Dr. Saks explained everything that would take place before my surgery and what recovery would be like. He did an incredible job with the surgery and I was home the same day. The new hip works perfectly just like the original equipment use to work. There is no pain and there is nothing I can't do.

knowledgeable about the hip, confident, trustworthy, articulate, understandable. For me, incredibly caring. Just a great doctor who actually called me three times at home, and I respect the heck out of this man. He is a terrific doctor, and he has a great deal of empathy for his patients. And he's also very, very, very good. So that's my message to you people. Thank you.

Dr Saks was very kind in caring for me and I didn't feel rushed. He made a plan to get to the root cause of my issues. It was a good visit. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.

Dr. Saks is an amazing surgeon. This hip replacement exceeded my expectations. He's a down to earth personality that I found refreshing. Honest, intelligent, and caring. If I know anyone that needs a hip replacement, I definitely will send them to Dr. Saks.

Well, first of all, I didn't say a whole lot of anything to the doctor, so I can't rate a 10 or a 1. So I mean, I just listened to what he had to say and that's why I threw a 7 down there. All we did was just a short consultation. So I don't really know what else I could do. We haven't done anything yet as far as surgery or anything, so I'm just trying to be as honest as I can and that's it.

He is knowledgeable and caring. He wanted me to talk to a knee surgeon about the tendon issue.
