Dr Sales was professional, knowledgeable and most important, caring. He went above and beyond when I entered his office to be examined for possible eye complications from shingles. He explained my situation in detail and assured me that my vision was not affected! This took the edge of the whole situation! I will surely make my next appointment for a thorough eye exam.

He does not like to be asked questions and is very defensive. Makes you wonder why.

He is a bit arrogant. He also insists on general anesthesia for cataract surgery when other ophthalmologists do local. In my experience Weill Cornell is more a corporation than a hospital. Are there good docs there? Yes. But they are everywhere. And now they have the David H Koch building. You know of the Koch brothers. That in and of itself says a lot about WC.
