Write ReviewPatient Experience with Dr. Sands
- Honest
Dr Andrew Sands should be sued for malpractice and his license should be revoked. He only cares about money and not the patient. He is old , rude and unprofessional and his laziness, refused to give me a referral for an MRI. Luckily, I saw a real doctor and got my surgery approved . He misdiagnosed me. His office staff are ashamed: embarrassed to work there that when you discuss Doctor Sands decision they just roll their eyes and put their heads down and advise you that “there are better doctors out there.”
