Dr. Sancetta has truly saved my sons life and mine. This is no figure of speech ladies, he quite LITERALLY did! I am forever grateful for working such a miracle for us (our story at the end of the review)... If you ever need an ob to feel 100% comfortable with, who has extensive knowledge and experience, who is understanding and respectful, and in case of a real emergency, when time is really of the essence as it was my case, happens to have his office across the street from Jackson South, then he is definitively the one for you!
This is not my first pregnancy and I switched to him because he was next to Jackson, my closest hospital, which I though meant he'd probably make it there quickly for delivery, little did I know that his office location would be such a big advantage in our case! I'd also heard great things about him from a couple other sources.
The appointment wait time is minimal, I've never waited over 10 mins to be brought in, even if I'm late. I'm probably the most annoying type of patient because I have a million questions and "what if" scenarios but he always takes the time to answer and make sure I understand. He doesn't overbook, as opposed to my previous ob where I always waited over an hour and with a toddler in tow it can feel like an eternity! His staff is always friendly and attentive, his receptionist is the sweetest person!
The office is always clean and smells great. Yes you have to go for labs and ultrasounds elsewhere but that's the case with many other offices too, its really no big deal.
Dr Sancetta is seriously amazing, he is calm and confident during apts but will react immediately if the situation calls for it. I cannot emphasize enough how he is the reason I made it alive and my son was able to pull through the very precarious situation we were both in.
If you'd like to know my story then here's the short version: I was 36 weeks pregnant and about 4 am I started having abdominal pain, I left the Dr Sancetta a voicemail with the answering service at around 6:30am which he returned within a few minutes, telling me right away that it was not normal and that I should get seen soon. Thanks to morning traffic by the time i made it to the hospital it was already his office hours, figuring he'd see me faster than an ER doctor I went to see him instead. He assessed me right away and told us to go to the maternity & delivery at Jackson, this is where the office being across the street from the hospital made a huge difference! Once we were there everything happened very quickly: tests & ultrasound were done faster than I've seen before, Dr Sancetta made sure to convey to the nurses the severity of the situation and the need to act as fast as possible. He was by our side the entire time and noticing my condition and the baby's worsened by the minute he performed an emergency c section which saved both my life and my child, I had severe internal bleeding and the baby needed resuscitation but thankfully recovered afterwards, all thanks to his knowledge in recognizing my condition and acting so quickly saving both our lives!
Ladies it is so important to have an good doctor during your pregnancy, no matter how much you take care of yourself, like I did, complications can happen at any time and an excellent doctor like Dr Sancetta can make all the difference in the world for you and your baby! read more
