Love Dr.Sawyer. He is the best doctor I’ve had. He takes the time the listen and addresses all your concerns. He never rushes you through your appointments like most physicians do because they have to get as many patients seen. My husband and I really appreciate him and his stafff.

I drove to Dr. Sawyer's office for a lower stomach pain. By time I got to his office, the pain was quite severe. Rather than waiting for an ambulance to take me to the hospital, he and his head nurse pushed me in a wheelchair (about one hundred yards) to the hospital. I was later diagnosed with a kidney stone. I was extremely impressed with Dr. Sawyer's care and concern. He's been our family doctor for around thirty years and has always put his patients first. Our community is extremely fortunate to have a top-notch physician.
