Dr Savala takes the time to explain in detail the recommended processes and medicines involved before the examination and then preforms the procedure flawlessly. His decades of experience, expansive knowledge and attention to detail combine to make a paradigm of what a fine anesthesiologist/surgeon should emulate."

    "Dr. Savala is the best doctor I have ever seen in almost 80 years. Before my initial visit, before he came into the exam room he actually READ my medical history and the questionnaire I had just completed AND he read the the notes from my recent visit to a doctor in a different specialty, so he already knew the background of my problem. Because of this, he didn't waste our time re-asking all of the questions on the questionnaire. He LISTENED to me, didn't rush me at all, didn't interrupt, and honed in on the problem (and what I had just said) when he did ask questions. He cared about my opinion about my problem and didn't just substitute his own stock rehearsed answer. He explained what he thought was wrong and what might help, and asked if I thought that made sense (instead of just assuming I had to take his advice as gospel). He was respectful and never patronizing, both smart and compassionate. No massive doctor ego. This is the one you want."

    "Dr.Savala is absolutely the best. In early December I ended up at the emergency room with 6mm disk protrusion. There were no appointments to see any doctor let alone get real help right before the Holidays. Dr.Savala was a life saver. He was incredible, made me at ease before the procedure, he truly has the best hands in the business. He did epidural shot under X-ray for me and my life improved that same day. Now 6 months later I had several consultations and he's the most compassionate, professional to recommend only what's truly best for you doctor you can find in SF Bay Area. If your back pain struggle is real and way overdue I can't recommend Dr Savala enough."

    "Dr. Savala is a compassionate, intelligent, and thoroughly knowledgeable doctor. He took a lot of time to help me during our visit, and was really clear in explaining what my options were. I appreciated his honesty, and I genuinely like him. He's kind of doctor that is very rare nowadays as he is a really good listener, and genuinely cares about his patients. I recommend him highly."

    "Compassion and Passionate: These two words exemplify the care I received under Dr. Savala's supervision. I have been a patient for several years, and this review is long overdue. After have a significant disectomy on my lower back at UCSF approximately 6 years ago, the outpatient care I received there was minimal and not personalized for my needs. After linger symptoms developed and a failed epidural from the UCSF team (which took about 3-4 months to get even an appointment!), I sought care outside UCSF's abysmal system. After conversing about my problems with another anesthesiologist who is my neighbor, he recommended that I see Dr. Savala "because he really cares about his patients and is the best at what he does." I desperately needed help, and I found it in Dr. Savala…" Read original
