How likely are you to recommend Dr. Sacks?
Dr. Sacks is the real deal, a doctor who has the experience and learning to know what he is doing - don't mess with him. Since the so-called 'Opioid Crisis', people who are experiencing legitimate pain from legitimate medical conditions have gotten screwed, and Dr. Sacks knows it. The government has taken really effective pain meds off the market and doctors are terrified to prescribe opiates, and rightly so. The government has come in and shut down legitimate doctors' practices because they prescribe opiates 'too liberally'. It is a tricky time to be an expert in pain management, but Dr. Sacks does it shrewdly, and with intelligence and experience.If you really have a medical condition that involves pain, Dr. Sacks can help you. If you are trying to score drugs for fun, don't even try it here. He is too smart for you.
