Rude and unempathetic doctor
Seems to know things. Appointment felt rushed, unable to see or hear other than his own opion, and left with no answers. I did get called fat (or my body index is to high) so many times. This felt like a big waste of time.
He came up on my search as the top orthopedic shoulder surgeon in the Pacific Northwest. Everyone that I have ever talked to that has been a patient of his raves about him. I've had two meetings to him prior to a friend shoulder replacement. He's knowledgeable but most importantly takes the time to listen and
Dr. Sailer did an amazing job repairing my shoulder. He communicates clearly and we have a great Q and A at every visit. It’s a bonus that he has a positive, pleasant personality!
Very friendly, great bedside manor. Haven't had surgery yet, will update once that occurs
Dr. Mike is always supportive and professional.
Dr Sailer is short, sweet and to the point. Thorough explanations at my level, I don't feel like he's rushing to get to the next patient, but he is succinct which I appreciate.
Dr Sailer did my shoulder replacement and the pain I had for a couple of decades is finally gone! Thank you, Doc!!!
Dr. Sailer makes you feel that he knows what he wants to accomplish and how to get there and so far he’s doing a fine job
