Excellent visit Dr.Sands is a wonderful doctor. He listens and is very caring.

I've been seeing Dr. Sands for almost 40 years. He is the best doctor I have ever seen. Three other doctors in my experience run a close second, but Dr Sands is the best. He is thorough in his exams, listens to my concerns, refers me when applicable and asks appropriate questions. His only issue is that he is so good that he frequently runs over the alloted time and often runs late. While I was still working I got referrals from my PCP when he left my HMO so I could see him at the Brigham He's the best!

Dr. Sands is a very thorough and experienced physician. He's very professional yet friendly. I really like him and I do think that he is somebody I would recommend to other people.

Dr Sands' team responded to my Gateway message immediately. Within a few hours, he called me back and made space in his schedule the following day to see me. He said what I described was an urgent matter and I couldn't wait. He saw me and ordered everything needed so we would have answers about how to treat my arm/shoulder pain. The experience was actually pretty amazing. It's been my experience that your teams have been using technology, trained paraprofessionals and other assets to squeeze more patient care into a limited work day. And I'm a big fan of that. Dr Sands uses all the tools but most importantly for me - after others gather info - he responds with direct personal confident care that is incredibly reassuring. It was a very good experience. I'm glad you asked for feedback.
