About Me
Dr. Cesar Sanz has been in practice as a colorectal surgeon for over 15 years. After earning his medical degree from SUNY Health Science Center, Dr. Sanz entered his General Surgery residency at The Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. During this time, he had several leadership roles, including Chief Resident in his final year.

With his double board certification by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Colon & Rectal Surgery, Dr. Sanz specializes in minimally invasive procedures and advanced laparoscopic techniques. His work allows patients to return to daily activities within just a few days after major surgery. Additionally, Dr. Sanz is fluent in both English and Spanish.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
