Great experience!

Dr. Sankey was very well dressed, obviously cares enough to take care of himself. I used to be a dental technician and I noticed he has very nice teeth that may sound silly to some of you, but to me it means he is a perfectionist that cares about details and that is very important to me as I am the same way. Anyway, I feel like I am in good hands and I am much less worried about surgery now.

He was very respectful, straight forward and educational on my health issues and how we want to fix them. He also helped me with a bottle of water when I needed it due to me getting anxious talking about surgery on my spine.
