Extremely friendly & courteous team. Doctor was very thorough and did much of exam himself. Explained everything to me. Highly recommend

I’ve seen Dr. Sawcer before and he’s always very thorough, helpful and knowledgeable. He answers any questions and will do his best to ensure you understand and are satisfied. The one issue is that Zocdoc had me as self-pay instead of including all my insurance info I entered online; thankfully the doctor’s office caught the error in time.

The doctor is thorough, pleasant. professional, timely and engaging. So far, whatever he's cut off, never grew back. Must be a darn fine Dermatologist. Best of all, he sees things I don't. I point at evil looking dark black growths and he says, "That is just a ---------- and nothing to worry about". Meanwhile he stops and ponders a slight discoloration in my forehead and marks it. Three weeks later I find it was skin cancer, and all removed. Now that's what you want in a Dermatologist!
