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.

So professional. So caring.

Simply the best

Dr DeSancho is one of a kind, nobody comes close to her level of dedication and discipline, intellect and empathy. If you want a hematologist who is outside thinker, assertive, and will err on the side of safety and proactive decisions, then you will know she is right Dr for you. I am forever grateful for her guidance during a very critical health crisis in my life, and about to undergo surgery soon, so will be relying once again upon her skillful confident direction to my other doctors.

Excellent specialist with bedside manner
I have been a patient of Dr De Sancho for over 10 years. She is excellent, while a cure has not been found, Dr De Sancho has adjusted my diet and that has controlled my symptoms. Whenever another doctor requests a procedure that may have a bleeding issue, I make it clear that they must consult Dr De Sancho first!
