Dr Saukkonen is my hero. He is smart & genuinely cares about his patients. He was extremely thorough & professional conducting my exam. His sharp eyes spotted things on x-rays that radiologists didn't pick up. Im extremely pleased & lucky to be evaluated by such carrying, thoughtful, smart & gentle doctor. He is the BEST

I was very impressed with the amount of time Dr. Saukkonen spent with me. He was very thorough and did not rush through the exam.
Provider gave sufficient time and care to explain conditions by showing x-rays when necessary.
Dr. Saukkonen is one of the best providers I have had in my [redacted] years. I am very impressed not only in how well he addresses my pulmonary issues but how well he integrates and coordinates that treatment with my other chronic issues and their treatment. Just excellent.
Well done
