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.

We have been going to see Dr. Sanchez for years, and we always had to wait anywhere from 45 minutes to two-and-a-half hours past our appointment time to see her. Today we had an appointment that had been scheduled for six months, and yesterday her staff rescheduled it for four hours earlier today without telling us. They say that they called a number that is one digit different from mine, but no one knew. And then her front desk guy hung up on me when I told him this was unacceptable. In all honesty, Dr. Sanchez may be a competent doctor, but when the practice is as mismanaged as hers, it makes you wonder about the quality of care. Go somewhere else if at all possible. Get a referral to Children's in Birmingham, or I hear there is a pediatric neurologist in Columbus, GA. It's worth the extra time in the car to have a doctor who won't waste your time.

I am an RN of 16 years and mom for 13 years. I am extremely picky with my physicians; especially my children's physicians. Dr. Sanchez is a highly knowledgeable physician and she really takes the time out to listen to your problems and discusses treatments in depth. She is very thorough and thinks outside the box which is extremely rare these days in the medical field. I would recommend her to anyone searching for a pediatric neurologist. She has helped my daughter's migraines since she was 3.

She is an ok physician however her bedside manner could use a refresher course. She could listen to her patients/parents more, after all who does she think has spent their entire lives with them. Her staff is beyond help everyone i have ever dealt with in her office was SUPER uncaring, showed next to no compassion and was extremely rude. That says a lot to me that they have been allowed to remain employed and their attitudes reremain unchainged. It also says a lot about her as a supervisor.

Dr.sanchez front office secretary is very unprofessional , she sits right up front and wears glasses , she was offended when I asked why Dr. Sanchez's staff did not call me when my appointment for my infant son was canceled by their office, she laughed at me when I needed a special eeg appointment for my infant son and till this date they still have not gotten back to me with an eeg appointment it is a severe injustice that this Dr is the only choice for patients in Montgomery. GO TO BIRMINGHAM
