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.

I became ill the summer of '96. I initially met with Dr Sandman November of that same year. I spoke with him late one afternoon and he had me come meet with him the first thing the following morning. He saved my life. Literally. I met with him regularly every year for approx 20 years up until he moved out of Washington State. I would have never thought of leaving him for another Doctor. He worked with me, he clearly discussed issues with me, he had always been open and honest with me. I trust him with my life - he has always, and still is, available to me. He made that clear.
