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.

Not only an excellent physician but a good man!
Dr Saway took time to question me about my symptoms and how it affects my daily life. He did a comprehensive exam in an effort to determine my level of function and took his time in deciding the best course of treatment. I feel very fortunate to have a physician that practices holistic medicine and offers multiple modalities of treatment, ie meds, exercise, behavior mod, infusions, etc. I highly recommend Dr Saway and I am sure you will enjoy the same level of care that I have received

I have found Dr. Saway to be a knowledgeable and very kind physician. My oncologist set me up with him and I have been very pleased. Dr. Saway has helped me when others could not. Thankful for him. He has a great nurse too!

The waiting time is sometimes Very long, but Dr. Saway is worth the wait. He is very good at his specialty. He gives time to his patients. He is best when he isn't too tired, so I recommend morning or early afternoon. I am being treated for an auto-immune disorder and would choose him as the most knowledgeable of my doctors.

Dr. Saway is one of the finest physicians I've ever dealt with and unfortunately I have seen many. He is kind and compassionate and always treats me the way he would a member of his own family. When he discovered I had Lupus he told me he will advise me the same way he would his wife. He is goes beyond the standard level of care and always delivers tough news in a gentle way. He and his staff also worked diligently to get me the financial aide to get my biologic medication Medicaid didn't cover.
