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.

Knowledgeable and helpful
Dr. Sayess was professional. She quickly assessed my condition and suggested helpful treatment, which incorporated both, conventional and lifestyle medicine approaches. She was personable and knowledgeable. I would gladly see her again.

Fixated on weight loss and nutrition
I have been seeing Dr.Sayess on and off for two years after my previous doctor retired. Despite multiple conversations, she continued to speak to me about weight loss, diet, carb and calorie counting even though I have documented on my chart and discussed with her my history of disordered eating. The first time, I gave it a pass but it’s now been three times. She also focused solely on supplements and exercise and was only helpful in referring me to specialists who eventually found a medication regimen for my chronic pain. She often appeared overwhelmed by my case and provided little helpful guidance on how to proceed. She also has begun discussing nutrition regarding my child in a way that I feel is unhealthy and doesn’t line up with what I have learned and been told by other medical professionals. I will be speaking to patient relations but also wanted to provide this grade.

Dr. Sayess treated me when I was on Holiday to NH with my wife. I found her to be extremely thorough and she had great bedside manor. She took the time to understand and explain the issue. If she was in Private practice I would consider her as my Primary Care Physician.
