Office Hours by appointment:
Tuesday 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Saturday 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM My passion is in helping others become well and stay healthy. Using my 30+ years of experience and knowledge of family medicine, I’ve created a unique way to fulfill that call to serve — family medicine consulting. This is different than a traditional primary care practice. I examine, diagnose, and treat patients in three exclusive capacities: complex medical conditions that affect multiple organ systems; thorough annual physical examinations, including well-woman exams; and family medicine procedures. My expertise is provided without the restrictions of insurance companies or Medicare.

March '26 Health Tip - Vaccinations.

Nothing in medicine has saved more lives than vaccinations!

Vaccinations has become a controversial topic due to much misinformation. At this time, your physician who is relying on scientific truths is your best source of accurate information for you. We are seeing increases in diseases thought to have been extinct since people are not getting their vaccines. These diseases cause significant morbidity and mortality.

We must get through this together for your health and those you love.

Moonset - "Strategies to Reinvigorate the Bedside Clinical Encounter"

From the NEJM 11/27/25 issue, "Decreased bedside clinical skills lead to diagnostic errors, poor clinical outcomes, increased health care costs, and physician burnout." Also, "Medical trainees today spend as little as 13% of their time in direct contact with patients...More than half of the outpatient diagnostic errors have been attributed to poor history taking and mistakes in the physical examination. An overreliance on technology, due in part to declining clinical skills, leads to overinvestigation and rising costs...It also leads to a weakening of the doctor-patient relationship. Lack of time at the bedside disproportionally affects marginalized groups and propagates health care disparities."

I'm glad to see that authorities in medicine are working on this aspect in the decline in medical care we see today. My thoroughness in taking medical histories and providing physical examination have been able to expose the true cause of underlying medical problems for proper treatment in many who have been improperly cared for. Comprehensive annual physical examinations also can detect early problems before they are no longer curable.

This is also why I have expressed my concern on people's reliance on telehealth. I recently saw a male who had been treated for prostatitis by a telehealth physician. When he was not improving, the physician recommended he should be seen in person. He had bilateral inguinal hernias as his cause for discomfort.

URI - Acute Upper Respiratory Infections
Cold and Flu season is upon us. There are many causes of fever, runny nose, cough, achiness, sore throat, chills, head or chest congestion, ear pressure and/or being tired. The children are back in school. The next peak will be Thanksgiving time and Christmas time. Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before touching your face.
Symptomatic treatment includes rest, extra fluids, vaporizer in your bedroom, Tylenol, lozenges, Mucinex, Zinc, Sudafed, or ibuprofen/naproxen if no stomach problems. Zinc is one of the few treatments that has actually shown to decrease the severity and length of a cold. There are lozenges or some take the 50 mg tablets twice each day. I have found Mucinex can decrease sinusitis and bronchitis sequalae. Sudafed is the only true decongestant that can be obtained behind the counter (for those without high blood pressure or insomnia or other reasons to avoid it).
If your symptoms are not progressing as expected, contact me for a possible virtual or office visit. Remember to wear a mask if you are ill.

12/12/25 Acetaminophen and Pregnancy

12/12/2025

From: The Medical Letter, December 8/2025 issue. An unbiased and truly researched source for drugs and therapeutics. They reviewed 40 large studies to provide the below information!
"Acetaminophen has been the drug of choice for treatment of fever and during pregnancy for decades.
The US Department of Health and Human Services has issued an announcement expressing concern about a potential link between acetaminophen exposure in utero and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.
Data from observational studies have been conflicting, but higher-quality studies have been less likely to show an association between maternal acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental disorders in their offspring.
Fever during pregnancy has itself been associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, and it can cause neural tube defects during the first trimester.
Alternative drugs for treatment of fever or pain (e.g., NSAIDs, opiods) have been associated with significant toxicity when used during pregnancy.
Major professional organizations continue to recommend acetaminophen for first-line treatment of fever and pain during pregnancy."
"...available evidence is insufficient to definitively link in utero acetaminophen exposure and autism and ADHD in childhood."

December '25 Health Tip - Keloid Treatment

Are you a person that develops bad scars? You are not alone!

Little skin irritations can develop into thick and ugly scars in some people. Some can be prevented, but many can only be treated. Treatment will depend on the age, location, and thickness of the scar. If it would benefit from a steroid injection, Dr. Saxer can help you with that procedure.

Dr. Saxer performs many procedures for his patients to help diagnose or treat medical issues. If you need any procedure, make an appointment with Dr. Saxer. His fees are less than what you would pay through your insurance.

November '25 Health Tip - Interstitial Cystitis Bladder Testing and Treatment

Do you have “UTI” symptoms but no infection?

Many problems can cause the same symptoms as a bladder (UTI) infection. Dr. Saxer can evaluate these symptoms to determine the cause and best course of treatment. Among the possible problems is interstitial cystitis, which is an inflammation or hypersensitive bladder. This can be tested for in the office. It usually occurs in women, but sometimes men also have the problem.

For women, you would get into the “PAP position” and rest your legs on leg crutches. The bladder is catheterized by sterile technique and any remaining urine is drained. One of two solutions is passed into the bladder and you report whether you have any symptoms. That solution is drained and the second solution is passed into the bladder to see if you experience any symptoms. The catheter is then removed from the bladder and you can urinate the remaining fluid. Dr. Saxer will discuss the test information and a treatment plan with you.

Those who have interstitial cystitis frequently benefit from putting medicine into the bladder. The bladder is catheterized and medication is passed through the catheter into the bladder. The catheter is removed and the medication is left in the bladder to help treat it.

Dr. Saxer performs many procedures for his patients to help diagnose or treat medical issues. If you need any procedure, make an appointment with Dr. Saxer. His fees are less than what you would pay through your insurance.

October '25 Health Tip - Incision and Drainage of Abscesses and Thrombosed Hemorrhoids

Do you have a very painful abscess, boil or hemorrhoid?

These can frequently be “lanced” or incised and drained to allow healing. Usually the area is cleansed and local anesthetic (numbing medicine) is injected. A scalpel or scissors is then used to open the abscess or hemorrhoid. Once the pus or clot is removed from inside the lesion, Dr. Saxer may need to remove some or all of the lining to help prevent recurrences. With abscesses, he may also pack the space with a cloth-like material to help remove further contents and allow it to heal faster. If a packing is placed, you or Dr. Saxer may need to replace it over the next several days. Antibiotics and pain meds may also need to be prescribed, and you’ll schedule a recheck.

Dr. Saxer performs many procedures for his patients to help diagnose or treat medical issues. If you need any procedure, make an appointment with Dr. Saxer. His fees are less than what you would pay through your insurance.
