    About our process
    Nov 21, 2025
    As a 34 year old with a complex medical history and substantial experience with specialty physicians, Dr. Sawaya truly set the bar extremely high. He was thorough, empathetic, competent, compassionate, adaptable, and provided comprehensive explanations about my procedure. I came in a nervous wreck, terrified, and flooded with emotions and confusion - he was able to put me at ease in a logical and practical way while being empathetic. 10/10! I've had 4 other gyns and he was God sent.

    Dr. Sawaya is an incredible provider. He was so patient, discussed my concerns, made himself available to talk through my questions and is a clear expert in the space. It was my first time seeing a male OBGYN, but he made me feel very comfortable.

    I am deeply grateful to Dr Sawaya, he has shown such a deep caring and level of diligence even following up on results of a prior biopsy done elsewhere. He is very kind, knowledgeable, patient and respectful and he does genuinely care for the patient.

    Dr Sawaya is an outstanding clinician!I've seen him as needed since 2019 and he keeps getting better and better! Plus, he is a dedicated research professor as well as clinician. He is stellar in all aspects of patient communication, caring and follow-up. He'd the finest physician I've encountered my 70+ years.
