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.

Dr. Sand and his staff are absolutely fantastic. Dr. Sand is a professional and his opinion is one you should definitely trust. Finding a new OBGYN is hard and I was so lucky to find him. He is direct and honest and that is exactly what I need to feel confident with my medical care. I would recommend him to everyone one. He made my second pregnancy and childbirth one most people dream of. His staff is also just as amazing as he is. They compliment eachother well which creates a great atmosphere.

Dr Sand was a perfect "assistant" in all four of my natural births. Hands down, he couldn't have made my experience more comfortable and secure. Firstly, I appreciate that he is confidant in a woman's ability to achieve and accomplish natural childbirth. He places value on the reward and value in trusting a woman's natural process. I never once was hooked up to machines for monitoring, was allowed to birth any way I wanted. No rubbing my back, no unnnessisary interference. Brilliant.

Dr Sand delivered my daughter via C-Section. He is very detail oriented, honest, caring and knowledgeable. His experience and expertise is outstanding. He took very good care of me during and after pregnancy. His office staff is amazing, very caring and always ready to answer your questions. I would recommend him to everyone.

Did not once ask what I wanted as far as tests or ultrasound. Invited a student midwife to watch without asking if I was comfortable with it first. Entire appointment felt rushed like he couldn't get me out of there fast enough.
