Be very aware of the modus operandis, if you go to even one appointment he will schedule upcoming appointments without your consent, then wait a few years and calls charging $300 per no show appointment, and if you did cancel an appointment previously scheduled and leave a voicemail, for him doesn’t count; even when he doesn’t have a receptionist or nothing, finally he sends you to collections near Christmas and offers you an arrangement plan for the half. Many people have called him out in many others website. Please be aware you are facing a financial problem going even to one single appointment.

Dr. Saavedra is a kind and gentle man who has helped me a lot. It was pretty easy to get an appointment with him and I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes for him - amazing for a doctor's office. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

People be careful!!! He makes you fail appointments cancelling them.He is not a good doctor, he is always looking the clock to finish session and it is very disagreeable. And months later if you finish appointment with him you will receive creditors claims asking you to pay for missing appointments and more. He does not give you receipt of payments.So it hard to explain the creditors he is a big TIMADOR.It has been an unpleasant experience. I still paying 150 of a total of 500% to creditor claims.It is a horrible experience Be aware!!!!
