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.

Compassionate, honest and attentive doctor
Dr. Sara Loetscher makes sure all concerns are covered during my visit and through messages to the office. She remembers my last visit and is shares observations of what changes she notices. Because of her honest and direct communication-style, I feel confident in trusting she will give me the best options available to address and treat any health issues am facing. She gives such down-to-earth, excellent and wholistic care, I feel she does her very best to make sure I heal, thrive and stay well.

I went to Dr. Loetscher for years in Albuquerque. I miss her so much. I have never been able to find a doctor here that is as caring and compassionate. You’re fortunate to have her there!

Dr. Loetscher is a very compassionate, thorough practitioner who takes time to get to know and talk with her patients beyond just medical issues. I give her my strongest recommendation, with no hesitation whatsoever.

I have a complex medical history. Dr Loetscher actually read my files prior to our first visit. She did research between visits. She caught an issue with weight loss in the months I was recovering from surgery. He referrals led to avoiding unnecessary surgery, but a need to adjust medications to prevent further surgery. She set up frequent visits to become familiar with all my conditions. She has a Nursing Case Manager for patients with serious chronic conditions. She listens, answers questions, and will discuss options or explain her reason for a specific treatment, or not using a treatment. She is an extremely qualified and excellent doctor!

Dr. Loetscher is kind, understanding and willing to listen. She asks just the right questions - and then discusses options. She's willing to suggest an over-the-counter product; something that solved a problem for me almost immediately. She looks at me as a "seasoned" person - not someone "old"!
