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 am a 70-year-old male that had wall-invasive bladder cancer. Dr. Sands was my oncologist, working with my urological surgery team. The chemotherapy path for this disease has the potential to be unpleasant. But Dr. Sands addressed my treatment with urgency, care, respect, and humor. It could not have been better. As a result, I had no spread of disease and am happily learning how to function with a neobladder. I am long since back to work, healthy and happy.

My mother has just completed the 1st stage of her treatment under Dr Sands' care. In her early appointments, accessing her condition and considering the various treatment options, our family found Dr Sands to be incredibly knowledgeable, aware of and involved in research and clinic trials, considering all options inside and outside of the box. He is genuine & personable, listened to & answered our questions, using analogies that truly helped us understand very complicated information.
