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.

Beware! Don't risk your life.
My mom is in the hospital because of the neglect of this practice. They do not respond to calls sometimes for days, sometimes not at all. After 40 years as a patient, you would think there would be some loyalty...but no. Seniors beware!

I have been seeing Dr. Sawelson for a number of years. He takes all the necessary time time to explain his concerns. He will now be my PCP and I am so pleased. He wants me to live to be 100.

dr Sawelson was referred to me by my primary care physician. he and his staff were very knowledgable and helpful. his nurse practitioner is excellent. she has a wonderful bedside manner and really females you feel at ease. my primary care doctor retired after 30 years of service to mr and my family members. since I still suffer with high blood pressure, (managed well by dr Sawelson and Jane hickory) I am planning to return to dr sawelson's care. I hope he is still taking new patients.
