If you need candy coating from your doctor, this is not the guy. What you get with Dr. Savage is a very intelligent, efficient, and no nonsense professional who pinpointed and diagnosed my issue precisely and was able to guide me to the remedy as well as teaching me how to avoid the same issues in the future. A great experience and a great doctor.

Dr. Savage was very professional and inviting. I felt that he was knowledgeable regarding my condition and was prompt in diagnosing it. His friendly manner was most appreciated.

In and out in no time. Called in around lunch to see if I could see him that day for a 2 week long bout of vertigo, and was able to see him a couple hours later, same day. Staff was super friendly and nice, and Savage was on point. Joked around with him a bit, real talk, no bullshit. I could have been talking to a friend the way he interacted.
Got right down to business after that, checked me out and prescribed what I needed. Even had some of the meds I needed on hand which he threw in as a consolation prize. I will def. be returning in the future if I need a quick fix. Highly recommend him if you don't want any hand-holding B.S. and just want to get healthy.
A perfect doctor for busy professionals! He lets the patient lead the discussion and actively listens to focus on what are the patient's main concerns before running the standard physical tests. He tells it like it is, but always with encouraging suggestions for improvement. Most people can stand to be in a little bit better shape, right? His efficient style allows for a flexible schedule which means he'll be free when you need him, because you can't plan ahead for when a medical issue will pop up. So delightful to find a doctor truly focused on the patient's needs and wants!

let me tell you some facts - there are quite a bit of really shady doctors in SF that only care about tacking on tests and visits to raise your bill. Looking back to my more naive days I feel like I've been conned from some offices. Dr. Savage is absolutely not one of these people. He's been highly successful forever, the man could give 2 shits about money, relatively speaking.
There are very few doctors available all week and getting a near instant appointment when you are feeling miserable is amazing.
Dr. Savage's office is ran very efficiently, if possible even gives you meds directly to save you that dreaded Walgreens run.

was in the same boat as many of the reviewers, I was sick at a conference, and I needed to see a doc, while was as in SF. Now, in Miami we have lot's of urgent care centers, SF does not, there are a few, but they all want cash up front, etc. I needed to find a clinic that would take my out-of-state insurance. So, I googled, yelped, etc. I found Dr. Savage who had a an office about 3 blocks from my hotel near Union Square.
I called, he answered the phone, told me to come in, and I did.
Basically, I had a severe sinus infection, and I needed to get it cleared up before I got back on the plane to go home.
When I meet with the doctor, he was professional, kind, and very clear. He was also willing to explain various aspects of the treatment, and the issues with regard to upper resp. infections. He staff called in my prescriptions to a Walgreens just next to my hotel, and I was good to after two days, and I was ready for the plane home. Last year my wife blew-out her ear drum when she had a similar infection on a trip, and her ears got clogged. So be careful.
I am not sure where the bad reviews came from, this doctor is was very fine, I am not giving him 5 stars, b/c most of my reviews I give out 5's.
So, if your in from out-of-town, and need help, go to him, he will see you and get you well!
Additionally, it turns out, he see many aircrews and is very familiar with treatment if you have to fly.
I do recommend him if you need help.

Doc Savage is great. He's efficient, available 7 days a week, and is a good doctor. I called Friday at 1:30 to see if I could come in the same day, and was able to come in at 3 PM. My friends all go to Doc Savage as well as my husband because of my recommendation. On top of being right on with his diagnoses, he is really funny. I highly recommend him as a general practitioner or a travel doctor.

I first saw Dr. Savage when I arrived in San Francisco and didn’t have a general practitioner. He is knowledgeable and light-hearted at the same time, and he isn’t a doctor who throws prescriptions at a problem. He wants to know what’s going on and always has some great ideas on how to solve things naturally. He’s quite an expert on all things supplemental. A truly holistic viewpoint.
After repeat displays of his kung-fu kicks and hearing about his former life as a fattie, not to mention some great advice about my gym workout, I have never left.
Thank you Dr. Savage for your sense of humor and great, sound medical advice!

Very fast, friendly and convenient. Can’t say exactly that he did an exhaustive work-up on me, but I’m not picky. No muss, no fuss!
