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.

It’s been 24 years since Dr. Sataloff diagnosed my Brest cancer. She was knowledgeable, attentive to my needs, and treated me very kindly. I thank God every day for her. Dr. Sataloff is the best.

Dr Sattaloff is the best! Very professional and very reassuring. I knew instantly that I had chosen the right doctor. She took the time to answer all of my questions as well as all of the questions my family had. I’ve been cancer free for a few years now. I now live in South Georgia and have my mammograms done here but I make sure she receives the results and if I have future problems you can bet I’ll be on the next Delta jet back to Philadelphia. As I said, she is the best!

Dr. Sataloff is excellent. A top surgeon. Couldn’t feel more secure knowing my procedure was in her hands. Where you start is important and I would start with her to be reassured of a great outcome. I am a former patient and highly recommended her.

She forgot to schedule my scans and my surgery. She's dishonest, lied to me about my medical information and diagnosis. She didn't care about answering any of my questions. I asked her if the metal biopsy clips were removed during my surgery she said: "I don't know" and just walked out of the room on me and ended the appointment. A student I never met did my surgery and they did a terrible job. I had complications the physical therapist said she's never seen in a breast cancer patient before. The worst choice I made when I was diagnosed was going to Dr. Sataloff. I've heard from other Penn employees that she used to be a good doctor but that's no longer true and now she's to be avoided.

I called the office inquiring about scheduling an appointment as I had been diagnosed with breast cancer the previous day. The woman who took my call was so rude, I would never consider using this Dr.
