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. Savitz is Amazing
There are not enough positive words in our vocabulary to describe Dr. Savitz. She is a very genuine and kind and compassionate person. She listens and supports the decisions that you make. She is a phenomenal surgeon. She diagnosed and facilitated another surgery that had to be done before prior to the surgery that she was performing. It was a roller coaster ride that I was so happy to have her join me on. I couldn't have done it without her support. My surgery and recovery were easy. She was always quick to respond to any questions that I had. Thank you Dr. Savitz for being the wonderful doctor that you are.

She is the best surgeon for me! She explained to me very well my condition and my treatment options in the way that I can fully understand it. Dr. Savitz projects a very professional and yet positive personality. She always have the smile in her face, I know this because when I saw her while i was in the pre-op room, she jus came out from the OR and yet she smiled at me. She will giggle with me all the time. She can take away my worries by providing me with all the good news instead of focusing on another issues/problems. I had a great experience with Dr. Savitz. She always responds in my inquiries and request, at anytime. She responds very quick! During my visit, we have decided to do the lumpectomy, and when i woke up, i was really surprised that there’s almost nothing have changed in my breast! I really love Dr. savitz, she does very well her profession and she is passionate on her work. She is really the best surgeon, a great advocate and partner in my care. Thank you so much!!!

Dr. Savitz is an very skillful surgeon with decades of experience. She is very knowledgable and compassionate. While I was under her care, she was very thorough and informed me of my pathology findings every step of the way and provided best options based on the findings. I felt I was cared for and listened to.

Dr. Savitz is one of a kind. She cares deeply for her patients and spend the time you need to chat through your diagnosis and treatment options. Nurses would comment how much they enjoyed working with her & well after my time in her care as a breast cancer patient, other doctors would comment on her clean lines & asked if she was a plastic surgeon. You should feel confident if you are in her care.
