Dr. Margaret Sterrett Sawyer, MD

Family member has received mediocre care. Most recently, g-tube cath procedure scheduled only to be cancelled after 3 hours in pre-op because her office supplied the incorrect size tube. No apology. Just complacency...which seems to be the only consistency provided. Family members g-tube is their life line and only means of nutrition. We will be finding a new doctor. Too many chances have been given.

She might be a good surgeon But would not return calls? She's the one who done the surgery not her receptionist and I need answers about my surgery?

A family member was in the ER two days in a row with a g tube issue (Dr Sawyer had done the insertion). This family member was sent home without being seen (and an 8 hour wait) based on "tests". Back in the er the next day only to be sent home AGAIN without being seen until I became involved. I believe she reluctantly agreed to see this patient and then realized she should have done so the day before. Gastric Acid was oozing out from around the tube severely burning the skin, ultimately resulting in a visit to the wound clinic the following week. The result - a patient in severe pain for days only because the "tests" showed nothing wrong. Sometimes a visual assessment is required. Nursing staff should have demanded it.

I had surgery to fix a small perforation and for diverticulitis. Dr. Sawyer did a fantastic job. I healed quickly and would recommend her to anyone needing to have this surgery. It's like I have a whole new life again. I don't have to worry about where the closest bathroom is before I decide to go out anywhere. I have been hospitalized at least 3-4 times for a week at a time with diverticulitis. After the internal swelling went down and I had my surgery I have a great outlook on life. If you are researching to find a Doctor to do surgery, give her a call.
