Only go to Dr. Sanchez if you need to be on psychiatric medications. Otherwise it’s a complete waste of time.

October 7, 2023Sophia T.Verified patient
Dr. Sanchez was so kind, understanding, and patient! She took the time to know me before discussing med options, and even gave me the choice to process information for the next week before I made the decision. I’ve avoided the idea of meds for a long time, and she reassured me of the measures she takes to prescribe the best treatment for ME, not generic. She also reassured me of how the meds work with my mental health, which put me at ease. I was so nervous in meeting a psychiatrist for the first time, and I will never switch providers now that I’ve met her. She was so warm and inviting, and she showed true care and concern for getting me back to my best self!
May 13, 2023Candice W.Verified patientVideo visit

she's in excellent doctor but I'm not completely certain she was aware that I had an appointment before I called the morning of the appointment which is something that I've run into with this app. no complaints about the doctor at all

My visit with Dr. Sanchez was great. She is a wonderful good listener and seems to be a very compassionate doctor. She likes to ensure that her patients are safe if she prescribes them meds which I personally find great.
I feel as if Dr. Sanchez is also a kind & compassionate person as well. Kindness and caring emanate from her being which is something I personally like in a doctor especially when they are also smart, like Dr. Sanchez is.

Dr. Sanchez was wonderful. I was nervous about meeting with a psychiatrist for the first time, but she was very patient and a great listener. She definitely seems like she wants to help, not just prescribe something. I'm very happy with choosing her for a consultation.

Dr. Sanchez is detailed and full of care for her patients. She has thoroughly impressed me throughout each of my appointments with her genuine questions, memory of my history, and overall excellent service.
More than 1 year agoMadison H.Verified patientVideo visit
She’s super sweet but does seem like she is in a rush. My last appointment was less than 15 minutes and I have yet to figure out the right treatment for my insomnia...
November 12, 2020Initials hiddenVideo visit
Waited a few minutes after scheduled appointment time to be seen. Dr. Sanchez was a good listener and definitely seemed to be fluent in what kind of medication therapy would work best for my specific issues. I felt a hint of coldness and I wasn't sure how well of an "active listener" she was, but for medical management, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others. I'll be following up with her in about a month.

Very professional, calm, thoughtful & empathic
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
Very friendly and attentive. Asks all the correct questions to gain insight to your current mental and emotional status. Doesn't waste time on unrelated issues that can be treated by your primary physician.
In a short period of time, she had a very good base to work from. I am going back in two weeks to evaluate my progress. My son was worried that I was approaching a manic episode, so she was very acutely tuned to my behavior. New prescription; blood work in a week; and second visit in two weeks.
She is friendly but serious.

Dr. Sanchez was so understanding and really took the time to explain everything to me in terms that I could actually understand. I was a little nervous since it was my first ever visit to a psychiatrist but she made me feel validated and addressed my concerns about medication and treatment. I would definitely recommend her! The office staff was also incredibly nice and willing to work with me so I really appreciated them as well.

Excellent interaction. The office is busy though, but that didn't bother me. If you need privacy you might want to find out if you can get it.

Yo Zoc Doc, suggestion: Be a little smarter, don't offer facebook to psychiatrist, they put a back door in the office for a reason.
Dr. Sanchez is great, focused and fast. If you need this kind of assistance definitely recommended. Not for the faint of hear though, this is a solid practice with people in the office waiting room. So if you are shy, might want to consider a different Dr.
But for what I am looking for she is perfect and spot on.
