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 had a parathyroidectomy with Dr. Saunders in July of 2018. Not only does he have an eyebrow-raising educational background, he has a uniquely-comforting bedside manner coupled with an impressive number of parathyroid surgeries that would make him an expert in the field. What I found equally impressive is that residents and others who work with him gave him continuously unsolicited praises, indicating their respect for him both personally and professionally. I had other appointments set wit

I was very anxious about surgery and he completly made me feel at ease!!! I would recommend him to anyone!!!

Dr Saunders is a very competent surgeon. He is patient and understanding with his patients. He never made me feel rushed, and answered all my questions. This is by far the best experience I've ever had with a surgeon, and I've had over 10 different surgeons I've dealt with. His follow up is the best I've ever had. I'm so thankful that surgeons like him still exist, you are not treated like a number with him. He shows a true caring and compassionate attitude toward his patients.
