Dr. Polina Sayess’
Patient Experiences

A few years back, I developed a complex set of symptoms and my needs surpassed the expertise of my primary care physician. I was introduced to Dr. Polina Sayess' practice. It took two-to-three visits to take obscure symptoms and investigate them thoroughly. Lab work supported her theory.

She listens to what I have to say and equally weighs that with what she sees. This was the best example of a holistic approach I have ever witnessed, and I had already been a healthcare professional myself for 13 years. I was taken on as a patient permanently.

Any person who comes to Dr. Sayess for help will walk away feeling blessed and grateful. I wish everyone could have Dr. Sayess to help them, even if it is just with a small piece of a large puzzle. She will make a difference with that one piece.

Dr. Sayess is the best physician I’ve had in my life. As a nurse, I’ve traveled the country working with countless physicians, and as a mother of five children, we’ve seen many doctors.

She is the most competent and caring physician yet. She deeply cares about her patients and their families and goes above and beyond to help them. I can never thank her enough for all the caring and support she has given us during a very challenging time.

Thank you,

—Lynne Chase

I went to Dr. Sayess for nutrition advice to manage my type 2 diabetes. It is no exaggeration to say Dr. Sayess saved my life.

I lost 55 pounds in seven months and am now free of all my diabetes medications. I used to be on insulin, plus Metformin.

My latest A1C reading was 5.0 when previously it was over 8.0.

I can never thank Dr. Sayess enough!

Dr. Sayess was an exceptional primary care physician for both myself and my family. She was easy to talk to and provided honest and firm advice on my health. In addition to being highly professional and intelligent, she was also kind and compassionate.

My father, a disabled veteran with multiple health issues, including PTSD, struggled with significant social anxiety.

Dr. Sayess was understanding and took a holistic approach to his care, making him feel safe and comfortable. She also strongly advocated for my father. This was especially important when my father faced discrimination from his former employer due to his PTSD symptoms.

In conclusion, Dr. Sayess was an excellent doctor for my family and me. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a primary care physician.

I saw Dr. Sayess for the first time in January 2021 when my primary care physician assigned my visit to her as his schedule didn't have openings for weeks out.

Since that first visit with her, I have found her level of care, treatment, communication, follow up and overall professionalism such that I have formally requested that she become my primary care physician.

Good Morning,

I would just like to express my sincere gratitude for the exemplary care you have provided for me.

Since our first meeting as a new patient you have always taken the time to talk over all of my many issues. You have given me great action plans and a feeling of being listen to and cared for.

I would like to most especially thank you for the quick response with my recent knee trouble. I have been dealing with the arthritis in my knees for several years.

Thank you so much for all of your help and I look forward to continuing my health care with you.

Sincerely,

—Betty Murray

If you asked me 2 years ago if I’d be ever comfortable wearing a bathing suit I would have laughed in your face!! My idea of “healthy eating” was low fat with lots of carbs and diet soda. Maintaining my weight was never possible no matter how hard I tried. And oh did I try for over 15 years.

I needed more support and a friend recommended seeing Dr. Sayess. After a few weeks on the diet and exercise plan Dr. Sayess prescribed I felt like I had been cured of my addition to sugar.

I wasn’t promised a quick fix but Dr. Sayess reassured me that slow and steady wins the race and offered sensible advice to ensure I didn’t fall off the wagon. Sure enough I’ve been living a healthier lifestyle for 2 years now and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.

I’ve lost nearly 35lbs, but more importantly I feel stronger, full of energy and my mood is much better. I’m also finally happy wearing a bathing suit.

Much gratitude Dr. Sayess!

I am so grateful to Dr. Polina Sayess for helping me overcome my low back pain. For years, I struggled with chronic pain and discomfort, making it difficult to enjoy daily activities and maintain an active lifestyle. But thanks to her compassionate care and expertise in lifestyle medicine, I am now pain-free and living life to the fullest.

Dr. Sayess took the time to listen to my concerns and understand my medical history, and she worked with me to develop a personalized treatment plan that addressed the root causes of my pain. Through a combination of lifestyle changes, physical therapy, and medication management, she helped me regain my strength and mobility and regain control over my health.

I am so grateful for the compassionate care and support provided by Dr. Sayess. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, I am now able to enjoy my favorite activities without the burden of chronic pain. I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking high-quality, personalized healthcare.
