Dr. Sands and his staff were absolutely fantastic during the entire process from scheduling, explaining the procedures, financing options when my insurance fell through, communicating, providing pre- and post-op instructions, and ensuring I healed properly and with the least amount of discomfort possible. Every step was clear and easy and stress free thanks to him and his team.
