I’m from out of town and caught the flu right before a 10 day cruise and they fit me right in!! Fantastic service and handled my prescriptions quickly!!! Thank you!!
Dr. Savage is very personable and knows how to hold a conversation. He's kind, and has a congenial demeanor when he sees you. As many said, he's got a tendency to go on a tangent a bit on subjects outside of medicine, but all in all a good guy.

Very knowledge-able doctor, gave me the right medicine and know of my symptoms right away. That's all you really need, right?
He's easygoing, disarming, and makes you feel comfortable. Very knowledgable/committed, but seemed to rush a bit at times.
I made an appointment for 1 p.m. but was not seen until 1:45 p.m. Seemed like a long wait for a scheduled appointment.
Used unprofessional language and medical terms, which made me feel uncomfortable. However, he gave good recommendations.
Dr. Savage always makes a point of teaching me about whatever ailments I have so that I can prevent them in the future.
It was a good visit, he seems very confident with his diagnosis. We'll see after the treatment if I feel better or not
Chatty doctor but he knows his stuff. Wait time of about 25 minutes between sitting down and doctor getting to me.
he gave me some good information about traveling abroad but could also go off on a tangent that I didn't understand
Dr. Savage was awesome! I would highly recommend him, and I will continue to see him as my primary care physician.
