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.

Extremely meticulous and professional. Dr. Sable came highly recommended from a friend who happens to be a health care professional. Dr. Sable and her staff were very professional at every step of the process. Dr. Sable was particularly thorough and compassionate in her explanation of the findings from the procedure.

Dr. Sable has been my doctor since I had my first colonoscopy at age 50. She was diligent in my condition as I had to have a repeat colonoscopy after 6 months and once a year thereafter for a few years, graduated to 3 years and finally to 5 years. I am now 71 years. Thank you and to your staff. Best wishes on your coming retirement.

I recently had my first colonoscopy and while the experience by it's very nature is unpleasant, Dr. Sable and her wonderful team of nurses at the The Glen Endoscopy Center made it an easy and dare I say pleasant experience. Highly recommend Dr. Sable and the center.

I have been using Dr. Sable for colonoscopies and endoscopies for 25+ years. She has been excellent at evaluating my health in those areas. I have never had an uncomfortable or bad experience with her or her staff. I recommend her and her staff to anyone and I would feel I had given them a better experience then they might have with another Dr.

I called Dr Sables office in severe pain and diahrea.I knew something was terribly wrong. Dr Sable offered me a 3 month appointment and didn't care if I got urgent care or not. It took me 5 days to find another practice that would see me asap. Turns out I have acute diverticulitis, which can be life threatening. Thanks a lot for nothing Dr Karen Sable.!! I would not recommend her to anyone.
