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.

I feel fortunate and am very happy to have found Dr. Kristina Sanchez at Innova Vein and Vascular to help me with vascular issues I was suffering in my leg. Both the care and the results have been excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Sanchez to anyone suffering from these or similar problems.

My experience with Dr. Sanchez, Christine, Melissa, Miriam and anyone else who assisted was above and beyond. The three different procedures I needed were performed extremely professional. Dr. Sanchez explained everything to the fullest. I highly recommend Dr. Sanchez and her team.

Best Medical Appointment Ever
Dr. Sanchez could not have been nicer, more patient, or more knowledgeable. She is so easy to talk to. Everyone else in the office was great too. I highly recommend this practice.

After a long battle with chronic pain and a rare condition that few, if any knew how to treat, initially I felt my consult with Dr Sanchez was going to be the same ol same ol .., confusion and then send me to someone else, but to my surprise immediately she had a plan and after being disappointed with Dr’s and medical pro’s that were unable to help me, this was instantly different! She recommended a procedure called an ablation to seal off my veins that weren’t working properly. The procedure was done in an efficient and noninvasive manner. I cannot begin to explain how much this has changed the quality of my life... I wish I could post a before and after of my entire life. Before the procedure I was constantly in a high amount of pain, and after the recovery period which was also quick I feel incredible...like a new person! This review is literally the least I could do...to highlight the excellent staff and care I received from Dr Sanchez and Innova Vein And Vascular! Thanks again DrS

Last year at this time, my days were spent in tremendous amounts of pain. I had a previous procedure done in a big hospital setting where I was treated like another number and sent on my way with horrible information based around aftercare and follow up. That procedure was extremely painful and financially took me years to pay off only to find out it did absolutely nothing to help my issues. I was finally referred to innova and in less than 6 months I just walked out almost completely pain free and with an excellent bill of health. The staff from front desk to physicians are incredible. Dr.Sanchez and Noah took the time to get to know me and my symptoms so they could formulate a plan based on the individuals needs and concerns. I have never had a better experience in a medical setting. Not only are they professional but they are equally personable. I will 100% refer anyone here looking to benefit from their services. Thank you for all you have done for me and giving me hope of a l

I found Dr Sanchez's staff extremely knowledgeable and professional from the radiology tech on to the rest of the staff esp. the young women who showed me how to put support hose on easily....a first. Dr Sanchez was wonderful in explaining the result of my ultra sound and a small clot in my vein. She was very personable. I would recommend her practice to my friends.

First I must share how beneficial a procedure this was. After 1 month healing time I was able to run continuously for 11 minutes which had been impossible for two years prior! Training in intervals and Journaling found no real improvements. I didn’t know the poor blood flow wasn’t recharging oxygen through my lungs. So that’s amazing and to top it off the care and efficiency of the staff was wonderful. Dr. Sanchez and Noah were detailed in assessing the best process and involved me fully. The entire experience, spanning numerous visits, was exceptional. I had to have this done 3 years ago and it was a total opposite experience. Now I have a comparison and I cannot recommend Innova enough!

I was referred to this clinic because of a ruptured vein in my ankle. This was the best thing I have experienced in years. It has been recommended I go on "water Pills" and a restricted diet because of swelling. Now that I have had my veins done the swelling is gone! I wish I had known about this years ago. Dr Sanchez and Ismael are two very dedicated and competent individuals. I want to tell everyone I know about this practice and procedure. The office and support staff are wonderful people as well. I cannot say enough about how grateful I am to all of them'

It has been an absolute pleasure and has provided me with incredible peace of mind being able to work with Dr. Sanchez and have her as a resource during the most stressful medical episodes of my life, when I was diagnosed with multiple DVT blood clots in my right calf, out of nowhere. Dr. Sanchez is knowledgeable, caring, thoughtful and a consummate professional. Additionally, she is a great communicator, very responsive and in my case went above and beyond. Her staff is also friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Sanchez and her practice, Innova Vein and Vascular, to anyone needing her services.

I couldn't even get in to see Dr. Sanchez because I miss placed my ID. Even know they have 90 days to submit billing... I KNOW this for a FACT having worked in medical billing MYSELF. I wasn't even offered the option of coming back in & showing my ID or faxing or texting a picture of it. VERY frustrating. I would have been more than glad to oblige. I showed the staff my discolored leg & that being my GOOD leg & was denied my appointment because they were more concerned about my ID & following the Federal protocol than they were about getting me the care I desperately NEED. I've heard of people wanting to pretend their someone else but I'd think that would be for a free all expense paid trip to Vegas or Hawaii. NOT TO GO seek treatment from a vein specialist. A little more compassion & understanding from the staff is what I'd recommend. EVERYONE'S situation isn't ALWAYS perfect. I'm HUMAN.

Dr. Kristina Sanchez performed radiofrequency ablation on my legs. This helped me feel years younger when walking and standing for long periods. What I attributed to aging was actually venous reflux. Great doctor and staff.

I was referred to Dr. Sanchez after I developed blood clots from achilles tendon surgery. She put me on Xeralto. For whatever reason, I had an episode of internal bleeding on Friday night. I called her office, & she returned my call within minutes via her personal cell. She stayed with me the whole weekend via phone/text. She also arranged for further checks (which were negative). She was there for me throughout everything. I cannot say enough for her personal care. Thank you!

I was very hesitant to have any procedures done on my legs. I was both a little afraid of how the procedure might affect me in terms of recovery and also any possible pain. The entire process has been exceptionally good. The staff is wonderful and Dr. Sanchez is so easy to talk to. She explains what to expect, and then goes on to explain what is going on during the procedure. I felt no pain, just a bit of general achiness in my leg which was brief. It was much better than I imagined.

The office is extremely clean and clearly designed as a place of healing. I am most grateful that during each of my procedures, that absolute precision was a priority and that the time needed was made to ensure this happened in addition to making it as comfortable as possible for me. I highly recommend it.

My story is that for many years I've had painful legs. In the 1970s I had to have vein stripping to relieve the pain.The recovery took several weeks. But my legs have been a constant source of pain. Recently I decided I needed to see a podiatrist(DR Sotello)who after examining me referred me to DR Kristina Sanchez. DR Sanchez is outstanding; she explains everything and is so very gentle. She treated both legs and I am feeling so much better for the first time in my life. I am so thankful .
