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!!!!

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 went to see Dr Saris because I wanted my brain tumor and was referred to him by a friend. The gentleman was so nice and easy going and made me feel at ease from my first appointment. I was excited, nervous and apprehensive but he made me feel comfortable and so I knew I wanted to definitely go thru with the procedure. He answered all of my questions and was always reassuring. I am so much happier now. They did an amazing job and my scars are minimal, better than I expected. He is a perfectionist!!! I would recommend her to anyone as he does other procedures as well.

Wonderful experience
I was referred to the Brigham and Women's Hospital for my facial pain. They in turn referred me to Dr. Saris. He spent an incredible amount of time with me and my husband talking about the options for treatment. The medications had failed, and we are still thinking about it. Very informative visit.

My impression of Dr. Saris is that he is very thorough, extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant. I feel fortunate that my appointment was with him. I have complete trust in him as to what the next step is.
