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.

She was extremely thoughtful and thorough. One of the best experiences we’ve had with a doctor. She noticed things in the chart that hadn’t been followed up on by other doctors and made sure they were taken care of.

She was very thorough. She explained everything to me. And she showed she truly cares about her patients. I am brand new and I feel that she will support me moving forward with my medical needs.

She is arrogant and supercilious and does not listen. She made the diagnosis as soon as I sat down and she was wrong. In spite of that I don’t doubt her competency but will not see her again. These specialists eventually start thinking they are more important than their patients.

Disgruntled former patient – Oct 22, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Saxena?
She made a diagnosis before opening the door. She did not read all the paperwork I filed out. I had to beg for more testing. She did not even get back to me for over a month after testing was complete. No further recommendations for symptoms that STILL persist!

I thought she was kind of abrupt and did not really listen to what I had to say. I felt like I had to keep explaining things and still did not get the sense that she listened at all to what I had to say. She seems competent, though.
