I had LisFranc injury in 2003.
Dr. Sands reconstructed my right foot
and since then I had no issues.
I was able to walk for miles, wear shoes with hills and even run .
The operation was very complicated.
I owe him my life.

Dr Sands is a horror show that never ends. He operated on my foot about ten years ago four times and was unsuccessful each time. Don’t go near him and you’ll be doing yourself a big favor.

Dr. Sands disregarded the issue that brought me to him and recommended a complicated surgery. I had to go to a different doctor who read Dr. Sands report and acknowledged that he had seen similar recommendations from Dr. Sands for other patients.

I wish I had posted the year I had him do reconstructive surgery to my foot. I'm still having problems 7 years later. And, his beside manner was only funny before the surgery. In fact, I remember going about a year later to show him the problems and do you know what he said?? "I can fix them"
NEVER excepting responsibility.

Went to Dr. Sands today for some annoying shin pain I've been having. He was very thorough, knowledgable and kind and I really enjoyed meeting him.

I had a serious shoulder problem. Dr. Sands gave me an injection to confirm his diagnosis, explained exactly what he was doing and why, and confirmed a non-surgical diagnosis, to my great relief, and answered my questions on prognosis. He prescribed physical therapy, which provided exactly the result he predicted, and later assisted in dealing with the typical insurance company resistance to approving multiple therapy visits. His follow-up was solid. Overall, a very positive medical experience.
