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.

Outstanding Doctor . The Best. Sad to see him retire.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Saavedra?
While vacationing in Tucson last month, I suddenly saw constant light flashes and black floaters in my eye - as well, I had a black blind spot. Dr. Saavedra examined me and said all was fine, despite my telling him of a prior retinal detachment and all of my symptoms. Not believing all was well, I immediately saw another doctor....who said there were “huge” tears in my retina. He immediately performed laser surgery to prevent another detachment. If I had trusted Dr. Saavedra, I would have suffered a retinal detachment in that eye. Instead, I immediately saw another doctor, who repaired my “shredded” retina and prevented it. I’m sure Dr. Saavedra is a nice man, but he really missed a serious retina injury that may have cost me my sight.

Absolutely the most professional and knowledgeable specialist I have ever seen. He explains everything to me, is patient and thorough. His staff, from the front desk to the techs, are outstanding. This is one of the most efficient and well run medical office I have ever experienced.
