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.

Positive experience
Dr. Sands truly made us feel welcome with her warm and friendly demeanor, especially toward my daughters, who are two and five. It was also my two-year-old's first visit and she was happy the entire time. It was wonderful to see how well she connected with them, which made their experience so positive. Overall, our visit was truly great, and I feel so grateful to have found her practice.

Dr. Sands and her team are the best. They are very personable with all of my sons. Making sure to ask them how school is going and how they are feeling. I am so happy we are using Dr. Sands for her services.

Amazing!
Amazing experience beginning at the front desk all the way to the actual procedure. Dr. Sands is truly the best she asked my daughter what her favorite music was and she got her tooth pulled listening to Taylor Swift. Extraction done and my daughter didn’t even realize it. Highly recommend and so happy we went to her.

Best ever!
We started off our dental journey with Dr Sands and then had to switch due to coverage changes. But when the opportunity arose, we switched back immediately. The office staff is warm and friendly, always knowledgeable, helpful and on top of things. Dr Sands is through, gentle,

Been coming for 17 years- and it's great!
I've been coming here for 17 years. I started as a young child and now I'm 19. For all 17 years the staff has been Incredible- caring, careful, and very professional. The dentist and orthodontist are both very knowledgeable and caring and professional. They have always made sure I was taken care of as best as possible and that I and all other patients got exactly what we needed. The staff is basically family. These people are amazing.

We took our 2yr old son for his first appointment with Dr. Sands. She was so wonderful, nice, and knowledgeable. What I thought would be a disaster with a toddler turned into an easy, pleasant experience. The office was so welcoming and great. Dr. Sands was so patient and kind with our son and answered all of our questions and questions we didn’t even know to ask. All the staff were so nice and kind. Would highly recommend Dr. Sands and All About Smiles we loved it there!!

The best kids dentist!
We love Dr. Sands and the whole team. The front office is so friendly and accommodating and makes it easy to make and reschedule appointments. The staff makes the kids smile and puts them at ease throughout their appointments, even on tough days when they have to get a cavity filled. And they make the whole process so quick, I am in and out with 3 kids and never wait. Couldn’t ask for a better experience at the Dentist. Thank you!
