Dr. Sanchez saved my dad’s life after a severe stroke. He is forever our hero. He was attentive and always caring.

Unlike the other "esteemed" neurologists I saw in San Diego, who discounted the cause and severity of my health problem, I am alive today because Dr. Sanchez listened closely and did what the medical journals recommended; that is, he diagnosed correctly my situation, obtained a difficult pre-approval from my health insurance, and successfully inserted a stent in my left internal carotid artery without complications. I cannot recommend him and his team enough.

I am so impressed with everything about Dr. Rene Sanchez. He has taken three other diagnosis and decided to do some testing that would give me a complete accurate picture of my situation. He is a top notch, highly skilled Doctor, with interpersonal skills that are great. This is the best experience I have ever had with a Doctor.

Dr. Sanchez is one of a kind, first class surgeon ! He is confident, highly educated and skilled, but humble and caring with a wonderful bedside manner. When he performed my surgery he made me feel safe and assured me everything would turn out well... And it did! I highly recommend Dr. Rene Sanchez.

So happy to have found this warm, super -intelligent, personable, brain surgeon after 6 yrs. of searching. I finally feel confident and ready to have the surgery I need because of my faith and belief in his skills and amazing ability to relate to me and my situation.

Dr. Sanchez is a world-class brain surgeon--highly skilled and meticulous. His bedside manner is excellent. He takes the time to explain things well and takes great pride in his work, while remaining friendly and humble. His staff/surgical assistants also all seem to have great respect for him and his work. Good outcomes are never certain, but Dr. Sanchez will give you the best chance. He removed my skull base meningioma with no loss of function and very rapid recovery.

Dr. Sanchez was recommended to me by three other Dr's after I was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. I am very pleased with the manner in which he handles my care and the follow-up he has provided. I highly recommend him.
