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.

Dr Saunders explained my cancer and the needed treatment, my options, answered any and all of my question prior to surgery and since surgery. He instilled a sense of confidence with me that I haven’t had in any doctor. He has communicated with me through email and by phone. I have never felt rushed during a visit with him. His knowledge of his profession is unquestionable. My cancer was esophageal/stomach cancer and at 13 months I’m currently cancer free.

Dr. Saunders treated me for rectal cancer. He was outstanding and very good at what he does. I think that is actually an understatement and I found him to be highly respected by his fellow doctors and nurses. I was so very thankful to be referred to him. He removed my cancer and went the extra mile to preserve quality of life without putting my life at risk. I have total confidence in him, and highly recommend him. I frankly don't think you can do better. Sometimes your options aren't great when it comes to cancer, but you would do well to have Dr. Saunders in your corner. I give him the highest rating possible and then some.
