Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Disrespected and dismissed
Dr. Sanchez was 1 hour late (first appointment). She asked me why I'd undressed, since it wasn't a well-woman appointment. I replied that it was, and she said that she was only here to examine me for my complaint (an issue I mentioned to the receptionist). She refused to order a mammogram, an STI test, and my estrogen prescription (challenging why I even needed it, even though I'd had a total hysterectomy). She dismissed my request to use a small speculum, saying 'You don't have a cervix; why would I need that?' I told her my regular gynecologist did a Pap test every other year after my hysterectomy to check for abnormal cells, so I thought it was routine. She examined me with her gloved hands, but even though the area was very painful and swollen, she didn't order any tests (urine, blood, biopsy, nothing). She prescribed topical estrogen, I guess because she thought the problem was dryness, but it's worse now. She was not gentle or empathetic, and made a surprising anti-sex comment.

I love Dr. Sanchez she is straight out no sugar coating straight facts, I trust her, she is on it and acts quickly. I was referred to her with my 2nd pregnancy as my first pregnancy ended at 20 weeks digestion with Dr. Akerman as he failed to notice I had a incompetent cervix. Thankfully my OBGYN for my 2md pregnancy fell ill and I was referred to Dr. Sanchez as soon as she read my file and saw me she scheduled me for the next day to get a stitch and I was able to carry my baby to full term under Dr. Sanchez's care. yes she is blunt and fierce but she is on it

Three days later at my baby and me appointment. They tell me my blood pressure is a little high. I tell them I know it was like that when i left the hospital the Dr. said it is "normal" I had called Dr.Sanchez office 3 times before my appointment to let her know about my my back pain vaginal pain swelling and blood clots and they told me it was "normal" and since i had never had a baby i believed them.

She is funny and patient especially With me being pregnant with my first baby I had so many questions. During my whole pregnancy she was very kind and informative. She even fought with my insurance to make sure I was able to get the care I needed.

She is not trustworthy. My baby was in fetal distress and my labor wasn't progressing quickly. She gave me oxytocin and my baby's heartbeat went below 50beats /minute. Another doctor decided that I needed an emergency C section. Thanks God that saved my baby.

She was late for an hour and when I asked how much longer she started yelling at me that she didn't know how much longer and I had to wait as long as it took. Very rude not professional Ned's anger management classes. I have never been to a doctor in my life time that treated hear patient so poorly. The whole appointment was rushed she didn't spend 5 minutes with me after putting me through an hour and half waiting for her.
