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.

Avoid at All Costs
Dr. Sanford's office is the worst. Find another practice, or you will regret it.

Not Returning
Although Dr Sanford was gentle in her approach to banding my hemorrhoids, she caused even more bleeding where wearing a sanitary napkin was necessary for weeks! This result happened after the first and second round of internal hemorrhoid banding. I will not return for a third time!!

Dr Sanford is AMAZING!
I would definitely recommend Dr Sanford. She is very thorough and knowledgeable. She takes the time to listen and explains everything in a way that makes it easy to understand. She ordered a colonoscopy and she removed two polyps. One was precancerous, therefore, I believe Dr Sanford saved my life because I had planned on waiting 6 months to have it done. I’m grateful to her!

Excellent Provider
I was preferred to Dr. Sanford by my PCP. I love that she listens to me and goes above & beyond to resolve my health problems. She is very thorough and the reason I am no longer in pain. She found a problem and quickly sent me to see another doctor. Her office staff in both locations are very kind and patient. I am very pleased with the quality of care that I am receiving from Dr. Sanford.

She Listens AND she knows the Answers!
Dr Sanford is the star of my medical team.I have never asked her a question that she didn’t share a good bit of her knowledge.She listens to my concerns and picks up on any bit of nervous feelings I have about an issue . She is thorough, friendly and compassionate. I won’t go so far as to say I’d make up an illness just to visit her, but I definitely trust her with my health. Her entire staff and both Paulding and Douglasville have been top notch .
