I suffered for Bout 30 years. Went to countless doctors and nobody could figure out what was wrong with me. I actually applied for disability because I could no longer work. I went to this amazing doctor and got my answer. My life has changed in so many many amazing ways and I owe it all the this doctor.

Although Dr. Sides always seems very compassionate and genuine, getting in touch with him outside of our appointment time is impossible. I've left 4-5 messages on different occasions and only received a call back once. He's a nice man and seems to care but I'm tired of feeling like I'm not worth the time to his staff.

dr sides took his time getting to know my symptoms and did not focus on age. he seemed to truely care and kept saying that he will find the reason i do not feel well. he was very poliet spend about 40 min with me as a new patient to get a complete history and even went out of his 'feild' to help with other issues having, i highly recomend him to anyone that needs to be seen by someone in his specialty. did alot of test and said wil be recieving my own copy which i find very helpful when seeing multiple doctors and for own records. everyone on staff was very poliet and did not focus on my age and one symptom he focused on me as a whole to find the root of problems

He knows what he's doing! He always works with me to find meds that work and I can tolerate. Super sweet guy- I think anyone who had a negative experience must have been a difficult patient to work with.
