Patient Reviews

- 5.0Jul 30, 2026If you're looking for a review for Dr.Margaret Sacco; she is an excellent communicator and conveys confidence, she is also observant of her patient physical condition. She asks good questions, and answered my questions clearly. We reviewed my family medical history, as well as my own medical history to determine what trends there might be. We reviewed my mammograms and sonograms where she showed me what she sees that causes concern. Then she reviewed with me, what the procedure for the biopsy would look like and how I should prepare. She reviewed what Medicare would likely pay for and what might be out of pocket. Very helpful information.
