Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Had my colonoscope by Dr. Sandberg, received an accurate description of the operation everything went as scheduled and described.

I have been a patient of Dr Sandberg for years. He is an exceptionally caring and compassionate doctor who is extremely knowledgeable and caring about his patients. It’s not often that a person will look forward to seeing a doctor when they have a problem, but I can say Dr Sandberg is the exception to the rule.

Dr. Sandberg appeared to me to be very knowledgeable about Gastro area and Indeed he has decades of experience. Great to speak to and he explained things to me very nicely unlike so many other doctors I have been to. Another thing was that he performed a thorough exam unlike other doctors. Hw is a gem of a.doctor.

What can I say... They broke the mold when they made Dr. Sandberg. It's unfortunate he doesn't do it all. God bless him and may he be blessed with another 100 years ahead of him. Words can't express how lucky we were to find him on zocdoc.
