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.

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Saxena for 15 years. He is thorough, patient and very knowledgeable.

Dr Saxena has been my doctor since the’90s and you CANNOT find a better doctor. If not for his preventive health care measures I seriously doubt I’d be alive, June 2020. JH Bass

Surprised he is still practing rushes you out after a wait of 50 to 65 min. Too many offices equals long wait and quicker. Staff gets paid no matter how:you are treated or lied to Y

Medicine the way it used to be! Dr. Saxena actually listens to his patients. He treats them as individuals, he doesn't just look at the age or treat just symptoms. He doesn't just throw medication at a situation. If you have to wait a bit in his waiting room, you can be assured he is giving someone the time they need, just as he will do for you when its your turn. WORTH the wait. His vision for practicing medicine, his genuine love for people, pursuit of excellence, and ethics are qualities you seldom see any more.

The guy's a first class a-hole who cares more about his investments than the well-being of his patients.

Dr. Saxena is a great doctor and I would recommend him to anyone in my family. I have been going to him for over 14 years and I am glad I found him. How do you thank someone that has saved your life.

No respect for time. Orders study after study (after separate office visits). Typical visit is over 1.5 hours. Once seen at 1115 for a 815 appointment. Staff seems to know appointment times are a joke. I believe he cares, but has extremely inefficient operation. My time is also valuable and should be respected.

I'm an RN. He was kind & listened but wrote a script for pain (other Dr told me to see him & seek injections) - then refused to re-write it citing that he was a cardiologist, didnt even bother (after waiting 90 minutes) to come tell me himself, PA didnt introduce I went home without being seen or treated. Office and ancillary staff as a whole unit leave much to be desired- I liked my Dr ok but the overall experience horrible! I got kicked out of the practice for complaining of bad treatment.

Dr Saxena is fantastic, you might have to wait a while because he spends time with his patients, and he has emergency patients coming in during the day that need help, but when its you turn he will always spend time with you to answer all you questions. He is the best doctor that I have ever had, I trust him 100%.

Dr Saxena is very thorough with all his patients. When we move from Washington DC and saw a few cardiologists in the area, we really got impressed with Dr Saxena's knowledge and correct diagnosis and treatment. The waiting time sometimes is longer than expected but I can say is 100% worth it.

Dr. Saxena is thorough and gives freely of his time to answer all questions and to treat you as a whole person, not just giving a single diagnosis or dispensing medication as the only solution. He shows genuine concern and a desire to do all he can do for you as your doctor.

The office staff doesn't care about time...they don't even apologize for being hours past your appointment or even acknowledge it will be a long wait. Even if you scheduled appointment a month out, you still won't be seen on time....not even close to time. Everyone is pushed into a sleep study.
