Dr. Denise Marie Ortega Sanderson, MD

Dr Sanderson and her staff are polite, professional and caring. From first consultation to after surgery follow up, I have felt comfortable and cared for. I highly recommend Dr Sanderson and her wonderful staff

I really struggled with changing doctors because she is very pleasant and has good bed side manners. But I was forced to change doctors because of the rude and disregard demeanor of the office staff. They made me feel like I was bothering them and did not want to assist me with my questions. I never received a call back when I requested one. I really hope that Dr. Sanderson does consider in changing her staff and hires people who care about her patients.

Dr. Sanderson is a great doctor. Her knowledge, bed side manner, how she explains everything and helps you feel better is exceptional. Very disappointed in how her office staff treats patients. My case is a long story, never got a chance to explain my story or situation, treated very poorly and even treated a member of a charitable organization who helps others very poorly too. I’m sad that as great as a doctor she is, this is the type of people you choose to represent who you are. I also know others who love Dr Sanderson and have very much disliked her staff as well. You can have a beautiful face but if the core is rotten and the heart is of stone you are only a beautiful face. Dr Sanderson as wonderful as you are you need people that share the same value of empathy, compassion , understanding and warmth to those you treat and are suffering from breast cancer and other health issues. I’m very sad that because of her staff I am forced to go elsewhere I loved her as my surgeon. I hope… because of this you don’t lose your credibility with this organization. Your staff is failing you.

I went in to see Dr. Sanderson earlier this year, 2018. I was so nervous as I did not know what to expect. We talked about my images, and Dr. Sanderson expressed her professional opinion that my breast issue was most likely something she could take care of in her office. She drained the small cyst in my breast! Her caring and professionalism comes across as sincere. She is the best! I would recommend anyone needing a breast specialist to her!

I was referred to Dr Sanderson by my GYN. My mammogram showed “something suspicious.” Dr Sanderson had a very calming manner. She used her ultrasound to localize the problem area, aspirated two cysts, put on a bandage and sent me on my way with a return visit scheduled. Honestly, I was so relaxed with her that I felt like I had made a new friend! I am an RN and have worked with many Doctors and know firsthand there isn’t a multitude of them like her!

She was very calm and positive through my entire experience, which helped calm my nerves. While my procedure was very stressful for me, she did everything she could to ensure I was comfortable and at ease. I have recommended her to others.

My husband and I sat waiting for the doctor scared and unsure of what was to come. When Dr. Sanderson came into the room she said....This is small, it was caught early, I am sure you will not lose your hair or be sick. This is just a "bump" in your road of life. From that point on, we felt relaxed and confident that we would be able to handle this "bump". Through the biopsy, lumpectomy, "savi" radiation treatment and continued follow up she has always explained thoroughly my options, possible outcomes, statistics etc. She is a compassionate, competent and very caring surgeon. I will continue to follow up with her for as long as she recommends.

Dr. Sanderson and her staff are wonderful. She and Linda both have wonderful bedside manner, are caring and take to time to explain everything. This is the only office that I have received hugs after an appointment - and they are very sincere hugs. Dr. Sanderson's skill as a surgeon is wonderful; My scar is very small for the lumpectomy and sentinel node removal and she also drained my large cysts during the procedure. I have had little discomfort from the office biopsy, the surgery - including the isotope injections prior to surgery. The hospital Pre-op staff all raved about Dr. Sanderson and Linda and it is clear to me that they too know exceptional practice.

there are no words to describe this doctor but fantastic. She takes her time with you and treats you like a friend. I highly recommend this doc.

Dr. S. diagnosed my breast cancer in 2008. She did the surgery and all after care. She confered with Moffit, and other cancer specialists, to confirm that her decision regarding treatment was unanimous. She is carefull, confident, caring and I would recommend her highly.
