4.0 Review from B. Source: Google Nov 25 2022

"I only added four stars because my first experience was SAGA was at the Euclid location, where I had my consult. A couple of the staff members were rude and unprofessional, giving the rest a bad name. I was worried about going through with my procedure at that location because I wanted to be treated like a patient should, especially with a procedure like an endoscopy. So I requested for the procedure to be done in the medical center. I was glad I did. The entire staff was highly competent, professional, and warm and friendly. It was my first time going under, and I was a little nervous. But they made me feel so at ease. This is how healthcare should be. I am very grateful to everyone who took care of me. I was a cash patient, and I felt the prices were reasonable too."

"My experience at SAGA was better than I could have asked for. The receptionist was friendly and you could tell she likes what she does. The nursing staff was so attentive, thorough, and I didn’t feel like I was just a number that was being pushed through. Dr Flores was such a calm and reassuring voice before sedation and when I was released going over what he found. When I woke up I was shocked at how quickly it had been done. The staff let me take my time getting ready and explained my post op instructions very well. Given that a colonoscopy isn’t associated with a good experience. I must say it was the best I could have received by a very competent and reassuring staff."

"Lori has helped me through the ups and downs of an unpredictable and chronic disease. She is knowledgeable and considers all contributing factors as she helps me down different treatment paths. When I began at this practice, I thought I was in remission; we quickly discovered that was not the case and have been working to remedy that for the last four or five years. As anyone with chronic disease can tell you, this process is often exhausting, but with an advocate like Lori on my side, I feel so confident that remission is achievable. She is personable, makes herself available, and most importantly, familiarizes herself with you as a patient."
