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!

I met Dr. Sales the day of my consultation and the day of surgery. Both times he was patient and kind.

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.

I was at the end of the day so we were a little behind timewise, but the team is great! They keep me moving!

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.

All are amazing Dr. Rafe Sales, Mr. Kolton Paryzek, and, Mr. Sean Brown very professional down to earth caring compassionate plus friendly staff I love that they admit that nothing is guaranteed that shows us that no matter the outcome they are willing to take the steps to do further testing as we all know it’s surgery and every person responds differently we are very satisfied with our care as my husband and I both had two different back surgeries in January

I was told by others of a painful and long recovery and was scared. Dr. Sales and his team are incredible, I didn’t have any pain after the surgery and was totally mobile, I had to remind myself to be careful since I just had major surgery and didn’t want to damage his great work!

This surgery was our first dealing with the spine, while waiting in the admitting area we met and discussed like surgeries, everyone had used the services of Dr Sales and his staff. One family we spoke with had multiple family members from grandma down to grandchildren. What he says , he does, and does with expertise, every member of his staff have specific responsibilities to ensure that the patient gets the very best care , before and after the surgery, bar none, if they fail , he will find someone to take their place and they know it.
