I went to Dr Sands when I was a child. Now that I am in my 20s I am able to articulate my displeasure with this practice. Throughout my childhood, almost every checkup visit ended with a diagnosis of several cavities. At first my parents assumed I wasn't brushing my teeth well enough, but things started to seem strange when Dr Sands would say that she found a few more cavities while she was filling ones she had already found. At this point, when I was a teenager, my parents and I agreed that something seemed fishy so we decided that I go to try a new dentist. This new dentist found no cavities in my mouth, just a few months after Dr Sands had found 5 or 6. I have never been back to Dr Sands' office but I have a mouth full of fillings to remind me of the horrible experience I had there. I am very happy with my new dentist and rarely get cavities- however the cavities I have had have been under the fillings from Dr Sands when I was a child. I can't help but wonder if these possible unnecessary fillings have compromised my teeth. My sister had a similar experience. I also know of other families who have left Dr Sands' office unhappy. Please look elsewhere for your child's dentist. Find someone who is honest and fair.

Was this provider argumentative or easily angered?
Not at all, they were one of the kindest, most attentive individuals I've ever met

Hello i recently took my child to take care of some cavities. initially everything was great the doctors attention and service was more than satisfactory. My only problem with the the doctor and her office staff is that i had more than one issue with billing and all they could do is try and find a way around the issue at hand ultimately i stopped going to them because of their deceptive tactics and being over billed. i did everything i could to make sure that i knew what i was being billed for every procedure and i paid the neccesary co pays and i was still left with a bill afterwards....not trust worthy at all.

I don't trust this dentist after all the work she did on my child. Looking back a lot of the work now seems unnecessary. She doesn't except any insurance, you have to pay cash and they won't even submit a receipt to your insurance for you as a courtesy. I trusted everything she said because she is a medical professional buy now, I regret putting my child through all that work. Since switching dentists, my child has not had one cavity.......
