    How was your appointment with Dr. Saway?

    Jun 29, 2022
    Dr Saway took time to question me about my symptoms and how it affects my daily life. He did a comprehensive exam in an effort to determine my level of function and took his time in deciding the best course of treatment. I feel very fortunate to have a physician that practices holistic medicine and offers multiple modalities of treatment, ie meds, exercise, behavior mod, infusions, etc. I highly recommend Dr Saway and I am sure you will enjoy the same level of care that I have received
