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. Saksena first treated my mother for cancer two years ago. She was very patient and took the time to answer any questions or concerns we had. My mother never felt rushed and Dr. Saksena genuinely cared about her health. Also, the office staff were friendly and helpful and made scheduling appointments easy. I was diagnosed with cancer this year and Dr. Saksena was warm and thorough. She explained everything in an accessible way and I never had any issues reaching out to her. She personally got back to me in a timely manner. I am very lucky to have an amazing doctor like Dr. Saksena care for me through the most difficult time of my life. She went above and beyond for both my mother and me. I highly recommend Dr. Saksena to all.

Dr. Saksena is truly kind and generous. She was very helpful and helped me tremendously throughout my visit as well as after my visit. The process was smooth moving forward and I couldn't thank Dr. Saksena enough for helping me with my concerns. She truly cares for her patients and I had no trouble reaching out to her with any problems I may have. Highly recommend!

Outstanding physician! I have been under her care for almost a year and have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Saksena. Cancer is scary for most, if not all, people and she makes the unexpected and dreaded diagnosis something that can be endured. She is patient, informative, caring, thorough, resourceful, and renders time that few doctors provide. Her chair/table side manner is exceptional.
As things would have it, my sister was diagnosed this year as well and is with a very highly ranked cancer hospital in Texas so we compare our notes constantly. The medical care that I have received from Dr. Saksena and her team has matched or exceeded this renown institution.
When you go through cancer, you need someone who knows what he/she is doing. Dr. Saksena knows what to do and when to do it. I highly recommend her and am confident that new patients will be equally pleased with her expertise and compassion.

Dr. Saksena has been a huge help to my wellbeing. I have Stage IV HER2 positive Breast Cancer. Im sure I wouldn't be here if it was not for her care and expertise in the Oncologic field of Medicine. She contemplates her plan of care and researches her knowledge to bring the most recent care breakthroughs.

Dr Saksena is extremely knowledgeable. This combined with her compassionate style and excellent communication makes for what I feel is the whole package when it comes to a good physician.
Being a registered nurse I tend to look at physicians with a more critical eye.
I have been a patient advocate in my profession for 40 years and hold myself and other healthcare professionals to a very high standard.
I would highly recommend Dr Saksena as a
treating physician... she is very kind and caring!

Laurie Sagaard – Nov 21, 2018
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Saksena?
In August 2018, I received the worst news of my life. After a chest X-Ray revealed I had large masses in my chest, an oncologist visited me. Even though Dr. Saksena was telling me that I most likely have cancer, specifically lymphoma, she was able to deliver the bad news in a way that made it seem like everything was going to be alright. It is her wonderful bedside manner and great personality that eventually led me to choose Overlook to be where I would be treated for Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Dr Saksena is amazing in so many different levels. You will never feel rushed in her care. She keeps you informed, updated and takes her time to address any and all of your concerns. I have never had an issue reaching out to her, she personally gets back to me or has her staff reach out in a timely matter. Her patients care is her priority and I have never doubted that.
