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.

Sue Sanchez was my grandmothers doctor many years ago and helped her go through all her medications (when she moved to Nevada) and helped her with the ones that were not good with other medications and shouldn't of been mixed together. ultimately increasing her longevity of life. Now she is my doctor and has been very attentive and my needs and concerns. I called her about a concern for my son who was not her patient and she truly saved his life! No other doctor in the area took him serious about pain and she took her own personal time to call in a stat CTScan and we rushed him to the hospital with appendicitis before it burst. Thank you so much and deserve for people to know how much you care!

We Are Very Happy
We have been patients of Dr Sanchez for almost nine years and we couldn't be happier with her care. We trust her, respect her, and count on her to meet our every medical need.

She is an amazing and wonderful doctor.
She cares. She is extremely intelligent. She actually listens to the patient unlike some of these other health care professionals.

Great family med Doc!
We have had very positive experience with Doc Sanchez and her staff. If you’re looking for rainbows and unicorns go back to California! Doc Sanchez provides great service and has always responded promptly to my calls and or text messages. She listens to our input, and explains how to best provide care for optimal health. Her evaluations of my 94 year old father have always been spot on, and thanks to her he is still going strong!

I stopped using Dr. Sanchez when I asked for a refill for a prescription she had given me and she said in front of an intern that it wasn't her job to write prescriptions.

If you are looking for a pill pusher, she's the one. Gave me a scrip for an addictive heavy duty heartburn medication without suggesting I might try TUMs first and see if I got any relief. Have moved on....

I would not reccomend Dr. Sanchez, she not only insulted me on my weight and "how tough" I looked. She was very unprofessional to her staff in front of patients. I did not get any help, she told me "theres nothing in it for me" she did not look at my injury or consult my needs in any way. I walked out on the appointment due to feeling uncomfortable. She called my boss and left a rude voicemail. I highly dont recommend her.

My 87 year old mom went to Dr. sanchez complaining of bowel issues. Dr. Sanchez told her about laxatives and suppositories and anxiety medicine. 1 month later, my mom had bowel reconstruction surgery. Dr. Sanchez completely dismissed all of my moms concerns. Shame on her.

I brought my mother into Dr Sanchez for help with dementia. I was taken back at how rude and condescending she was. Dr Sanchez cruelly told me in front of my mother that she would not recommend anything but institutionalizing her. Her behavior indicated a devaluation of my mother because of her loss of memory. She treated her like trash that should be thrown away. The whole experience was mind blowing...why is Dr Sanchez even treating the elderly?

Refill ing prescriptions is terrible. The office does not respond to refill requests in an appropriate amount of time. Can as long as a week. The pharmacy has to contact The Dr. office several times.
