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 and all the staff at the Stony Brook office are at the top of their game. The front desk, pre screening team, Dr. Saunders, the NP’s and the secretaries are all attentive, knowledgeable, caring and very professional. They don’t rush you in and out and carefully explain every step. They and Dr. Saunders return phone calls promptly and always follow up to ensure they are providing you with the right plan to get the desired results. They all do their jobs with great care and respect for the patient. A true pleasure to deal with everyone at this office. They were recommended to me by family who feel the same as I do. We all feel very lucky to have Dr. Saunders and this office providing us with excellent medical care.

I am elderly with high blood pressure. Dr Saunders is a very caring physician who actually calls me in person to discuss any blood work that has been done be it good or bad. Sometimes at 7pm. The last time he told me to enjoy my yearly jaunt to Florida. He is the best. His staff from receptionist to the nurses are extremely nice.
