Learn More About Dr. Sanchez

Desiree Sanchez, MD, specializes in the use of minimally invasive and robotic surgeries to treat common and complex urinary tract conditions and urologic cancers of the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and more. Minimally invasive and robotic surgery offer many benefits such as enhanced visibility and range of motion. They also allow patients to return home faster and with less pain and scarring than traditional open surgeries.

Dr. Sanchez was inspired to become a physician because of a lack of healthcare resources in the small central California town where she grew up. She knew at an early age she wanted to serve her community and help patients with difficult health issues.
