His staff made a scheduling appointment which I caught before I left in June. Apparently they didn't correct it and when I got back from 30 days in Korea for the army, even though I had asked them to change it to Oct 2., the dr dropped me for missing the Sept 16th appointment. They wouldn't even discuss it with me. I wouldn't recommend him for my dog!

Dr. Sahinler's office staff was amazing when my PCP had not sent over the referral, got it taken care of so I could see the doctor. When I saw the doctor, he was very thorough in his exam & got me in immediately for my spinal injection. His bedside manner is patient & caring and at every turn, asked me if I had any questions about what he was doing or going to do. I would recommend him to anyone in my family.

I'd heard lots of good stuff about Dr Sahinler so I made an appointment and left a copy of my records with his receptionist so he could review my history prior to the appointment. A few days before my appointment his office called and said Dr Sahinler wouldnâ??t see because there was nothing he could do for me but I was given a referral to a neuro-surgeon. After examining me the neuro-surgeon sent me to a different pain specialist who quickly identified and treated the problem. I guess the best thing I can say about Dr Sahinler is he knows his limitations.

I will never go back. This doctor is very rude and has a HORRIBLE bed-side manner. I do not recommend him.
