Don't go to Dr. David Sandak. My initial appointment with him, I'll be honest, went well. I actually felt comfortable that he knew what he was doing and felt that he had my best interest in mind and compared to the nightmare it took to get my oral surgery scheduled in the first place, It was a breath of fresh air that my experience was the opposite of what I expected. However every experience with Dr. Sandak after that was a nightmare. He scheduled me for a follow up appointment after my surgery but since I was still feeling a lot of pain, I called in and was given a more immediate appointment. When I went in, my stitches were removed and I felt a lot better except for the pain. When I asked about continuing my pain medication, his questioning of me almost came off as an interrogation as if I was trying to get more opioids even though I said numerous times that I had an old Motrin prescription that I found that was fine..it was demeaning and uncomfortable the way he questioned me. I left there feeling perplexed wondering if that was how he treated all of his patients. He informed me that I should keep the appointment I already had since I was due for the other side of my mouth to be done. I was instructed to take a Valium prior to the appointment. I went to the front desk after to confirm that I would be back for the already scheduled appt. For my next appt. I took the Valium an hour before as instructed and had my husband drive me. I got called in and put in the chair. I waited for a period only to have the front desk rep come to me saying there was a mistake, I was only scheduled for a follow up not a procedure. When I explained what happened at my last visit, the rep apologized saying the doctor made a mistake. They rescheduled me to come in again. I was quite upset having taken a Valium for no reason and then the doctor never came in to address us at all after all the confusion. He basically didn't think anything of it. Didn't admit any fault and never came in to even acknowledge the inconvenience. Having to miss work or have my husband come from his job in the city to drive me was such a major interruption in our day. I was quite disappointed. I rescheduled the appt. The day of my appt. I called to confirm. I asked my husband to drive me once again so of course he came from the city to do so. This time we had our 19 month old as well because my mother could not stay with her which resulted in slight delay. We began heading to the appt. a little late. I took my last Valium as instructed. As we headed over, I got a call from the office informing us that we were late. In my state I did my best to apologize and inform them we were a few minutes away. She stated that the Doctor said we needed to reschedule. My husband asked to speak with the doctor to give us a little flexibility considering what occurred before. I also had already taken the Valium. However the doctor came on the phone quite aggressively. He was rude to my husband, not allowing him to speak. He then told him that I can go to another doctor and hung up the phone. We were in disbelief. I could understand his position...perhaps there was no flexibility on his end but the way he addressed us was so rude and arrogant and completely unprofessional. Needless to say, We will be taking his advice and not returning to him. No one deserves to be treated this way. Both my husband and I are working professionals and when the mixup occurred the previous appt. while disappointed, we were willing to reschedule and try again. So I urge anyone considering him for his services, go somewhere else. Providers should not be rewarded for bad behavior and since there are no boards to report to regarding these types of matters, it's up to consumers like us to do something about it.
