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.

Arrogant and racist Doctor.
I went to see Dr. Gary Saff and it was the worse experience in my life. He made horrible comments about my ethnicity, then treated me like I was a stupid idiot. Dr. Gary Saff truly believes he’s God. He’s a terrible, terrible Doctor.

disappointing
I walked out after 45 minutes after told I wound have to wait about another hour. Most uncomfortable waiting room chairs for a pain doctor. Can’t comment on service as no desire to start a relationship with a doctor who runs his office that way.

Dr.Gary, Just a quick note to say thank you for referring Luis Mejia to me for a physical therapy evaluation. He was extremely thorough and very professional. Easy to talk to and he explained what he was doing and what he found. I never have had an exam as complete as his exam and evaluation. thanks again Jay .

The number for Dr. Saff office was listed as a Tricare participant. Naturally we contact his office, but the first response we received is “oh you must be with tricare” as if we made some big mistake contacting his office. Dr. Saffs staff then went on to give me the "appropriate" number for a tricare provider. I called the "correct" office, only to find out that we were given a prank phone number. I looked up the office address For Dr. Saff and drove down to speak to the office manager. After politely asking to speak with the office manager to inform them about the distasteful “joke” of referring veteran patients in need of care to prank phone numbers, I was informed that the office manager would not make time to discuss this matter because "she was in a meeting". I certainly hope that its not Dr. Saff intent to run his practice in this manner, however he is a reflection of the staff he hires. Future patients and fellow veterans beware. Do not recommend

I was referred to Dr. Saff for lumber pains. I waited for approx an hour and 30 mins in the lobby an additional 25 mins before I was seen. When I was finally seen I was told that I can be given an epidural for my pain, I was not comfortable with this method as the problem will still exist. He was not happy with my decision and made comments that made me uncomfortable. I have never felt this way during a doctors visit and will not be going back.

He is the worst Dr. To go to!!! Do not go to him, he does not care about your pain. He only wants to get your money. He gave me injections and the next day I was in worse pain and he gave me nothing for the pain! He told me to go somewhere else!! I wish I never went to him!!!!
