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.

Kind, caring, patient and great bedside manner!
Wonderful! I took my 78 year old mother to see Dr. Saunders as a new patient. My mother is a breast cancer survivor and her oncologist told her to see a gynecologist due to a possible fibroid like finding on a CT scan. My mother was understandably nervous that her cancer had spread. Dr. Saunders was thorough and compassionate, while making my mother very comfortable. She took plenty of time to explain why she did not think it was cancer and also explained again to me, after bringing me back. She also called my mother at home the same day to tell her she had looked back at her old scans to see that the fibroid had been there for a while and was not a new finding by the oncologist. My mother and I were very appreciative of her personalized and compassionate care. I highly recommend her.

How rude... she actually made a joke about my condition. In the matters of my health or my childrens health i dont think it is funny NOR should I be the subject of her humor. THis is the most non professional doctor I have ever seen.

Acted like I was doing her a favor by being a patient. Spent zero time listening and jst nodded ansers to my questions. If I take time off work to see a doctor I expect the doctor to take the time to go over the reason I went for.

Never go to her. When I was having my baby, she left the country without telling me for 10 days over my due date. Never listened to my desires of a birth plan. When I went to the hospital with contractions no one would take care of me because she never left directions with anyone else how to treat me. The nurses were all laughing at me at the med center. Mocking me. She’s rude, condescending, dismissive and caused me to suffer severely from post pardum depression. Her staff is angry and mean.

Her bedside matter is excellent. However was misdiagnosed, causing me to be prescribed an incorrect medication, leading to a surgery, costing me an unaffordable medical bill. I will never go to this person or recommend her to any family, friend or foe.
