By far Dr. Sanitato is the best psychiatrist I've encountered throughout my entire lifetime. I have suffered with depression for most of my life and have never experienced such a caring doctor. He is extremely knowledgeable and very intelligent yet has a great sense of humor which puts you at ease. He is also an excellent communicator and listener. On a scale of one to ten he is definitely an eleven.
