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.

Supportive and responsive
Dr Sandler listens and is supportive responsive and kind.

Takes more than an hour of wait. I wish they were more professional. It’s the same lack of care for patients that is reflected from the moment you walk in and are greeted by a receptionist who doesn’t want to be there and has an expression of did you really have to come. Poor communication, interest or general care. Overall a very negative experience.

I had a bad experience with dr. Sandler. I am suffering with swelling of my left arm since August of this year. She sent me to do difference kind of simple test and still she could not figure out why I have swelling. All the time I pushed her to give me more test to do and she did not want to sent me to do more deep test. Always she told me that she does not know why I have a swelling. So I don't want to recommend her to anybody.

Dr. Bella Sandler is a wonderful, caring and compassionate doctor, very hardworking and patient. The waiting time sometimes can be longer than expected, but it's worth it. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for PCP in my neighborhood.
