Testimonials from patients of Dr. Sachs

from Dick in CA March 2, 2014 for Bruce J. Sachs, MD

I am a retired general surgeon. I became a patient of Bruce J. Sachs, MD following a month-long hospitalization with a septic knee, two surgeries to drain it, one of which was inadequate. I did not have a primary care physician at that time, so I had gone to the emergency room. The surgeon on call was not well trained or responsive. Even though I am a physician, I quickly realized that… See more

At my annual, I related some symptoms, including a severe headache, that my sister, in Cleveland, was experiencing to Dr. Sachs because I had experienced something similar although nowhere near as severe.

This allowed him more time to monitor my medication regimen, assess my blood work ups and to develop the best health care… See more

from Anita in CA February 10, 2014 for Bruce J. Sachs, MD

Dr. Sachs arranged for a demonstration by a dynamic specialist in balance- focused exercises for the elderly patients in his practise. This led me to inquire about arranging such a class at my retirement community. That's how I learned they already have such a class, which I joined, and have a lot of fun by doing simple exercises and playing group games that combine balance,… See more

I love the coffee machine in Dr. Sach's office. The treats next to it make for a very welcoming fare. I don't eat them...but I do love that coffee. Dr. Sachs has told me on numberous occasions to just drop in and have a cup on my way about my day. That in itself tells you how welcoming and friendly that office is.
It goes without saying that Dr. Sachs cares a tremendous amount… See more

The first time I met Dr. Sachs was when I was in the hospital a couple of days suffering with ulcerative colitis and c.diff. I had heard about Dr. Sachs and I decided to call for a future appointment. However, he arrived at the hospital the following day on a Sunday morning and spent an hour discussing my situation. At that point I had not yet signed up for MDVIP. Dr. Sachs never asked for… See more
