Patient Reviews
Aug 09, 2026
I saw Dr. Saven via a video visit. He rarely made eye contact and was looking at his computer most of our extremely short visit. He asked alot of questions, which was great, but with every single answer I gave he cut me off. Every single one. He never asked for my symptoms. He ordered lab tests for me but I got the feeling he didn't believe they would confirm my concerns. They did. He ordered treatment but never indicated a follow up appointment. I've never been treated so poorly by a medical provider.
