Dr. Sands Patient Customer Service Improvements

In order to provide great customer service for all patients, Dr. Sands’ front desk administrator, Justin Horn, takes measures to address all patient suggestions when they come into their office. He answers any questions they may have and strives to make their entire process run seamlessly. When a patient first comes in, Mr. Horn will assess their needs and make sure they are met by the doctor and the rest of the staff.

Their office also makes sure to follow up with patients after a procedure. If a patient has work done that day, their protocol is to follow up with them that same night. The next morning they will also get a call or email, whichever the patient prefers. They speak with every patient and find out whether or not they want them to call or email after a procedure. Then, depending on their feedback the day after treatment, they will determine when the patient needs to come back into the office. However, if a patient is experiencing any discomfort, they will have them come in as soon as possible.

When asked what he has personally done since complaints were made on Ripoff Report to provide a better level of customer service to patients, Mr. Horn stated, “We have just gone above and beyond to make sure any of the concerns brought up are addressed with every patient. We always thought we did an excellent job, but we can always improve. Any complaints that are brought to us are addressed immediately. First, I will be made aware of it and then Dr. Sands. I usually set up a direct line of communication and call them to see what we have to do to remedy the situation and rectify it immediately.”

Dr. Sands’ office aims to make each person’s treatment individualized so that no two smiles are the same. When a patient comes in for their first appointment, they take photos and x-rays. Then, they show the patient before and after photos to see what their goals are. They come up with a formal treatment plan and see what financially makes sense for the patient and try to work within their budget.



To ensure that a patient understands services during the course of their treatment, Dr. Sands makes sure to go over every detail at the initial meeting, and then again right before the treatment. They display working models that show the entire process like how a tooth is reshaped, how a tooth is bonded, a vainer etc. In addition, they also have a two page consent form that they give each patient that goes over every detail.

After every surgery or procedure, they will take x-rays to make sure everything was installed perfectly and will also do a follow up visit where they will do bite adjustments. They make sure everything fits and is comfortable. Patients are encouraged to come back as many times as they need to, but they usually only need to come back once. Their office also offers a warranty that states that if anything breaks of chips within the first five years, they can get it replaced at a reduced rate.

When asked how he would handle a situation where a patient is looking for a procedure done, but in his professional opinion it is not truly an area of concern Dr. Sands stated, “I constantly turn people away, the best surgery is doing no surgery. If someone does not need a procedure, I won’t do it. I am so busy that I don’t take on every case and that is how I have built my name and reputation. I only want someone leaving my office if we both know that they have achieved the best smile possible. I tell people very honestly if a certain surgery is not right for them and I encourage them to get second opinions.”


Dr. Kevin Sands Patient Complaints

During the onsite interview, Dr. Sands was asked about the complaints made on Ripoff Report that describe patients that have not felt as though they were treated with impartiality when receiving consultation at his office, and what he’s done since to resolve these issues:

"Well, I am addressing it now. Most people who are not happy let me know, they do not write a report online. The fastest way to fix any problem here to is let me or my staff know about it and the problem will be remedied. We have surveys after everyone leaves so they can let us know how we are doing. As soon as I saw the complaint, I called Ripoff Report and offered some mediation because I like to make everyone happy. You usually know if someone is unhappy. People have to sign a waiver when they leave after surgery stating that they love their veneers, so that if they don’t love them, we can adjust or fix them until they do love them. It does not make sense for someone to write a bad review and not tell me. We could have resolved the issue, and they would have left happy.”

Since complaints were made on Ripoff Report, Dr. Sands maintains that he does not do anything different with how he interacts with patients, stating, “My motto has always been that the customer is always right. That’s why people come to me because I am the best, and they know I am the best. All of the celebrities don’t come to me because I’m known for bad work, they come to me because I’m known for being the best at what I do. I’ve always thought of treating my patients like royalty.”

Dr. Kevin B Sands is pleased to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. He is thrilled that there is a place that someone can write a review and the business can respond in a logical and systematic way. He thinks it is a very fair process. Dr. Sands thinks Ripoff Report is a good system unlike others that have no recourse.

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

------------------------------------------------

Dr. Kevin B Sands D.D.S Beverly Hills, Los Angeles California

NOTICE: About the Report below.
Ripoff Report (((REDACTED))) the offending words and false accusations/statements because we found what was posted to be completely false and ridiculous.. If the posting was true, there would have been legitimate proof or some sort of documentation. The claims were absolutely ridiculous. Ripoff Report was not sent any evidence for the claims the author of the Report below made – this could be a competitor. As a matter of policy, when a business joins the Corporate Advocacy, Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, .. Ripoff Report always emails everyone that filed a complaint so the member business could make things right with them…  our program calls for the member business to err on the side of the customer. It is our opinion, the Report below is bogus. Ripoff Report and a 3rd party verifier inspected the offices on different days. Dr. Kevin B Sandsis an extremely qualified and legitimate Dentist with the credentials and experience supporting this fact. If the doctor was that bad, Ripoff Report would have negative Reports about Dr. Kevin B Sands D.D.S from real patients.

Dr. Kevin Sands in Beverly Hills takes the (((REDACTED))) dentist in the U.S. He somehow managed to (((REDACTED))). But don't let this fool you or make you think he's a top notch dentist. I unfortantly was fooled by this illusion of him being some amazing dentist because I saw him on T.V. Lesson learned and now let me pass this knowledge onto you, so you don't make the same mistakes I did.

I came into his office for a veneer connsultation, supposibily this was supposed to be free. The front desk seemed to be a little stuck up when I came in for my appointment, not thinking much of it tho I just continued to wait for the doctor. Well I kept waiting for about 90 minutes, finally I was called back to see the great Sands. He comes in the room and says "what are you here for", I respond back saying "doesn't it say what I'm here for on the paperwork I spent 15 minutes filing out".

Now typically I would just answer the mans question but... I waited for 90 minutes and him saying that retarded line really set me over the edge. He replies and says something like "I don't appreciate the attitude, you come in here and speak to me like this." "That my hand writing is supper messy and he cannot read it". Well this is a shock to me because I've never heard anyone ever complain for, how hard can it possibly be to read veneer consultation.

So after this mimi stand off he tells me your a full case and that this is more then likely out of my budget, so he reccomeneds I call some guy over in east L.A. Now this is super shocking, how does he know I cannot afford the procedure? Does he know that I've been saving 17 years for veneers and that my family offered to help me pay for the procedure also? Guess Kevin Sands is a psychic and can somehow know your bank balance just by looking at you. Well I'm sure he has mastered this skill because this is his business, detect people who have money and then rip them off! At this point I was completly fed up with him and decided right then and there this guy is a total jackass.

So on the way out the door I see a lady in the waiting room who seems pretty upset. Her eyes where red and she kept sniffling non stop. I asked her what was wrong and she told me that Dr. Sands did some cosmetic dental work and that the work is horrible. She came in today to ask him to fix it but the front desk told her she needs to pay a consultation fee of $500 and that it will cost more money if anything can be done. Being in such shock I told her my situation and how he acted. She responded back telling me she had a similar experience but made the mistake of still going with him. At this point I told her step out in the hallway with me, the front desk girl started huffing and puffing like she was annoyed. In the hallway she opened up saying how Sands tried flirting with her and asked her out multiple times. This was just the craziest situation I've ever had when it comes to medical related things. I'm so thankful that I decided not to accept treatment and run for the hills.

People do yourself a favor and never visit this guy.. This guy is by far the shadiest dentist in all of Beverly Hills, I'd rather go to Mexico then have him touch my mouth. If you like being talked down to and have 90 minutes to waste, then Dr. Sands is your man! In addition I went online and read a bunch of his reviews, man these are the fakiest reviews I've ever read in my life. Some of them are in Broken English and days apart from each other. I'd highly suggest you do a search and look at them for yourself, what a joke!
