I have had nothing but top level surgery from Dr.Sands and the whole staff. After being refused by three other ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON S I was referred to Dr. Sands who excepted me ,a 73 yr. Old, overweight for a total hip replacement. The catch or compilation is that in1965 my thigh was crushed in a motorcycle accident . The doctor inserted a 18” rod from my knee to my hip ball. Being in the center of the bone for that many years the original removal process would not work. Dr. Sands successfully removed the old rod and installed the total hip replacement. I received what I considered to be excellent care by Dr. Sands, his nurses, hospital staff and everyone involved with the procedure. Thanks to Dr. Sands for giving my life back. C. B. F.
