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.

Dr. Saunders and her team are amazing!
Having worked with Dr. Saunders, Maria and the team at Dr. Aronne's office for many many years, I must say how overjoyed I am to write about my weight loss and continuing progress. The support they provide, the guidance and the weight management is all right there in one compassionate and caring office. 100lbs later, I am proud to say, Dr. Saunders is my Dr.

Fabulous doctor!
Dr. Saunders has explained the weight gain in my second half of life and how to help me maintain a healthy weight. She has also helped with symptoms caused by menopause. Truly feel blessed to finally have some answers.

Compassionate & Caring
Dr. Saunders projects a happy aura on every appointment I’ve had with her, which started about 4 years ago. She dedicates as much time as needed and will not rush your visit, leaving you with a sense of empathy and caring for your well being. I recommend her 200% to anyone who is seriously interested in reaching a healthier body.

Obesity Management Rock Star with Empathy
If you are like me, the first time you visit Dr. Saunders you arrive as someone who has lost the battle with obesity and may feel utterly defeated. You will leave her office with a completely different outlook. She combines extraordinary scientific knowledge of the latest treatments with a unique ability to understand what it means to a patient to have obesity. For the first time in my life, she told me obesity was not my fault. She explained my metabolic and psychological profile and how she could help me. Unlike any other physician--she told me that if I had any difficulties (e.g. gaining a few pounds) that I should contact her ASAP (in the past I would have hidden that from my doctor). If you want to lose weight and keep it off for good---do whatever it takes to get an appointment with Dr. Saunders or her team--she is well worth the wait. For the first time in my life, I feel in control of my weight and have a good relationship with food.
