I've been going to Dr Sarachek for several years, he knows my medical history very well, he is very attentive to what I say and he always answers my questions over and beyond necessary. Necessary. He also sometimes calls me personally to follow up with me about Issues I discussed with him in my previous visit. Dr. Sarachek, he's a great caring and knowledgeable doctor.
