Caring, patient

Dr. Saunders is always thorough and a very good communicator.

Dr. Saunders is very caring and kind. She fully explains everything in words the patient can understand, not "doctor speak". You never feel rushed and always feel heard.

I really like Dr. Saunders, but...a year ago I had my entire back fused! Now I have neuropathy in my feet! Im going to be 70 years old! For some reason Dr. Saunders does not want to discuss giving me a Handicapped placard! I don't use a walker, except if I'm walking in my neighborhood! I have good days and bad days! Other than that, I'm happy with her!

My provider (Dr. Saunders), was very helpful, informative and open about giving advice to help me with my problems and concerns.

I do not believe my heart/ lungs were listened to or checked. Most I have been to usually do this as standard procedure. It didn't occur to me until after I had left the practice. However, I did have an EKG and the Dr.did mention something could be abnormal and did a referral for cardiology, which I highly appreciate. Thank you.

Dr. Saunders is very thorough and has very good skills in listening, answering and explaining patient questions and concerns.

You have a fine TEAM.

Very good experience!

The doctor did her best to explain things and give treatment suggestions for prevention of my problem. But this was an old problem had already been addressed (unsuccessfully) by another PCP and an Emory specialist doctor for more than a year. The prevention info was not new. This new doctor had never seen me before. I forgot to ask the main questions I had which had brought urgency to situation and likely why I also got an appointment so fast from triage nurse on phone. I did a poor job of explaining my latest problem. I forgot to mention one reason for appointment was due to sudden very high blood pressure readings at home. The doctor didn't get that info due to inaccurate reading from nurse, which was my fault due to my suggestion to lift my arm (but not THAT high!) when she took my BP. My face had been flushed for 2 days. After appointment, I noticed that my face temperature said 99.7 (instead of usual 97) on my chart and that was not from a hot car or sunburn. Maybe it was cooler by the time the doctor saw me.

She was attentive. Answered all my questions. It was a pleasant experience.

Very pleased with my doctor.

Great expectations, plzKeep up the excellent care.

Efficient, focused. Apparently ordered/performed the right clinical assessments, came to the right diagnosis and prescribed appropriate treatment as I am recovering. Thank you!

I love Dr. Saunders. She's intelligent, responsive, and friendly.

Seemed very interested in finding the cause of problem and addressing it.

Doctor spent a considerable amount of time teaching me about treatments available for Diabetes and patiently waited for my decision regarding what treatment I desired

I first met the medical/PHD student who is very bright, very knowledgeable, very thorough and I wished him luck. He will make a fine Doctor/Researcher and a gift to humanity.I feel the same about Dr. Saunders. She is lovely, very professional, extremely knowledgeable, listens to my questions, gives recommendations and is empathetic. I LOVE that she is pro women's issues and for us senior citizens. I love her!!!! I have recommended her to my friends as well.

I love Dr. Saunders she is very open, willing to assist you and cares

Both physicians were excellent

Appreciate the kindness and professionalism

After assessing my concern, an action plan was immediately put in place and acted on

Good experience!

Dr. Saunders listened to my health concerns, background and responded w/ recommendations for consideration. Appreciate the inputs.

First time in a long time I felt at home with this facility.

Helpful

I was so overwhelmed by the wonderful service I received

Dr. Saunders was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and I liked her very much.

The Doctor was polite and informative

Dr. Saunders was very attuned to my predicament.

Dr Saunders prioritized her medical recommendation (and to be clear, she was very up front about it from the outset) based on limiting her risk/liability with her patient versus being more open to a prescription that has worked well with another patient over a long period of use. I respect her experience and coaching, but she literally said: "I will not take the risk of being responsible for a patient having an adverse reaction to this drug". My perception of that statement was "I am worried about being sued for malpractice, so I don't prescribe that drug anymore". That is probably a misperception but sharing if that feedback is helpful. In general I have always appreciated Dr Saunder's approach to our relationship as she typically seeks to understand my situation and discusses various approaches/solutions. There are some visits where she Is having a busy day or Is not In the best mood, and today's visit seemed to reflect a strained discussion. Some examples why:1. She started the conversation with "so you want medication to help with your sleeping Issues?". I did not say I had sleeping Issues and had provided a long email In advance of the visit to explain I used Ambien for managing jet lag for International travel. I don't expect Dr Saunders to study every chart/info before an exam, but If she wasn't aware of my situation then the conversation might have been more productive If she started with "so tell me about your Issue" or "how can I help?". I went back over my request and my prior use of Ambien, and Dr Saunders responded with her explanation of why she doesn't prescribe it. 2. When we discussed alternatives she recommended (which were much appreciated) I sought some clarity about the effects of both alternatives as I wanted to understand dosage and after effects as I was looking for a medication that would target a similar 8 hour effect that Ambien had previously had. Dr Saunders responded that "well, you are only looking for a medication to help you fall asleep, so that really doesn't matter". I had to share again that my previous experience with Ambien was that it forced a sleep period of 8 hours (full tablet) 4 hours half tablet, so I was seeking a prescription that would have similar effect. At this point I expressed some frustration that we seemed to be on different pages with respect to objectives. 3. After this exchange Dr Saunders was visibly agitated. She finalized the prescription, had me sit on the exam table, quickly went through the motions of putting a stethoscope on my chest, and then said goodbye and left the room. I wish to apologize if my comments caused Dr Saunders to become frustrated. I was not trying to be combative, but was definitely frustrated myself as it seemed the majority of our time was spent listening to Dr Saunders explain why she was averse to prescribing a drug versus showing an understanding of what care/help I was looking for. I will add that the after care notes in the portal did a VERY good job of reflecting what I was describing as the primary objective for this medication, so I thank Dr Saunders for taking the time to provide that detail in the record.

Always a positive experience with Dr. Saunders

Dr. Saunders is knowledgeable and approachable.She listens and provides knowledge in a respectful manner.I would recommend her to a friend.

Contacting her was great, and I appreciate the time she spent with me. That said, I'm looking for a provider who aligns more with the Health at Every Size philosophy-someone who values body diversity and focuses on lifestyle, nutrition, and mental health instead of relying heavily on BMI. I don't feel this provider is the best fit, as she references BMI at each visit and recommended eliminating foods like chips, which feels restrictive. With my nutritionist, I've been working for years to move away from that approach, so I'd prefer care that supports that perspective.

I am so grateful to have Dr. Saunders as my doctor. She understands, listens, is compassionate. I feel confident in her decisions and treatment recommendations.

I really fell my Doctor talks with me and makes me fell important.

Dr. Louis-Saunders is always great!

I am grateful to have Dr Saunders as my primary care physician.

All queries very clearly explained.

Very good communication

I like Dr. Saunders' professional demeanor. The only factor for this visit that wasn't optimal was that the trainee asked me questions as if it was my first time there and this was my yearly follow up. So it seemed to lack continuity. However, I understand the importance of training.

There's no one like Doctor Saunders. She responds to any question. And makes you feel like you the only one there

This was my 3rd visit to Dr. Saunders and it will be my last. I felt that the appointment was rushed and that my concerns were not completely addressed. She completely ignored my guests concerns as well which I find completely unacceptable.

She prescribed some medicine and recommended some eye drops that I could purchase over the counter. The problem went away as she predicted.
