Patient Reviews
May 29, 2021
Took my elderly mother for an appointment...this physician was the most kind and caring individual I’ve witnessed in quite some time. Doctors can be ‘hit or miss’ with bedside manner...Dr. Sawyers set the bar incredibly high in this category. He was so knowledgeable, and didn’t rush through the appointment...it felt like a visit with a friend. Elderly memory care requires compassion, and patience...we will be sticking with Dr. Sawyers. He was amazing!!
