Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very rushed and uninterested in what I had to say. Pretty sure he gave me some just totally inaccurate information. Don't waste your time.

Dr. Sarne is excellent. He listens. When I told him I was sensitive to medication, he started me on a low dose, rather than simply disregard what I said. He's no nonsense and knows what he's doing. He knew to keep me on the medication I was taking rather than quickly taking me off. He also closely monitored my condition and knew when to adjust my dose. I was suffering so much with my thyroid and am now close to remission in a short time, thanks to his genius. Highly recommend!

Arrogant, inpatient, and downright rude. Always cut me off while I talked. Wanted to prescribe different medications without any blood test done first. My bill was ridiculously high. Waste of time.

I was anxious to get into Dr. Sarne asap as my blood work came back confirming that I was extremely hypothyroid symptomatic. Dr. Sarne hardly gave me 10 minutes of his time, was short with me and was uninterested in listening to my symptom complaints. He suggested I switch medications and when I asked for details on that medication he didn’t have anything to say and was unwilling to discuss options. He stood up and was walking out the door within 10 minuted. Don’t waste your time with him.
