Dr. Saunders is a rare doctor. Cut from the old style doctor patient mentality, you are not just a number when you visit him. He takes his time to understand your issues, listens carefully and makes extremely intelligent diagnosis. He continues to work with you and is compassionate about your issues. He is quick to respond to all your MyChart questions and will work with you to ensure you are maintaining health. You shop around until you find a doctor like him for quite some time.

Instead of rushing, Dr. S. listens to the patient and gathers the facts and is through in making a diagnosis. I keep returning even though I have moved and there are other physicians closer to my current home.

I always come away feeling like he earned his money. Guess he was an A student in medical school, lol. If he can't make an immediate diagnosis, he doesn't guess. He will do tests. Did you ever go to a dr who listened to your complaints and say "it's a virus"? He is not one of them. I have complete confidence in him.

I'm "up there" in years & have seen countless physicians. Dr. Saunders is far & away the best of them all. His bedside manner is reminiscent of doctors from "the old days" in that he truly cares about his patients & takes his time with you. He actually listens to his patients, is never dismissive & is very accurate with his diagnoses. He really is the best doctor I've ever had.
