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.

Excellent GP
Dr. Saunders has always provided insightful and thorough care no matter what health issues I have dealt with.

Knowledgeable and friendly
I have been a patient of Dr. Saunders for many years. He is friendly, helpful and he knows his stuff. Some time ago, I became part of his concierge program giving me 24-7 access to his wisdom and council. He and his staff go above and beyond the normal expectations including providing transportation to the hospital when I was in serious need. I am sure that no one really likes going to doctor appointments, but Steve's appointments are ok. He is extremely knowledgeable about diabetes and weight loss and has worked wonders with my situation. I appreciate all he and his staff have done.--KSO

Dr. Saunders is the epitome of the highest professional standards for a doctor. He has saved my husband's life on more than one occasion with his thorough annual physicals and never leaves a medical questioned unanswered. He is knowledgeable, reassuring (even during difficult medical situations), kind, caring, truly personable, and a remarkable man who puts his patients first. He has always been available to us and during visits always takes his time and makes you feel like you are the only patient for that day. He never rushes you and answers all inquiries to the point he is sure you have a complete understanding of the medical information he has shared with you. His telemed visits are exemplary and just seeing his smiling face, really puts one at ease, especially during these times of Covid. He is at the top of his game always and over the years we have come to regard him as a very special part of our family. He is a blessing to us and we are so grateful to be his patients.

My cardiologist recommended Dr. Saunders in May of 2019. My experiences with Dr. Saunders and the staff have exceeded my expectations. Thorough, friendly, professional, AND a good sense of humor! A recent issue with my lower back was diagnosed and after a referral for excellent P.T. the severe pain has been relieved! I love the GIANT interactive screen in the waiting rooms to explore 3D human anatomy and diseases! Staff is regularly disinfecting surfaces and the office feels very COVID safe! I highly recommend Dr. Saunders.

Dr. Saunders is professional, friendly, transparent (i.e., honest when he does not know or there is no good answer), in short, a pleasure to do business with. In life, it does not matter what you have, it matters who you are with. He is on the A-team.
