My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for a year and finally conceived. At my first appointment we learned there was no heart beat. We were obviously heart broken and Dr. Sanko’s first response was to ask me why I was crying. If you can’t understand why that news would be devastating, and you think that is an appropriate way to speak to a patient, then you should not be practicing medicine.

Love the care I have received. Staff is friendly and supportive. Wait time is short. Dr. Sanko takes all the time you need to answer questions. Wonderful bedside manner! I am confident in having surgery with him and the DaVinci method.

Dr. Sanko has been my Dr. for 20 years. He is the kindest, most compassionate Dr. I have ever had. He has helped us through infertility and helped us understand that adoption would help us complete our family. I had a total hysterectomy in February, 2012 and everything went great. I had the robot method and there was very little pain and recovery was speedy. I cannot thank Dr. Sanko enough for the quality care he has provided me over the years. I have referred many women to him and will continue to do so. Thanks so much.

I like Dr.Sanko.very much. Sometimes waiting to been seen makes me really nervous. When he opens the door and greets me, I settle right down.. Never rushes me.He has also performed surgery on me and followed me through my treatments for cancer. Very compassionate, professioal,and decent man. Nurses are very nice. Receptionist and check out people cold and indifferent.

If you are looking for a new OBGYN this is the man to see. Yes he is a man, but I have been going to him since I was 24, I'm now 42 and have never felt more comfortable talking about "some really private, & personal issues" with such ease and empathy. He listens and does not make you feel embarressed at all. He is very gentle during exams and makes you feel as if you are just in there to talk.
