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.

Alaskan Ego
I was a patient of Dr. Saprykina's for over a decade. Everything was fine until I made a decision to seek treatment out of state. She then became very angry and "fired" me as a patient. I actually laughed out loud when I read that letter! Years later, when I was admitted to the ER for an unrelated condition, she refused to see me even though she was the on call OBGYN. Dr. Saprykina is unprofessional and unsupportive of patient needs. Be wary of Alaskan doctors who don't support your decision to seek safer and advanced treatment in the Lower 48. These doctors are suffering from the illusion that Alaska has the best healthcare available. Get on a flight to the Lower 48 and experience what it's like to work with highly trained physicians with expertise in patient care. It's worth the trip!

Dr. Saprynkina and her staff are absolutely phenomenal! She has been an amazing OB physician, going out of her way to ensure she personally delivered all three of my boys. Dr. Saprynkina has also provided exceptional care for my own personal gynecology issues. She and the entire staff at Denali OB/GYN are caring, courteous, patient, and thorough. Dr. Saprynkina had always ensured that I receive outstanding care, has never made me feel rushed, and takes the time to thoroughly discuss what my needs are, and how they can be resolved. I highly recommend her care and expertise and am grateful to be a patient of hers.

I have been seeing Dr. Saprykina for many years and recently had surgery. She has always and continues to take the time with me to answer questions. She is so kind, thoughtful and personable!

I asked to be referred to Dr. Saprykina and could not be happier. She explains everything she is going to do with the exam. The time she spent with me was more than any other provider I have seen. Above all, she is kind and supportive.She is what I evaluate on and that is Integrity, Sensitivity, and Intelligence and in that order.

Dr. saprykina is an EXCELLENT doctor and very kind person. I always feel she is working hard to help me feel the best I can with her caring personality.

I have been a patient of Dr Saprykina’s for 15 years and would highly recommend her.

I could never asked for a better doctor. Dr. Saprykina has been a strong, warm, encouraging and caring person during a very scary time in my life. She helped me through it all, making herself available whenever I had questions and has become a trusted friend. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a competent and skilled doctor. Thank you Dr. Saprykina for your care and I am blessed to know that I can count on you in my future!

This clinic taught me that doctors don't always know best, and it's up to the patient to do their own research. Always get a second or third opinion (preferably with out of state experts) before taking the advice of any doctors-especially at this clinic. A good doctor supports the decisions of their patients, even if it means that the patient must seek care elsewhere. I'm happy to report that I've found a new doctor who is both supportive and qualified to provide me with the care I need!
