      I won't think there is a better doctor to see for dysplasia for multiple reasons and I honestly would refer everyone I know that has an issue to Dr Sawaya. I really appreciate him and every visit, even though uncomfortable and difficult for me, is wonderful and professional and I hope to see him forever

      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.
