pressing on nerves. He was able to release the pressure. While it has only been a few days after the surgery I can already feel the difference. This is the doctor to talk to if you are thinking about back surgery.

Only specialist out of 4 that listened, sincerely cared, and did their homework on my history acting swiftly to rectify previous devastating ‘medical mishaps’. Dr. Sales has great staff and teams front to back. Saved me from losing complete faith in the medical field, which I’ve worked in for years. CHEERS!
