"Amazing doctor, surgeon, and all around decent person!!! I broke my femur below the hip ball in a freak bicycle accident and ended up having emergency surgery (different surgeon) to put a rod in. My body does horribly with any implant due to autoimmune conditions. After waiting the required 12 months before the rod could be removed, and being fairly non-functional for the last three months, I was referred to Dr. Sands. Having lived over a decade with chronic conditions, I was prepared to have to convince him to remove the rod as most surgeons will say that titanium doesn’t cause reactions (they don’t for MOST people). Fortunately, my X-rays showed an issue with one of the screws that warranted the hardware coming out, so even if he wouldn’t have believed me about my reaction to the implant, he would have removed it anyway. But here’s the thing, he 100% believed me! Being heard and believed when you have chronic conditions that cause your body to behave in unconventional ways is so rare!! ...
Dr. Sands totally gets it. He walked my spouse and me through everything and was able to get me into surgery within a week of the consult. At my follow up, when I mentioned the itching were the staples had been, he kindly reminded me that my body saw them as foreign object the same way it did the implant. He wasn’t arrogant or unkind that, in my state of recovery and not completely rested, I hadn’t put that together. I’m not someone who stresses over how scars are going to heal as I think they’re cool, however if this matters to you I will say that even at just 3 weeks out, they look really good! If you haven’t figured it out, I highly recommend Dr. Sands. "

  • December 14, 2022
"I don't just give out 4-star reviews, they have to be earned! I could not be happier with the care i received from Dr. Sands. He was at all times professional, but at the same time, I never got the impression he wasn't listening to me and trying to accommodate my requests, so long as it was in my best interest. Dr. Sands is the exception to the surgeon stereotype, in all of the best ways. I can assure you, his other patients feel the same way. "
  • November 5, 2022
"Dr. Sands is the best. He is knowledgeable, never rushes you through, and is always ready to listen to your concerns. I have been a patient of his for 7 years. After falling and suffering a very traumatic broken wrist he fixed me with a surgery adding a plate and 6 screws. He has also given me injections for trigger finger on 3 different fingers. One was very stubborn and ended up needing surgery. But, again he did a wonderful job. Can't even see that scar. I very highly recommend Dr Sands and would give him a 10+."
  • August 31, 2022
"I am very happy with Dr Sands. He is not in a rush/doesn't recommend surgery at this time. He wants to do the least invasive procedure as possible to get the best results. He was also very optimistic about getting my insurance to cover the injection I need. "

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.
