Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Sandhu has been my gastroenterologist for a number of years now. I can see,perhaps,why some might not appreciate his bedside manner. I have taken the time to research my medical issues and have very informative talks with Dr Sandhu regarding treatment and such. I think too many people expect a magic pill or some such thing to fix their problem. It’s your problem! Own it and work with your physician. He or she is there to help you get better,not to hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be fine. Dr Sandhu may not be the touchy-feely doctor you see on t.v. but he is first rate at what he does.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Sandhu?
By far the WORST attitude towards patients of any Doctor I have met, ever seen for myself at the age of 47, consulted with for family, or saw on TV or in the movies. He spoke down to me when asked very straightforward questions and answered them with a high level of arrogance. I have yet to come across a Dr with the lack of compassion and terrible communication skills that he has. He is test NOT patient oriented and a classic example of a Dr. diagnosing and treating a "case" vs a person.
