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.

Excellent Physician

Stay away
It just came to my attention that my elderly parents who have worked forever came to Dr. Sanders for an appointment. After an hour and half wait they politely asked if they should reschedule. Dr Sanders berated them both commenting that he doesn’t get paid enough for his Medicare patients and treated them like garbage. I am sorry he feels this way. Then have him decide not to accept that insurance. However, if he is going to accept it then he should be kind and compassionate. Maybe Harvard does not teach that but I graduated from NYU and we did learn to take care of our patients with the utmost respect. My wife and I bend over backwards taking care of the elderly everyday. As he told them to write a review and make sure everyone they know should be aware of him , here it is.

Very thorough
He's a very competent Dermatologist . He's also booked all the time and therefore very busy . It's hard to get an appointment. Even though he's busy, when he's with you, he's nice and thorough and not rushed . I would trust him. He's very, very good! And he has a nice staff.

I would never recommend this office the staff were extremely rude and abrupt and I have never met such a rude, arrogant, nasty doctor in my life. He ignored my questions and told my 9 year old son how to ask him a question respectfully when my son asked if the procedure would hurt him. I was horrified at the entire experience overall.

I have seen multiple specialists (allergists, dermatologists, and PCP) for a skin condition with no answers. After a consultation with Dr. Sanders I finally have a diagnosis for my condition . He is comprehensive and thorough - I recommend him highly . He has called me on weekends to review lab results . He is kind and compassionate .

Having a skin condition of unknown origin I went to Dr Sanders for a second opinion. He took his time reviewing all my test results and then examined me. After a long conversation he wanted to investigate deeper into my blood tests. I have a long rare cancer history so Dr Sanders took time over the weekend to research my cancer and possible correlation to skin condition. Point is he took his time and didn’t jump to conclusions. Exactly what I wanted. Needless to say he is my new skin doc because I know he will leave no stone unturned and he cares.

This was my first visit with Dr. Sanders. I have a not so ordinary condition and Dr. Sanders treated me by explaining everything that I had and what had to be done. He even took the time to write everything down for me as a guide. I feel very confident in his hands and would recommend Dr. Sanders as a very competent and caring dermatologist. I would give him a six star review, if I could.

I had a 3 month follow-up with Dr. Scott Sanders. Prior to that appointment I had a procedure done, which required suture removal. I spoke with the office staff and had the suture removal combined with my 3 month appointment. At my appointment, the sutures were removed by the PA and when Dr. Scott Sanders came into the room for my appointment, he stated: "I don't have an appointment and I have no time for you. The last time you were here your appointment took up to much of my time and the insurance company doesn't pay me enough. Find yourself a new doctor." Dr. Sanders was unprofessional and disrespectful. I would not recommend him to anyone due his terrible bedside manner and his terrible patient care.

A very caring doctor. More than once has Dr. Sanders called me on a Sunday to catch up and verbalize his process and concerns. I came to Dr. Sanders in a very bad place and have had to leave a 36 year career because of my health. He has been instrumental in my ability to wear clothes and go out for a couple of hours.

Having so many physicians in my family, I am well aware of what a blessing a patient centric Dr. can provide to alleviate medical concerns. Dr. Sanders practices medicine with a combination of empathy, professionalism and expertise. He practices his craft as if the patient is a member of his own family. Highly recommended!
