Great experience with Dr! However disappointed with scheduling staff and how hard it was to get an apt for my son with a broken foot. No urgency to get him in right away. Was told by several employees that they could not see him for several days.(even after I told them X-ray from hospital said it was fractured) Was only seen because his school trainer helped get him an appointment asap. Unacceptable

I wish I was told ahead of time when booking an appointment, that he was a knee specialist and not an ankle specialist. This would have been crucial in booking my appointment to begin with. It would have also been handy if he had told me this from the start and not to the end. I felt he was a bit rushed, quite determined in his diagnosis of my ankle issue, only to tell me later in the appt, he is a knee specialist and not an ankle specialist. He couldn't tell for sure why my ankle was hurting for over 2 years, and what would have caused the swelling. He was able to explain my knee pain in 2 seconds, bc he is a knee specialist! So he does know his area of expertise.

From the check-in process to seeing the doctor and checking out, everyone is extremely helpful and genuinely nice. Observant to my needs and willing to answer questions if they came up.

Clear considering evaluation of my injury Proposed possible modalities for rehab and healing and allowed me a voice in the final treatment plan. I would definitely recommend Dr Saks to my family and friends.
