Dr. Sacks' father was a surgeon and worked hard to give his patients the best care possible. He allowed his son to shadow him, to follow him as he performed surgeries and followed up with his patients.
This taught Dr. Sacks two very important lessons. First, the doctor's calling is complete, holistic, patient-centered care, and that orthopedic surgery wasn't for him. Instead, Dr. Sacks became an orthodontist because he wanted to care for people and bring patients a little joy as they pursue a healthy, beautiful smile.
Our staff loves what they do, and they love who they do it with. At Sacks Orthodontics, we’re a family of caregivers, and we work hard to include you in that family.
