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.

My visit with Dr. Sanchez-Rivera has been exceptional, although I wait she takes time to go over my regimen, answer questions I have and provides great cultural health care. She talks to me about the latest research and the importance of my health. She pushes me to exercise because she cares. She is one of the best Dr' and is professional with her colleagues. Most important she h as cultural competency in addressing health needs.

Hosp intensevist said I had Mets to lungs and spine. Pulmonologist said it was infection. This dr didn’t want to verify the Mets with sample or treat the lung infection or my chrones disease(fx vertebrae was painful) pain meds and immobility contributed to constipation. I died at home screaming in pain when I ruptured my bowel. This dr was insensitive and well aware of my condition. I died in pain

It is with pleasure that I take a few minutes and write my experience as a patient with Dr. Sanchez. Dr. Sanchez not only treated my cancer she treated me with respect, compassion, and listened to all my problems. Her professionalism in performing her duties as an excellent Physician, counselor, and dedication to give the highest quality care to me is beyond anything that anyone in my condition with a bad case of prostate cancer can imagine. I have been battling prostate cancer since 2003. Had radiation in 2004with minimum result. PSA kept going higher and higher. So I decided to switch Physician. I switch to Dr. Sanchez. After trying different drugs and tests and chemotherapy, my PSA is back to normal I want to thank her for being so kind to me being so concern about my cancer. May the Peace and Love of our Lord Jesus Christ be with her forever.

Dr Sanchez has been my oncologist since 2004. She took me in as a patient after my original oncologist retired. I have found her to be attentive to my medical care and needs. She also became my mother’s oncologist and treated my mother with the upmost care and compassion. I will forever be grateful for the attention she gave my mother. She is a wonderful and dedicated doctor and cares about her patients. She remains vigilant of my health even though I have been in remission for several years now. I am still her patient to this day.

When my daughter and I first met her she showed us a lot of compassion and explained everything in detail to us. We could tell she was the one I was going to stick with. She helped put our minds at ease, which was such a relief. She has continued to be a blessing in my life as I see her every 2 weeks. She makes me laugh and she tells me what is going with on with me. I would totally recommend her to other patients who find themselves in my situation.
