Testimonial

“Dr. Sawa has been excellent, accurately diagnosing [and] referring for imaging where possible. Her real value showed, however, when my referral for a consultation was taking longer than she thought it should, so she followed up with them on my behalf. Overall, great place filled with great people!”
