I would not refer anyone to Dr. Saavedra. I found her to be extremely rude. She was also indecisive regarding my diagnosis. I did not feel comfortable speaking to her as she seemed extremely judgemental, cold, & uncompassionate. I also waited 2-4hrs. for every visit. I quit seeing her after 4-5 visits.

What’s in a Name? Dr. Lillian Saavedra is a commensurate professional of the highest degree, She treats her patients with patience and respect. People walk in to her office with a frown and Genghis Khan stare then leave looking serene and relaxed. If the session takes an extra 10 min I am not rushed out the door like some human ant with no name. She could make more money through quicker medication appointments but instead asks me how I have been doing with sincere interest in the answer. She effectively guided my discordant sublimation into areas that improve my life.
The best professionals have one thing in common. A passionate desire to apply talent in making something better then when they started. She succeeds in this with her knowledge, talent, and formidable medical skills, paired with compassionate intrenchant light.
She is trusted. Sacrosanct. Peerless.
That which we call psychiatry, By any other names would surely NOT smell as sweet."
I am left better then she found me.

This doctor and office staff need serious lessons in respect for other people's time; in particular the time that her patients spend in her waiting room. The average waiting time has been 1.5 hours at any time that I have visited. It really violates my feeling that in particular psychiatry patients should be afforded some level of confidentiality - an idea that goes out the window entirely with the incredible wait in her office and the number of patients waiting never being less than four. Her only treatment of me was to ask me what medication could she provide me - she seems uninterested in actually practicing psychiatry.

Dr. Saavedra is very knowledgeable. My only complaint is that she promised me something she never gave me. I also have to say I have never met a ruder receptionist in all my life. Every time I called she was rude. It never failed. Even when I was kind to her she was still rude. I feel so sorry for her.

I walk into the room and meet a old, extremely depressed looking doctor with Buddist statues in the room. She misdiagnsed me and had me on the wrong meds. I went to another doctor and got correctly treated. Since then I,ve done great.

Way too busy! After 4 visits, average wait time to see her is 1.25 hours, which is enough to make anybody crazy! She seemed way more interested in medicating me, than getting to the route of my problems. After 4 visits, my average length of time per appointment was 15 minutes. Is giving someone a prescription every 30 days really helping them? That is the really easy way out if you ask me.

Depended on her at a critical time and had a very bad experience. Medications were not tolerated well with bad results.

Might have been knowledgeable but I wouldn't know because I was so turned off and upset after one visit. Nasty and antagonistic, not the thing I needed coming in with depression! Found another doctor and things went fine. She was also 1.5 hours late.

She spends quality time with her patients. Many may not understand the wait but when you get in there with her and break down about your problems, you've taken more time than expected which leads to her running late with others. I would refer her to family and friends any day. Her experience and intellect has taken her to a degree every psychiatrist could wish to achieve.

She is a very intelligent woman and really cares about her patients. I would highly reccomend her to anyone seeking medical advice. I went to see her when I was having anxiety, sleeping issues and loss of appetite. She was able to nail me down in a matter of minutes. She is truly gifted at what she does and I highly reccommend her.

Did not tell me side effects of coming off Paxil such as rage and suicidial ideations - until after I was taken off the medication and came close to hospitalization. At a recent med check appointment she told me that I've been on so many (3) medications in the past 2 years and the current med should be working. All of my med switches have been at her orders, not my request - yet I was made to feel like it was my fault that I'm not feeling better. On several occasions I've waited over 2 hours for my appointment - no apologies.

Excellent very knowledgeable doctor, worth the wait. She knows her stuff and it is up to you, the patient to come back and report how the medicines are working. Trust her very very much. She is in it to help people, not for the money. She has way more patients than she needs, but she still tries to help. Recommend her highly.

She is wonderful and knowledgeble doctor. She really does care for her patients unlike many others out there. She never left any of my questions unanswered, any of my complaints disregarded. She is THE DOCTOR as the doctor should be.

She is very busy. She saw me six years ago for severe PTSD. I was amazed at what she was able to figure out even though I was too scared to talk. I suffered from months of sleep deprivation, psychological torture and physical abuse and eventually had to be hospitalized since I was too afraid to sleep or take my medication because of what my ex-husband had threatened would happen if I ever got help for myself. Dr. Saavedra noted that I was thought blocking when I couldn't speak. I didn't realize that there was a word for being too scared to have thoughts. The only regret I have is that I didn't share more with Dr. Saavedra about my history of abuse, since that would have helped her to find a prescription solution for me more quickly. Unfortunately, she had to try at least nine different medications, and I am still reaping the consequences of taking Lithium, since my ex-husband, six years later, is still determined to have the children taken away from me based on the rule out of BPD.

Once she has prescribed a medicine, like many in psychiatry, she sometimes does not follow up to see if the medicine was the best fit for the patient's chemistry. Also, while she is rated highly, I question whether this doctor helps patients enough or instead tells them what she thinks they want to hear.
