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 have been his patient of Dr. Saxena for about 5 years now and I have nothing but amazing things to say about him. He is extremely knowledgable and thorough, making sure to answer any questions and never rush through appointments. His compassion and exceptional bedside manner are a true testament to how much he cares for his patients. If all doctors were like Dr. Saxena, the world would be a much better place. I consider myself lucky to be his patient and truly cannot recommend him enough! I am forever grateful to Dr. Saxena and his staff for the wonderful care they continue to provide me.

The best rheumatologist there is
Dr.Saxena changed my life. Dr.Saxena is beyond thorough in his blood work, explains every single detail any patient would need to know, incredibly kind and appropriate bedside manner, but most of all - reachable! Messages me back quickly and swiftly even on weekends. Allows the patient to make the best choices for themselves while providing his expertise. I will never find a better doctor than Dr.Saxena!

Simply the Best
There aren't enough words to describe Dr. Saxena. Apart from being the most knowledgeable and thorough physician, he is so caring and kind. You will truly feel that your best friend or family member rooting for your best health is treating you when you see him. He is very young, so my only hope is that his knowledge is being shared with new physicians to ensure that all folks can receive this unique and personal 'I'm here for you, I'm rooting for you' treatment. One thing that sets him apart from others is that he takes time to explain everything. You will learn so much about your condition, your options and he's always a phone call away. Our family is thankful to have him.

Excellent doctor! Really took the time to explain things and made sure the patient (me) understood the condition, treatment plan, and what to expect. Provided follow up quickly. Genuinely cares for patient wellbeing, and is overall a nice guy. Extremely knowledgeable, astute and well-trained physician when it comes to lupus, and has a profound understanding of the disease and how to manage it.

He's the best doctor I've ever had. He calls to explain my labs, is patient with my question, and I truly believe he cares. It's also great to learn about all of his research and how I'm able to participate and support the great work he does for all lupus patients.
