Dr. Sachs has provided my primary care, and has referred me to Specialists when needed for 30 years. I can’t imagine trusting anyone else so completely. Between him, his M.A. Donna and GM Sherry complete the triad of care he provides for his patients. I’m always very satisfied with Dr. Sachs and his Associates, and always feel as if I’m being cared for by a well-run family business.

I have been a patient over 20 years and moved into the MDVIP when he took that path. Dr. Sachs is caring , through, knowledgeable and truly wants to help his patients. In a medical environment where doctors never give you enough time, THIS doctor makes the time. Office is friendly, and his nurse, Donna, is the best.

Dr. Sachs has been my primary for 13 years. I write today because I called hoping he could see me tomorrow. Unfortunately he's on vacation. But I can say over the 13 years that Dr. Sachs exhibits many qualities. He's always had my best interest at heart. He shoots from the hip. He is versed in not only internal medicine, but is helpful with mood disorders and psychological issues as well. He won't put a band-aid on you. He'll get to the root of the problem.
