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!

I had a fine experience with Dr. Sales as well as P.A. Sean, both of whom were very considerate, cordial, and professional. Sean asked questions about my situation and did a brief evaluation of my mobility. Dr. Sales went into detailed explanation of my spine issues and options regarding same, and he provided paperwork describing what was discussed that I could take home to share with my husband. I very much appreciate having that paperwork. I highly recommend Dr. Sales and his staff!

Easy to get an appointment, not too far in the future.
My appointment was on time, efficiently handled by front desk, medical assistant, PA and the doctor. Each were polite and respectful.
Everything was explained to me in a way I could understand, and my options were clearly explained to me.

After 18 months of horrible thigh pain, trying chiropractic, acupuncture, deep tissue massage, pt, Moxa therapy, instant relief was mine in a two hour surgery. From the receptionists, to the PA-Cs to Dr. Sales, I was treated with compassion, respect, and honesty. I hope I never have occasion to use them again, but if so, I'll be right back there.

The care I received from Dr. Sales, his excellent P.A., Ryan and the rest of his team was extraordinary. I entered the Summit Spine clinic with a debilitating back problem, and walked out upright and pain free. This is the single best medical experience I have had in my 58 years and I am deeply grateful to Dr. Sales for this fantastic outcome.

Dr. Sales and his assistant Sean showed a genuine interest in my issues with my back/neck. They display the care I look for with a treating office which is why I find myself reestablishing as a patient after several years. They both came in the exam room to speak to me, answered all concerns and never appeared rushed. I even forgot to ask a question so sent an email through their portal that evening and received an answer the next morning. If you need a 5 star outfit you've come to the right place.
