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 Sawyer is very encouraging and knowledgeable. She quickly identified my issues, and is very responsive to messaging on their portal.

Great doctor!
Dr. Sawyer is knowledgeable, well informed, responsible, kind and takes the time to really find out how I am doing at each visit but her receptionist is quite nasty to the point that I am considering going elsewhere. That would be a shame because I have the highest regard for Dr. Sawyer.

Apparently because she’s the only endocrinologist in Santa Fe, she’ll see only people who “meet her criteria.” Sorry doc, if my PCP believes I need to see an endocrinologist, you need to take that seriously. Also the receptionist maybe should find a job she doesn’t hate? The whole office is appalling. Probably worth driving to ABQ for someone who will actually take care of you.

Dr. Sawyers office does not care about their patients! It takes months to get a refill on prescriptions. They never follow through on anything. The receptionist and Lisa the assistant drop the ball on taking care of their patients.

Doubts my symptoms and when they occur. Responds way late or not at all to messages, leaving me in pain for weeks. Doubtfully reads the messages. Does not research more complex issues to provide an informed opinion.

Doctor has poor communication skills and is temperamental. She's oddly misinformed about the nutritional aspects of maintaining blood sugar stability. Regarding hormone replacement, she takes a one-size-fits-all approach, and doesn't listen to the patient's explanation of unique circumstances. If the patient demonstrates knowledge of the science in involved in her case (due to yrs of experience in other doctors' care), Dr. Sawyer will accuse the pt. of getting info off the internet. Combative.

THE WORST! Typical in& out - couldn't be bothered. RUSHES doesn't explain things clearly. I literally got an email "You're levels are correct. Stay on this dose". VAGUE and rude! I FEEL AWFUL and explained this Time and Time again. She does NOT listen. I asked her for specific thyroid blood panel test, she refused said I had to come for ANOTHER appt. WHAT FOR TO WRITE HER ANOTHER CHECK AND GET NO RESULTS! Save yourself the frustration. SHE DOES NOT CARE ENOUGH. She should resign!
