    Dr. Sanaka is an excellent Doctor. I value his knowledge and expertise. He is very respectful.I have not had any problem scheduling any appointment with Doctor Sanaka since I make it way in advance, but to see a physician at the clinic for a sudden and/or arising health problem is becoming very problematic at the Clinic and put patients life and health at risk. No patient should wait for a month or more to see a physician, That patient could die awaiting an appointment or have his condition worsen.
