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.

Awesome professional
Dr. Sands was very professional. I was very pleased with his manner and ability to relay his findings to me. I'm very happy with him as my neurologist and I highly recommend him.

This is barbaric & has no proof of truly identifying the real pain you were suffering compared to what you will now suffer forever . It felt like it was endless frivolous needle stabbing until he got the reading he wanted. How can stabbing needles into your body give anyone proof it is real pain or your faking it? You’d think every time I jump when he stabs my body, the tears flowing down my cheeks, or telling him you are hurting me would be clear enough. He reported she has (cervical radiculopathy) nerve damage in her neck, everything else normal. Primary Dr called it weak evidence of an inactive C7 radiculopathy & does not explain her symptoms or contribute to her shoulder pain & no inflammation. The Dr I paid for said something different, but Fedex only acknowledged these reports. After emg A lady came in & help me put my shirt back on, i laid on his couch until i could walk. 2 nurses helped me to my car in a wheelchair. These new injuries has forever changed my life.

Absolutely trash, and should be de licensed. I have never met a more uneducated, self centered, and most of all rude human being ever. If I could give no stars I would. A sell out from insurance company's and should be in jail for being a disgrace to "Dr's". Please stop practicing, and go in a career where you will actually succeed.

I'm frankly surprised @ the negative reviews I've seen here. I've been his patient now for over 5 years, and I couldn't ask for a better neurologist. I have a rare type of peripheral neuropathy that other Dr.'s were/are clueless about. His "chairside" manner, which includes sense of humor, is on the dry side. If you realize that going in, it presents no problem. His knowledge & listening skills more than make up for it.

This man is arrogant and very unprofessional. I was sent to him from the VA for a re evaluation of my service connected injury. Very dismissive. He would ask me questions and then treat me as if I were telling him something untrue. He was impatient with me while I was telling him about my injury, the one that was one of the more tramatic experiences in my life. Absolutely terrible.

Horrible chairside manner. Arrogant and dismissive. Asked questions then interrupted saying he didn't need to know what I was telling him. Would never recommend!!

being in the health care field myself I thought his chair side manner was poor to say the least .He was not friendly at all about the only conversation we had was what is wrong, roll up your sleaves, this is going to shock you and then I am going to stick you with some little needles. his diagnosis was blunt with little explanation. I would not refer anyone there.

When he was doing the test with needles in my right arm , he ask : Dr Sand : " What are you doing here"? ME:" works Compensation send me." Dr Sand : " What are you doing here in USA"? ME: " My husband is from here" Dr Sand : " so is his fault!" Me: " not his fault " Dr Sand :" I am just Kidding, you are welcome in United States" The only thing I have to say about his comments is : I have been here for 21 years , this was the first time I felt unwelcome in USA.

Did not contact/consult me with results of tests. Sometimes my leg hurts from where he jabbed with the needle.
