This is wrong. She's internal medicine, not gyn and she's not taking new patients

One of the most sarcastic, rude & difficult woman Drs. that I have ever seen. She was unkind & demeaning. The wait was over an hour & then she poked her head in & said if I would not let a med student see me that the wait would be even longer. HORRIBLE!!!

Dr Sastre provides insights into "why" you have a problem.She works WITH you & gives lots of encouragement. She is always available & truly cares. Her peers (overheard in ER) highly respect her. Her "follow up" is unique. She is a dedicated healer & a delightful person. I am so fortunate to be her patient.(70+)

Dr. Sastre is the best primary care physician I have ever had. She never beats around the bush. When there is a problem, she is always prompt in returning calls. She is an excellent doctor and excels in all areas. I highly recommend her.

At age 73, I've seen a few physicians. Dr Sastre is the best I've seen. Altho completely professional,she has a beautiful bedside manner, is courteous, and works with me on my problem. She always follows up and I trust her com-pletely. She took care of my mother the same way and helped guide her last years. "Compassionate and intuitive" is a good description. The best recom-mendation? Other physicians like and trust her. I depend on Dr. Sastre and pray she remains locally, at least until I pass on.

Dr Sastre has been my doctor for several years and I could not be happier. Her bedside manner is fantastic. She is honest and explains health issues in great detail.
