Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Like Tina Turner said...Simply the Best!
I recently underwent an ADR by Dr. Sales and his staff (10.9.24) I know we are all different, but I am three days out of surgery and feeling great. I went into this surgery with a great deal of fear. Sales and his staff helped me overcome those obstacles and move forward to a better way of living...pain free.My story starts 2 years ago with an automobile accident causing two ruptured discs in my neck. Multiple rounds of PT and wishful thinking later, I was forced to face reality. The reality of losing function in my hands and having full body fasciculations. It is rare to find a great doctor with amazing bedside manner, but it isn't just Dr. Sales..it is his entire staff. Sean, Cindy, and Wendy I am talking about you. You guys are the glue!Thank you so much for everything you guys have done!

He has a wonderful team working with him, Kolton, his PA provided invaluable time and energy with my care following surgery as well. The communication with his team is outstanding. I would highly recommend Dr. Sales and his care team!

He's a very kind and great doctor. He's got great bedside manner. He pays attention to you. He is good on what he does, and he takes good care of his patients. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Dr. Sales. He is good and cute too.

Excellent experience with surgery
I’m so glad I finally went through with my 2-level lumbar fusion surgery this year with Dr. Sales. I had put it off for two years after my insurance first approved it because I was intimidated about the recovery and worried about a bad outcome. But nothing was as difficult as I feared, and just one month out, I’m already walking longer and farther without pain than I was before the procedure. He, his PA’s and office staff were supportive and patient every step of the way. They answered all my questions and provided great care all around.

Amazing Orthopedic Surgeon and team!
I so appreciate how quickly Dr. Sales and his team took care of me, from Dr. Sales returning my call to answer my questions to his MAD surgical skills, his PA’s, Sean B. And Kolten P. being so nice, informative and reassuring, Cindy O. getting on the ball to have my procedure pre-authorized by my insurance so I could get scheduled asap, returning all my emails and calls so quickly, being a boatload of info and helping lessen my anxiety, being so pleasant and kind to work with, especially since she is so busy. I appreciate all the reminder texts pre and post surgery because they helped me stay on task. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Sales and his team. I am so grateful for their amazing care and expertise. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who needs back surgery.

Excellent surgeon
Went to Dr. Sales with excruciating pain running down my leg, MRI showed herniated disc and bone spurs. First appointment with Dr. Sales didn't feel rushed, took his time to explain everything and answer questions. Recommended surgery but didn't push that option and gave me time to think about it. Surgery went great, fantastic staff at the Wilsonville surgery center. Dr. Sales is an excellent surgeon, no pain since waking up from the surgery 6 weeks ago, I was given pain killers and muscle relaxers but never needed them.

Great Surgeon and Care Team!
From our first visit through surgery and through 4 weeks post op visit we really appreciated the expertise of the whole team. Dr. Sales, Sean, and Colten understood my needs, explained things, and took time with me. Cindy gets extra thanks for always returning my calls to answer questions and give reassurance. The team care was always consistent and top of the line! Many many thanks for seeing me as a person. Dr. Sales and his team are the absolute very best!!! Robert Scarola
