Suzanne is always friendly and informative she knows how to get the job done while being very caring

06/11/2025

She was very good and seems will address the issues I have had all three times this year I have been made to run out if my medications. Being made go cold turkey of blood pressure medication and my generic Cymbalta is taking a toll on me physically and mentally. I go to all appointments and comply with everything to do so am confused as to whatever three months I have to fight to get refills on such simple prescriptions that are not narcotics. I personally hate being on physical pain from being ran out of neuropathy medication and the Cymbalta helps with the nerve pain but I see does a mental Rollercoaster on you when stopping abruptly. Also after a week of trying between doctors and Walgreens I have a text saying I was denied refills on blood pressure medication. Is that to drum up more emergency room visits by chance or just maybe lowering average age of death is possibly new agenda in this new political administration. Lol just being ornery. Am still happy with visit just pray no more refill issues

NP Suzanne Savage is just as terrific as my regular PCP Dr. Stephanie Swords (normally I try not to compare people because that's not fair to either party & we're all created individuals, but I felt the need to provide a comparison in reference to both of their quality of care). I wasn't able to get an appointment with Dr. Swords for my urgent medical issue (hypertension/high blood pressure) that I couldn’t wait to be seen ASAP for, as she's booked solid until the beginning of November (& it's only the start of June as of the date of this review..she's THAT awesome). I have followed Dr. Swords to 3 medical clinics when she'd transferred (no I am not a stalker). So, instead I was able see/meet NP Suzanne Savage for the first time today & have to say her "bedside manner" is EXTREMELY great (again almost identical to Dr. Swords). She went over everything carefully & didn't rush the appt (same as Dr. Swords). She's so much like my PCP that, if I'm unable to schedule an appointment in the future with Dr. Swords, NP Suzanne Savage would DEFINITELY be my next choice in line. If I didn't know any better, they could be personality twins...LOL. You CANNOT go wrong with working with NP Suzanne! If given the option to, I'd give her 50 million gold stars for such a tremendous job! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this gal & her demeanor!!! She's also SUPER friendly & even laughed at a joke I had made up & said that it was funny enough she was going to tell her family about it. It wasn't even a pity laugh either (which is what I normally get for my jokes or a groan with an eyeball roll). Even my sister-in-love had mentioned on the way back home that she'd even see NP Savage if Dr. Swords wasn't available.(She switched to Dr. Swords too after seeing how she treated me in my various appointments). Thanks for reading my review. I hope this helps in your decision of whether or not you want to use NP Suzanne Savage as a medical provider. Again, you CANNOT go wrong in working with NP Suzanne Savage! May God bless, keep, & heal (for whatever reason that you need to seek a medical provider for) you.

I was disappointed that I could not get an appointment with Dr Swords. However, Suzanne was very helpful and listened carefully to my concerns. She is definitely an asset, especially since corporate healthcare makes it nearly impossible to see your doctor in a timely manner.

06/02/2025

Good visit, helpful .since I saw her I had reaction with Colestipol. Please get back to me.

05/23/2025

My visit on Thursday was the first time I had met Suzanne. She was very friendly and also professional. She answered all my questions with expertise and I did not feel rushed. Thank you so much!!

05/16/2025

04/01/2025

Suzanne Savage is very very great.

03/31/2025

Got right in. Suzanne is a wonderful midlevel practitioner!

03/28/2025

My visit started off with the nurse/medical assistant telling me I did wrong at check in, but I followed the directions I was given. I get it that misinformation is given, but take the responsibility off the patient. When the nurse practitioner came in and I provided her my symptoms, she had one follow up question to ask me for other possible symptoms and that was it. I felt dismissed and unheard at this appt as I was explaining why I was thinking a certain way, she just smiled and nodded. The overall mood at this office is heavy and no one seems happy to be here. The reception is very friendly and nice, but that is the only highlight in my 2 visits at this office. I may be shopping for a new PCP.

03/19/2025

Thoughtful, professional, detailed! Very good.

02/19/2025

02/17/2025

I have never had a negative experience with any medical staff like I did with Suzanne Savage NP I will never go back to her. I am looking for a new medical practice.

02/14/2025

I was apprehensive about changing providers when my doctor retired, but Suzanne was a breath of fresh air!! She was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and very personable. I felt comfortable around her even though this was my first visit and I look forward to seeing her many times in the future. She is an amazing NP as well as human being and I highly recommend her!!

02/04/2025

01/28/2025

She didn’t rush through the exam. Didn’t talk down to me like some doctors have.

01/20/2025

Very nice and very good doctor

01/17/2025

Y only issue is when I addressed a particular health/mental medical issue I have.. Suzanne Savage replied well maybe you're bi-polar. Either way unprofessional and unnecessary to say as it has nothing to do with the answer

01/16/2025

Mrs.Savage has a great bedside manner she is easy to talk to. Pleasant visit she was focused on how I felt.

Great office staff and Suzanne was very attentive to my health issues. Great overall experience.

08/09/2024

Nurses are a special breed of medical care staffing. And the longer they've been in practice, the better they are. Suzanne is the best nurse that I've received care from. She has done every facet of clinical treatments many times. You won't find better care than what you get from her!

07/30/2024

Provider was very attentive. She asked relevant questions related to my issue and provided meaningful feedback. She appeared to be genuinely concerned about my health.

07/26/2024

Suzanne was friendly, listened carefully to my concerns and gave me good information.

07/25/2024

I saw the P.A. - Internist Suzanne Savage during my last visit. This wasn't the first time I've seen Suzanne for care. Every time I've seen her, I have always been treated with respect and listened to thoroughly, never being made to feel rushed. I'm confident in her ability to both understand my condition & achieve the perfect treatment plan for me. Whenever my PCP, Samin Akhtar (another exceptional physician), is unable to squeeze me into her every busy schedule, I am always happy to see Suzanne in her stead. I have trusted Meritas Health and the NKCH group of medical professionals for over 20 years now. Everyone I've seen here for my healthcare has exceeded my expectations. They've earned not only my total confidence due to their knowledable and caring professionalism, but also my loyalty, as I refuse to go anywhere else.

07/10/2024

I was very pleased with how I was treated and all was very professional.
