Nov 16, 2022
Dr. Sawyer continues to be a good shepherd of health for me, on this life journey of "maturation." He is caringly direct in his assessment of what is ailing me, while also providing an informed perspective on the health problem I'm experiencing. He sees me as a fellow human being, whom he will do his best to assist. With the treatment and counsel he shares comes our obligation to comply. I've indeed been Blessed in having his supportive presence for more than a decade of my life.
