    Dr. Sakach is the only reason I have not transferred to Piedmont Hospital. She is so relatable. Emory network on other hand is too big and continues to proved to me that they do not care about my emotional healing. Piedmont professional have done that for me. I am thankful for the medical professional but the system sucls and the farthest thing for being customer focused. Again, I am here for Dr. Sakach, I hope she continues with me on this crazy breast cancer journey. Do better Emory!
