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.

I will NEVER recommend Dr. Sawyer or AZ Dgstv Hlth
The first time I met Dr. Sawyer was 5 minutes before my colonoscopy. He can have any political beliefs of his choice, but, he walked in to shake my hand and his first words were, 'All lives matter'. He may have thought this appropriate but this was during the 'Black Lives Matter' promotions and, I am white, but felt this comment from a man who doesn't know me at all, was EXTREMELY INAPPROPRIATE. A year later, I had an episode of a large amount of blood pouring from my rectum and I was vomiting. I called his office to see him and was told the first available appointment was in 2 months. I asked to see another doctor in the practice and was told that I was not allowed to schedule with someone else as he was my doctor. They transferred my call to his PA and I left a message for her. She called me back hours later and told me she could see me on Monday--this was the Wednesday before and I had been bleeding over 24 hours. I wound up going to the ER and was admitted to the hospital!

Dr Sawyer is one of ge “good ones”!
Dr Sawyer is one of a vanishing group of doctors that care more about their patients’ well being and good health than complying with all of the restrictions imposed by the medical bureaucracy! He’s been my GI doctor for more than 30 years!

Compassionate and caring GI Guy
I've seen Dr. Sawyer for 3 or 4 times in the past year and find him to be kind, compassionate and a great listener. He knows his stuff and I'd highly recommend him.

Dr. Sawyer reviewed my medical history in advance of our appointment and explained his concerns. He requested that I get approval from my cardiologist before scheduling my colonoscopy explaining the importance of their clearance. The colonoscopy went well with no side effects and the staff contacted me before, immediately after and a week following the procedure. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Sawyer and Arizona Digestive Health.
