I totally agree with all the ratings especially the third one. He pretty much told me to go elswhere when I asked to go to a specific PT who I had worked with before with excellent results. He is smart but really practices bad medicine with respect to the patient/doctor relationship. Has no respect for his patients, to say the least. It's my way or the highway!

I have seen both of these Saal Doctors over the years, one time each. They were both difficult to communicate with, quite arrogant and seemingly uninterested in your pain or problem. But this particular Doctor ignored my phone calls for 3, that's right 3 days following an epidural that I had had an allergic reaction from (the dye used). I spent several days in bed in more pain than I had prior. It was only after my husband sent him a fax to get his attention did his nurse finally return my phone call. When I saw him at my followup 10 days later and asked him why he did not return my calls, he simply said it was not a priority and then muttered something about patient/Doctor calls were not part of their clinic model. I was completely shocked and confused. Then he referred me to someone else at another clinic. I have not returned to SOAR since. That was 14 years ago.
