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!

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.
