Patient Reviews
Apr 14, 2023
I am a Physician myself (Urologist). I had a very bad experience with another G-I specialist and was seeing Dr. Savides as a second opinion (telemedicine). I was so impressed: great personality, good listener, knowledgeable, thorough, explains things well, and very reassuring. I feel so much better since seeing him. If I could, I would give the Doctor 6 stars!!
