Great doctor in Santa Monica. I had been to Cedars and UCLA without success. Now I am much better and off narcotics thanks to Dr. Sacks.

Outstanding and a very caring and compassionate doctor. Always takes a lot of time with me to provide support and answer my questions. Dr. Sacks is the best doctor in Los Angeles.

I am a chronic pain patient of Dr Sacks for well over a decade and his twice-monthly injections are the difference between disruptive, continuous ache, pain and functionality in my professional and personal life.

Dr Sacks has also made proactive recommendations to ensure no other factors are in-play with my health situation, so he really looks out for my best interests.

The office is well-organized, well-managed, clean, quiet and efficient. Strong recommendation.

Dr. Sacks is as he has always been,cold,rightous,cocky & uncaring.
he is only interested in making a doolar giving me Marcane shots. in a cold impersonal manner. A weird worman is his helper. She walks,talks slowly & in a horrof film kind of voice. She has U sit to a wall facing a terrible painting . A very small space where U do not see the doctor or conect with him. he comes in says where does it hurt & give U a shot. he then goes to his offic ewithout eye contact & says i want to see u in a week for another shot. Want to come in mext Wed. at 2pm? No how about Mod 1pm. Not good how about Friday? He seems to have tons of open time for treatments that r usual used in surgery in an open wound.
He doesn't have a secretary at the front desk making appts. o he is saving money there. He has as some mentioned very uncomfortable chairs in his tiny outdated office. On his counter R you guessed it Jewish Journals.
He did my paperwork on my 1st visit. ruffing through papers tossing out comments without any knowledge about me or my health issues.
I sat across him as if I were not there.
He didn't make EYE contact with me at all!! He knows Marcane is short-acting. I am guessing that is how he can keep U coming back week after week. on my 2nd & last visit I told him he was misinformed about me & not caring enough. He said, "no problem. Good-bye!"
I also recall seeing on 2 patients. 1 the 1st time & 1 the 2nd time. Both were seemingly new & unaware of how Dr. Sacks treats people.
I & others feel he should have his license revoked since he is not caring, compassionate or truly helping people long-term.
I am shocked if anyone says he is a great caring compassionate doctor. I think they haven't ever been to a really compassionate, non-arrogent doctor.
Not for 1 minute did I ever feel heard, understood or helped.
I only went back to basically tell him my thoughts on his horrible care.
he did nothing helpful for me except line his pocket with my money!!!


Dr. Sacks is a blunt,abrassive,crude,cold, narcissitic,self serving doctor.

Outstanding, compassionate care ! Great doctor and great, efficient staff. I was referred to Dr. Sacks by my doctor and my doctor told me that he sends everyone to Dr. Sacks - even his father ! That's the best recommendation a doctor can give - that he sends his own family to Dr. Sacks !

Great doctor and great staff. Dr. Sacks has helped me so much. Other doctors just tried to give me drugs. Dr. Sacks is the first doctor who cares. He made the right diagnosis and we are doing the right treatment. I am so much better thanks to Dr. Sacks. By the way, he doesn't care about money at all ! He even gave me money when I told him I needed food ! God bless this fine doctor !

Rude, kurt, pompous, and those are the nice things about him. One visit and you'll know you made a mistake choosing this doctor for pain management. The chairs in his waiting room will tell you what he thinks of his patients pain. They are as uncomfortable as your visit with him will be. He is all about the money and you will be lucky to get 5 min of his time after waiting 30-45 minutes past your appointment time. If only he was worth the wait. Suggestion: find another doctor.
