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.

Dr. S-S is always attentive, thorough, knowledgeable, and excellent at problem solving. She has been my doctor for 5 years, and I feel very lucky to have her as my doctor.

The best pcp I ever had. She was recommended by a friend. On the very first visit she discovered an enlarged lymph node that led to the diagnosis of recurrent breast cancer.. Unlike other pcp's I have had, she is very thorough and goes over ever detail. She may have saved my life.

I am 58 years old, and recently switched doctors. I ended up with Dr. Saelinger-Shafer based on recommendations of three friends. She is the best doctor I have ever had. Completely thorough, knowledgeable, follows up, takes her time. She requested to see all of my previous blood work ordered from previous doctors. Then she took the time to look it over and called me personally because she had detected a problem. A problem not detected by my previous doctors.She is a top quality doctor.
