Dr. Saris operated on me a week ago, and I feel like a new person. I was bed-ridden for close to two months before this with severe sciatica pain which prevented me from functioning normally. I felt immediate relief after the procedure and am already up and walking. I feel like a new person. Dr. Saris gave me my life back and for that I am forever thankful to him. He is a caring physician who truly changed my life.

I had a spell a few weeks ago when I may have loss of vision in one eye for a few hours. I was sent for neurosurgery evaluation because one of the tests showed that the artery in front of my neck was narrow. I saw a doctor at another hospital, but she seemed too aggressive for me. I saw Dr. Saris for another opinion. He said he does not do this operation anymore, but the artery was only 30% blocked. He said he did not feel I needed an operation, but only needed my bone set up a bit. He sent me back to my internist to refer me on to a neurologist. So glad I did not do the surgery.

I had 2 visits/surgeries with Dr Saris. I am still need of a 3rd for my Trigeminal issue but cannot go back to him as my insurance is no longer accepted. I'm sad beyond belief as my 2 previous surgeries with him were result full. He is the king of being very personable, awesome listener, he got the job done for me. I could not have been any happier.

I was very fortunate to be Dr Saris’s patient at the point where I almost lost hope that I'll find relief for my excruciating migraines. He has helped me recover, and not only that, but gave my life back: he leaded me to a better life.

I would like to say Dr. Saris did surgery on my back on December 14, 2020. He was a very compassionate doctor who made me feel very at ease and comfortable during my first visit to him. As far as the surgery went he did a
wonderful job and I had very little pain afterwards. I would recommend any of my friends or family with a problem with their back to him.
The incision on my back is very small and does not bother me at all. I have made a complete recovery thanks to Dr. Saris.

Forty years ago, I fell from a ladder which resulted in cervical and lumbar fusions; five years after that, a procedure called a cervical foraminotomy. With the help of a lot of medication and more intestinal fortitude than I knew I had, I managed to continue working through it all until I retired four years ago. I recently started experiencing cervical spasms of a very violent nature, I lost control of my car, climbed the curb and nearly hit a group of kids and it was happening often. I was scared, went to my primary care doctor who sent me to Dr. Saris who proved to be the rudest man I’ve ever met.
While reviewing my MRI, he contradicted what I was told in the past. While I cannot fault him for that, it was confusing and I was not allowed to ask a single question or make a single comment; Dr. Saris would repeatedly wave his index finger right in my face, make “shushing” noises and say “let me talk” (no one has done that to me since an ill-tempered nun in the fifth grade!!). Afterward, without my being able to say a word, he said that the pain I was complaining about was due to the fact that I’m “pushing 70”. Annoying as the age comment was, it was the first part of that statement that made me lose my temper. Dr. Saris would have to be a telepath to know what pain I was experiencing because I never even got to say a single word about why I was there in the first place. I left with far more questions than I entered with and I still have no idea what is causing these violent spasms which caused me to lose control of my car and come close to plowing through a group of kids. Now I’m afraid to drive anywhere. If you’re suffering from any chronic pain and have new symptoms (and if you’re over 40), I STRONGLY advise you to GO ELSEWHERE!!!!
