I go to Dr Sanchez's office knowing that I can completely trust him. He truely wants the best possible route for his patients. Example: if he thinks something will heal given time, he will tell you that rather than jumping into a surgery that may not have been needed. He explains things in a way thats easy to understand.

Dr. Sanchez takes time to explain things to me and to answer my questions. He has always taken the time to make sure I understand what I need to know. The two nurses: are wonderful. They are friendly and make you feel like you are important. We are especially grateful for them making arrangements so that Dr. Sanchez could see my wife at the same time as my appointment so we would not need to make another trip on another day. Dr. Sanchez and all the staff at your facility are top of the line. We are grateful for them.

I was impressed with the way Dr. Sanchez explained what he was doing to both me and the nurses. Good teaching.
June 09, 2020
The physician is excellent, he comes off as very intelligent and confident in his field. He did not make much of an effort to connect with the patient as a person and did not make an effort to ensure the patient understood his terminology. The NP did a good job explaining the condition for him afterward, but we left with a lot of questions unanswered and confusion on the cause of the condition.
