    I went to Dr Sands when I was a child. Now that I am in my 20s I am able to articulate my…read moredispleasure 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.

    Dr. Sands is a wonderful dentist. She was recommended to us when we moved here. She has a level…read moreof professionalism like no other. She speaks to the children so they understand what she is going to do and the reason why she is doing it. My children never give me a problem when I tell them they are going to Dr. Sands. Her office staff is just as great as she is. Everyone in that office works extra hard to make sure that the children have a pleasant experience. I recommend Dr. Sands to anyone looking for a Pediatric Dentist.

    One of the best dental offices I've been to! I recently had a crown issue (not due to faulty work…read more-- sometimes these things just happen), and the way the office handled it was outstanding. Special shoutout to Barbara for always being on top of everything and super flexible -- she's amazing! The dentists are great, and the Oceanside location truly cares about their patients. I'm definitely keeping them as my primary. Thank you especially to Deborah and the entire team!

    This review is specifically about the office staff and the owner NOT the dentists. They (the…read moredentists) are nothing less than amazing, however you have to go through the office staff with ultimate decisions, approvals, or denials made by the owner before you see the dentist. These people only treat you with respect and dignity if there aren't any financial issues and/or you don't owe them any money. God forbid a person should fall on hard times, or there's an insurance issue, then this establishment starts showing who they REALLY are, really fast. And what they are, are a pack of amoral, apathetic, inhumane, reprehensible, insensitive people who ultimately don't and won't care about your dental health problems regardless of how severe it is! Especially this location. They will tell you, you will not be seen regardless of how much pain you're in or the severity of an infection, and when you double check to confirm that was in fact what was actually said the secretary and office manager will gleefully say and I quote "yes!" This franchise especially the owner has made a disturbing 180 from what they stood for years ago, which was always putting the clients and their health first. They used to have top quality wonderful office staff who genuinely cared about each individual. Now that concept is so far removed from what this place has become and the kind of people/ office staff they have working in various locations now, it's nothing more than a distant memory. Bottom line, you're ultimately nothing more than a walking dollar sign and the more money you have the nicer they become and treat you with the utmost respect. Start owing them despite whatever the situation may be, the office staff especially the owner has absolutely nothing to say or do with you. You're LITERALLY not worth it.
