Dr. Saylor expeditiously examined my son following a recent sports injury. The care my son received was absolutely terrific! It’s great to see client-centered care at its best and a physician that puts his own professional and personal experiences into the mix when making clinical decisions. Thank you!!!

Dr. Saylor was very patient with my son and took a good deal of time to come up with a plan to help with his leg pain and make sure we understood what was going on. He made my son feel comfortable and talked to him directly and not just me. Definitely recommend him for your child’s care!!
