Dr. Sides is one of the best primary doctors I have had. His diagnoses are accurate and he doesn't hesitate to refer to a specialist if necessary.

Such a wonderful and caring doctor. Very dedicated physician that takes time with you and listens to your medical concerns and spends the time that every person deserves when they need to talk about what's going on with them , either good or bad. Takes time to make house calls to his patients who are unable to make to office on his time. Will answer his phone any time of day 24/7 and very plesant to nurses that have to call him at any hr when he is not at work and to his patients who can also call him on his time away from work. I would have to give Dr. James Sides a Honorable and Very Dedicated Doctor to all who are the fortunate ones to be able to have him as their Docter.
