Doctor Sanchez is the type of doctor who shares his practice with other less qualified doctors. To get an appointment with Mr. Sanchez himself is near impossible. After years of bad service and sticking to his practice due to him being my families primary doctor for years, I tried to make one last attempt at actually meeting with Mr. Sanchez himself.
This is how it went: As in most doctors offices I was put to wait about an hour for the Doctor to actually get to me. When he finally stepped into the office without even greeting me he began to ask what was the problem. As I began to explain my medical situation he didn't even bother to take a moment to even look me in the face and acknowledge my presence. He seemed more inclined to get in and out of there as quickly as possible.
I presented him with two medical situations which without letting me even finish my sentence he began to prognose. As I tried to let him know there was something else that I needed serious attention with, he immediately interrupted me and told me that wasn't what I had come here for and that if I wanted to get that checked I would need to make another Appointment and co-pay off-course to visit him another day to go over it. This is coming from the man that to actually get him in the office and not some low grade Doctor assistant of his was practically impossible. I went to further explain I was already in the office if he could please and again I was interrupted and rudely told that if I had a problem with that he could simply refund my co-pay and see me another day.
This comes after I have waited for him for over an HOUR and he had merely given me perhaps 3 minutes of his time. It saddens me to see someone not worthy of practicing the art of medicine practicing it so lightly. Without the respect it should be practiced with. Each patient is as important as the next if you can't understand that you should not be a doctor.
When I promptly asked him why he couldn't see me for all the medical reasons I had come to the office for ( a second time because months prior his Doctor on call told me my pains were of "growing older pains and that I should not worry.. is that a medical reason dare I ask?) his reply was I have no time for it, I have to be somewhere else. Imagine being me at that moment. Disrespected- be-littled by your own Doctor after all you wanted was to actually have a sit down with the elusive man that the practice after all is named after.. Needles to say we had a switching of words and I walked out of the office extremely disappointed and still sick and in pain with no resolve.

My Advice, RUN OUT THE DOOR AND DON'T LOOK BACK! This Doctor is a fraud and doesn't know the FIRST THING about bedside manner nor does he take others into consideration. He is there for one thing only and that is THE MONEY.
