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.

Amazing Doctor
Dr. Saucedo is an amazing doctor and with great knowledge of his field. He is very compassion with his patients, he is detail oriented and always spending time on explaining his findings in great details. He took time to find solutions for my daughter's arm issues and we are very grateful for him!

Excellent Experience
Dr. Saucedo and the entirety of his team have been amazing. From the front desk to his PA Alex I have felt prioritized. I have been having wrist issues for almost 2 years and previously had surgery. Dr. Saucedo and Alex always took the time to make sure I understood all of my options. They made me feel validated and as though I wasn’t exaggerating about my pain. I appreciated that I wasn’t pressured into surgery right away since I was trying to avoid it. Not until after we had exhausted all other alternatives did we discuss having to do surgery. Once the decision for surgery was made Dr. Saucedo and Alex went over everything with me in detail and clarified anything I didn’t understand. With every visit they always took whatever time I needed for questions and concerns and I didn’t feel as though I was being rushing us out the door. I would recommend Dr Saucedo to my family. You get 10 out of 10 stand up practice when you visit him.

Amazing Surgeon
Dr. Saucedo is an amazing surgeon and person. He performed surgery on my wife and it’s been a great experience. I work in healthcare and come across many physicians and he is one of only a few that I would refer my family to go see. Great bedside manner and his approach to the room during appointments is very comforting. You can immediately notice his care for his patients and wants to make sure that everything is done to make sure he gets optimal results. His PA, Alex is very knowledgeable and listens to the concerns and explains the game plan towards the approach that they will take during surgery. You couldn’t ask for a better duo to have take care of your family member in the OR. He truly wants his patients to be happy and I am grateful that he was able to perform surgery on my wife. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Our son broke his hand and Dr. Saucedo saw him quickly, was extremely thorough, walked us through all the options, and went out of his way to follow-up several times and made sure everything was healing properly. His attention to detail and care for his patients is unmatched.

Absolutely above the call
Dr. Saucedo was not on call that came to the hospital to see my injury and arranged to take me into surgery within an hour to help save any nerve damage and restore the full use of my index finger. I cannot thank him enough and would recommend him to anyone. He has done a fabulous job with the surgery and post care as well. A great doctor, and an even better person whom I'd trust with all of my care.

Second to none!
After a minor injury, that was seemingly fine and written off by urgent care. I reached out to Dr Saucedo when I had continued swelling and pain. Even though he was out of the office at the time, he made sure I got to see someone right away. It required emergency surgery that he was there for. He maintained a personal touch afterwards to make sure I was healing properly. All along the care was superb, and I always felt well taken care of. Dr. Saucedo and his staff made sure I felt comfortable and informed, given the circumstances, and took great care of me. Thank you.

What a Doctor!
Dr. Saucedo performed my wrist surgery using a plate and 7 screws several months ago. I'm 75 years old and have never had a broken bone. I was extremely traumatized by my accident, scared beyond words. Dr. Saucedo was so gentle that he was able to calm me down both during the office visit and before surgery. He even took my injured hand and prayed for me before surgery which helped me greatly. Needless to say, his office and bedside manner are both incredible. This surgery has allowed me to return to using my hand, even with a cane, like before the broken wrist. I'm thrilled! Of course, I recommend Dr. Saucedo to anyone who needs a surgeon who truly cares about them and performs perfect surgery. He gave my life back to me restoring my ability to take care of myself and that makes Dr. Saucedo my hero.

Dr. Saucedo is and incredibly knowledgeable and caring doctor. Not only did Dr. Saucedo take his time to diagnose the problem I was experiencing in both of my hands in great detail, but he also made sure I understood the options available for treatment. Dr. Saucedo listened to all of my concerns and put me at ease regarding which treatment would be best for me. I am so very thankful for his expertise - one of the best doctor's I have been attended by in a long time!

Frustrated and in pain
After waiting over a month for an appointment in drove 45 min because his website says he’s still 5 min away - not true he is only going n the woodlands. So I wait the month and go toMy appointment today. When I got there the desk said they couldn’t see me because I cancelled my appointment. I said absolutely not - I can’t sleep - am in constant pain and have waited quite some time. They said they had an auto system set up and sometimes it makes errors. I said I didn’t cancel an itIs important I see him. They said come back mid April - I can not explain why my response was to cry - maybe because I’ve been counting the days til I get some relief, or because I amIncredibly frustrated- tired of the pain and not sleeping. I think u should have worked me in - your office made itQuite clear you couldn’t care less for patients. INCREDIBLE “why did you want to be a doctor?

Amazing person
Dr. Saucedo is an amazing person. He is the kindest dr. I have ever had. He did surgery to fix my thumb and my thumb is doing great. We did run into complications with my wrist and he is now doing everything he can to take care of it. I love going to his office to see him. He makes you feel like you are his only patient. He is so caring. I highly recommend him.

Surgery on my Left Middle Finger
Dr. Saucedo and his staff were warm, friendly and so very helpful in discussing the hand surgery that I required. He put me at ease in reviewing the details and requirements in advance of the surgical procedure. They were very flexible with my work requirements in scheduling the office visits and surgery date. I never waited more than 3-5 min in the waiting room as they seemed to always be on schedule. That alone speaks volumes in the care and concern (not overbooking like many Drs do!) he has for his patients. The surgery went as planned and just had the stitches removed today. All is good and I am so very pleased with the service and care that I received. Would highly recommend Dr. Saucedo for any hand or wrist surgery that you may require.

Expert Care
Dr. Saucedo was very attentive and took the time to go over all of my questions and then after answering my questions, asked again if I had any questions to make sure he did not miss anything. Dr. Saucedo explained all of my options and while he recommended a course of action, Dr. Saucedo made it clear it was my choice and he did not want to do anything that I was not comfortable with. Dr. Saucedo made me and my family feel at ease and he explained everything in a way I could understand.

Dr Saucedo did surgery on my right hand in sept.2021. I returned for my left hand in sept.22. Dr Saucedo is everything a patient would look for. Personal, professional and highly knowledgeable. He took care of my pain instantly and educated me on my problem removing all fears from me. I would recommend him to anyone needing a Haand Specialist. Thank you Dr. Saucedo. You are God's gift to us.
