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.

Deceptive Practices regarding Insurance
Being new to the area, I needed to select a new insurance plan and primary care doctor. A family member had been a patient of Dr. Sanka and spoke highly of him. I searched Florida Blue's website and selected one of their top Platinum plans, paying approx. $500 month. Before I purchased the insurance, I wanted to verify Dr. Sanka was covered under the plan. I easily found him on the Florida Blue directory, confirming that he was covered under my plan and that he was accepting new patients. After my insurance was established about a week later, I called Dr. Sanka's office to make my first appointment. The office staff proceeded to tell me Dr. Sanka does not accept Florida Blue, despite being listed multiple times under a list of accepted physicians on Florida Blue's website AND the Florida Blue website having a large, bold disclaimer, 'To make sure you're seeing correct information, only providers who confirm the accuracy of their information with us every 90 days are listed.'

Horrible Dr/patient relations. Totally uncaring for their patients. My 90yr old mother fell and could not walk. Dr Sanka refused to prescribe a wheelchair. I was having to carry her on my back to the bathroom and to the car to get her to Dr office! Finally a nurse advocate from Humana insisted he prescribe the wheelchair. Thank God for Humana! And even then it was like pulling teeth to get the staff to follow thru. Horrible patient care.
