This is [Name] I had a very good experience with Dr. Savin. He answered all of my questions. He seemed very concerned about my welfare and how I was doing, he took notes and I couldn't asked for a better physician for my breast surgery....my breast cancer that I had and he more or less assured me that I probably.... in all likelihood, I will not get it again, which made me feel very good, but I will continue to have checkups and I will see him again.
I truly couldn't ask for a better cancer physician. Not only is Dr. Savin highly intelligent his warm compassionate personality is out standing!
Hi, I had cancer 6 1/2 years ago, breast cancer, and it returned. I felt much better after my consultation with the doctor... he eased my anxiety quite a bit.
Very pleasant & informative visit.
He is polite and thorough - patient - gives one time to ask questions and re-ask - works well with his Fellowship interns - he seems to be up on the patient?s total health history.
Dr Savin was very thorough, knowledgeable and personable. I felt I was dealing with an expert and greatly appreciate the consultation.
Dr. Savin was very comforting, yet he was very informative and treated me with dignity. And I sure appreciate him. I met him at Good SAM while he was filling in and even though my health net has better coverage at Good SAM I followed him to OHSU. I have full confidence in Dr. Savin. He's an angel.
I rate the doctor as an excellent doctor. Very caring, very kind, very friendly. The doctor was very beautiful with me.
Dr. Saven is extremely kind, and patient, and listens, and that is much appreciated. Having been in the medical profession for quite a few years I really enjoy him and I'm very very pleased with his care. Thank you.
I appreciated Dr. Savin's attentiveness very much. He was beyond patient with my concerns, and was thoughtful in helping recommend the best course of treatment for me.
He is very patient and supports with hearts. His attitude makes me comfort me and makes me concentrate my treatment with confidence.
He's a (INAUDIBLE) very good bedside manners, and he was very helpful for helping me decide to go take the chemo that he recommended, which was the lighter-weight 1 of the 2 different drugs, and I appreciate his concern in my not wanting it to do it, but he encouraged me to take the chemo anyway.
Dr. Savin clearly explained the procedures with chemo that may occur after my breast cancer surgery. I thank him very much and look forward to a rewarding and life time experience in his care.
Dr. Savin is a very conscientious, knowledgeable and caring doctor. I feel like he's taken very good care of me.
Dr. Savin is so very professional, knowledgable, compassionate and caring.His credibility and expertise kept me confident that I would see light at the end of the tunnel.
Starting new medicine and Dr. Savin brought in a pharmacist, which was a great idea, he was terrific explaining all the side effects, treatment for these and how to combat early intervention for these side effects.
I'm very happy Dr [Name] had me be under Dr Savin's care starting [Redacted] when he discussed chemo for mass in my left breast. Dr Savin, is a very caring physician, he really helped me through a difficult time. Not just with the cancer but my own emotions and trying to help my mom be more at ease. I feel very fortunate to have had him be by my side as I know, he'd probably like to retire!
First time visit to set up survivorship care. Took time to get to know me and my family/situation/history. Very experienced and connected to other services. I felt an immediate rapport and trust. I'm confident that this is the right provider for my care.
Dr. Savin was very helpful to me. He researched doctors in my new place and I feel went above and beyond what was required. He actually called me at home to provide additional information which was outstanding service, in my opinion.
shows patience and caring with his patients. Allows for extra time if needed with patient.
