“I can’t say enough things about my visit with Dr. Saunders today. I have been to two different dermatologist and to urgent care for my skin problem. Dr. Saunders took the time to listen to me and really do some research and figure out what is going on and how to help me. It was so nice to feel like I was heard and that I wasn’t just dismissed. I will definitely be using him as my dermatologist from now on? His attention to help me make me feel like he really cared and wanted to send me out of his office feeling like there was hope instead of discouragement.”

“Dr. Saunders is a wonderful physician. I am so grateful I found him. As a woman with anxiety and ADHD, I tend to feel dismissed and under treated by doctors, but not Dr. Saunders. He is attentive. Communicative. And comforting. The world needs more doctors like Dr. Saunders. Thank you! ”

Dr Saunder’s was awesome. I have never felt fully understood and heard when it comes to my anxiety, even by therapists. It was so easy and he just got it. Normally I have a lot of anxiety at the doctor, however I felt incredibly calm and comfortable with the staff and Dr Saunder’s. He even went out of his way to show me the lab where I would come to get my blood drawn. Great doctor and looking forward to him being my primary care provider.
