    Dr. Al Sad is amazing. After experiencing other care providers who consistently dismissed and diminished my healthcare concerns it is refreshing to have a doctor who actually takes time to listen and is a partner in care. It was a wonderful surprise that she reviewed my chart before our appointment, she understood my concerns and presented options to address them. She goes above and beyond. It is rare that I have met a physician who's calling is truly to help their patients live a better life. This is Dr. Al Sad's goal. I am extremely blessed to have her as my care provider. Thank you!

    I've recommended Dr. Al Sad to several friends because of her clinical acumen and excellent patient communication. As expected of a provider of her caliber, she is unable to accept new patients. And apparently there are no other providers at women's health primary care.

    Dr. Al Sad, is the epitome of a great caregiver. She is very thorough and professional in her assessments of health issues and shows great compassion and care as we discuss health conditions and treatments. She listened very closely to emotional concerns I expressed regarding my friends and family. And I really appreciate it her patience with the length of time for the exam. I never felt that she was rushing to leave, which unfortunately happens often in medical practices due to the business model for efficiency. I greatly appreciate Dr. Al Sad's excellent care and support.

    Dr. Al Sad was quite simple wonderful in every way. Medically she performed the biopsy with great care for my comfort. This procedure can be very painful in some cases, but Dr Al Sad's professional expertise minimized the discomfort both physically and emotionally. She explained everything in clear understandable language, and we even chatted about other things. I can't stress enough what an all-around good patient experience this was.

    I liked that she gave me circumstances to consider when prescribing the medication (a "timeline" if I did need to take it) so that I would not worry and could take care of myself before it became an "If/Then".

    Dr. Al Sad is phenomenal. I've never had a doctor listen to me like she has. She is non-judgemental and caring and so knowledgeable. Practical and informative. I wish I would have found her 20 years ago. She found a problem I did not know about and was really great with me about it. I'm so grateful
    Oct 28, 2023
    Dr. Al Sad is a blessing. I was ready to give up on the Dr.'s I was referred to. Don't get me wrong they were good. But when Dr. Al Sad told me to never come and tell her what you have just the symptoms. I was blown away.. She stayed that was her job. I love Dr. Al Sad
