The knowledgeable, personable, beautiful Dr. Bella Sandler was very warm and approachable. It was my first time having a physical in years and she made me feel very comfortable. I felt listened to and understood. She really took the time asking me questions about my history and explaining things to me. We joked around a bit and spoke about my medical issues. She helped refer me to a few specialists and even gave me a sample of a medication to help with my sleep problems. I'll definitely go back to see her.
Also, her nurse - Susanna - was very considerate and gentle with me when she drew blood. The receptionist was sweet as well. Great job, guys.

The nurse practitioner took my blood and was very nice and took her time. The doctor was also not bad. The only downside is that you do have to wait a bit longer than what you scheduled for your appointment. But the doctor is very thorough with her work and does take the time to make sure the patient understands everything and gives you time to address any concerns you may have. Not bad for a first time with Dr. Sandler ??

The wait is always too long :(
I had a 3 pm appt., and was not seen until 430. I had to ask to be seen quicker b/c I had to leave to pick up my child.

Dr Sandler's office was clean, organized, and inviting. I was seen within 30 mins of my appointment and everyone I interacted with was polite and professional. Dr. Sandler listened to all of my concerns and was very helpful. She also helped me find a surgeon and a gynecologist in the neighborhood. I would definitely recommend her office.
April 18, 2019Jessica L.Verified patient
The waiting time is short. She was kind to introduce herself to me but then also has an attitude if i have a question. She was discussing my results and yelled at me when i asked a question because 'she wasnt done' and then when i asked for her help to find a therapist she cut me off and said 'so go find one idk any' and didnt help me with an issue i had with my lip. she said 'if you think its that then okay idk what it is'. not very helpful. her nurse practitioner also scratched my arm with the needle while taking my blood test and there was a scar for days

I chose this office because they were open late on Monday’s and I could come after work. I waited almost two hours before I even saw the medical assistant. I didn’t get her name but she was RUDE RUDE RUDE.
Doctor Sandler was very nice and apologized for the long wait time. She was very friendly and thorough with the visit. She addressed all my concerns and was knowledgeable. I would rate her with more stars; however the assistant was so terrible with the way she spoke and her attitude.
If you are willing to wait two hours and then get a horrible experience with the assistant before meeting the nice doctor then this is the place. BUT be prepared for the RUDE assistant.
February 25, 2019Faustine T.Verified patient
I was in excruciating pain with all the possible symptoms of flu. I wanted to be seen by my doctor and not by someone at a nearest urgent care. I contacted the office since there were no available hours on the website. I was scheduled the same day. Doc took a good care of me; she called me about my abnormal results the next day and prescribed the right medication. I’m so thankful. I feel so much better now.

Doctor wouldn’t clearly explain things. She was quick to move on to another patient. I was more shocked with the nurse who made some comments about my boyfriend and I being interracial. No reminders for next followup appointment.
