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.

Took whatever time was needed
He always took time for his patience and explained what needed to be done, why, pro and cons, gave you time to decide and took care of it right then if you wanted to. Very sad that he Retired.

Careless
Went in to have a small bump removed from my arm Dr Sands took partial sample for biopsy instead of taking whole bump which was less than a 5th of an inch. Results from biopsy were fine. But I still have the bump and a bill over $3000

Love Dr. Sands & staff! I’ve been seeing Dr. Sands for many years, BUT I was disappointed with AP Derm’s scheduler. A scheduling SNAFU caused me to have to wait for an hour today before seeing the doctor.
