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.

Danger to TOS community
Dr Saylor performed thoracic outlet syndrome surgery on me. He performed a scalenectomy and a rib resection. I trusted him after he did the same surgery for a Twins pitcher. Immediately after surgery I had complications. I had to fly to Baylor Heart & Vascular center and have a revision surgery. Dr Saylor left part of my rib in my body, didnt properly decompress my arm and damaged my brachial plexus. I will have pain forever because of him. My surgeon at Baylor sent a letter explaining what should have been done better and it was dismissed. He is a danger to the TOS community.

I recently underwent colon cancer surgery performed by Dr Saylor. I was referred to him after having a colonoscopy which revealed the tumor. I met him for consultation and felt reassured by his comfortable and professional mannerism. He is personable, informative, and most assuredly experienced in his field. The surgery went well and fortunate for me the cancer had not spread. My discharge instructions were also clear. I would highly recommend Dr Saylor .
