This doctor performed my surgery for colon cancer (well, he didn’t actually do it!). He allowed a surgical intern to do it. Post surgery was a nightmare and good ole Dr. Sac did not help. Also, they left surgical clips in my abdomen! Extremely stingy with pain relief medication. I was forced to beg for medication to relieve my pain and discomfort. I would never, ever, see him again. I do not trust him. He used to work for Rush Hospital but Loyola Medical Center lured him away with more money. Stay away.

He is good at surgery but following up on patients is less than desirable. Your on your own.

From the time of my first meeting with DR Sac he got my referral papers from my primary physicians, from the secondary opinion doctors, from which the primary failed to timely follow up. DR Sac analyzed all the records; gave me the options; and removed my cancerous large intestine two weeks later. I am now in chemo and radiation with excellent prognoses thanks to Dr Sac and his excellent team.
