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.

Excellent and caring Doctor
I've been an allergy/respiratory patient for over 20 years, handled by various allergist/pulmonologists. Until my mother suggested Dr. Sazon. Dr. Sazon was able to control my coughing, which I dreamt for years. Wherein my other doctors have not done for me. She was also the one who led me to see a heart doctor, which I later found now that I have heart issues. I was passing all these cardio testings that were given to me that's why I never had a reason to see a cardiologist, until she forcedly recommended to see one.

Dr. Sazon’s staff are one of the nicest people one would ever find. They are efficient as well that they were able to get approval for my referral and scan in less than a week! Dr. Sazon is very knowledgeable and spent a long time with me explaining my lung problem and what we need to do. She made me comfortable and calmed my fears. She anwered all my questions patiently. I have never found a doctor so knowledgeable, professional, and caring. I am so thankful I was referred to Dr. Sazon!

I was referred to her after my doctor no longer took my insurance. My first appt. took about 3-4 hrs. Very small waiting room& most of the patience's were older and not1 was wearing a mask. Most of patience's were coughing a lot. The office was under staff. At times the doctor was not in office and no one knew where she was. I was in the waiting for my insurance to approve my gastric stomach surgery, later found out she holding back on approving it. Last appt. with her was 10-14-16. no call back
