Dr. Alan R Sandberg

My appointment was made for 10;15 am yet for some reason it was 6;30pm at the site . My insurance does not require a referral for ongoing appointments with a specialist . I was satisfied with the appointment because I was listened to and not talked at.

Very thorough. Took time to listen. Good follow-up. Would definitely recommend.

Have been a patient for close to 10 years. Can not say enough about how thorough and caring he is. Excellent communicator. His staff is outstanding. One of the best medical practicioners I have used in the last 60 years…I am 84!

Everything I read in the reviews. Was accurate was very clean add friendly staff the only negative to me in my visit was I never actually got to meet DR Sandberg I was seen by one of his PA,s who was very nice but I did my research to see the Dr. I wanted to see her never even introduced himself add then I saw some one else I came for a consultation on something I’m going threw and in get it there refer you to surgery but being some one who is obese and not in good health I wanted to purse non surgical options but I was given none. So I left more terrified than when in god there and if you can’t walk to far you will have a problem as parking and directions are absolutely horrible there is no guidance that was my first visit I was in an underground garage in wrong building. Just bring your walking shoes or get dropped off in front other than that clean office great support staff

The office is clean and the staff were very friendly. Didn't wait long in the waiting room. However it was a fifteen minute wait for the PA (never saw Dr.Sandberg). He was very nice and thorough. Waited another 15 mins for the tech to take our blood. Then we were done. Overall a okay appointment.

Great

Minimal wait time. Great and honest doctor. Would recommend.

This Dr. Is AMAZING. He is so competent and knowledgeable. He spends so much time with patient. Was reassuring and had great bedside manner. Highly recommend!

Dr. Sandberg was very thorough in my visit. Understanding and listened to what my issues were.

The office staff is wonderful and extremely helpful. Dr. Sandberg...how do you describe perfection!! He listens and understands everything you say. He explains everything in detail until he knows you understand. I have and will continue to refer him.

Dr Sandburg was very thorough and patient and took the time to explain in detail the results of my endoscopy. We also brainstormed possible treatment options for my IBS. I never felt rushed & he answered all my questions… he is a rare find these days and I am thrilled to find a doctor so caring.

Friendly and helpful staff. On time appointment and Dr Sandberg was great. He spent time explaining everything and made sure I understood the medical speak. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Dr. Sandberg and his office were terrific! From the pleasant check in- the detailed and caring consultation with the PA to the amount of time the Dr. took to address our questions- it was a very positive experience.

Dr. Sandberg is a smart, caring and patient doctor

VERY PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEE AND VERY FRIENDLY DOCTOR SANDBERG THE BEST

Dr. Sandberg was very attentive and thorough in the care he provider to me.

My late husband and I were patients of Dr Sandburg for over 30 yrs. He is an excellent doctor plus he showed concern and compassion to my husband during his last year.

Doctor Sandberg is so thorough, professional and made you feel comfortable, his staff also gets top ratings. My experience was great, he’s a wonderful Dr. would highly recommend!

The service the staff and doctor provide is excellent. Dr. Sandberg takes the time needed to explain the diagnosis in detail, allows you to ask questions and never makes you feel rushed. Definitely 5 stars!

Amazing doctor….calms my nerves when I am expecting intense anxiety over my health. Knowledgeable and compassionate!

I went there for routine colonoscopy. The team is not friendly. Although, it shows that is in-network. The tests were sent out of network. I called them twice to make sure everything is sent in-network to be covered by insurance. In general, this is the worst medical experience I had in the US.

Dr. A Sandberg is the best. I'm glad I found him. He stays calm when I'm not. Recently, feeling pain in a certain area and expecting bad news, he simply said. " you haven't finished your medications". ????

Dr Sandberg is a one of a kind physician!!! My visit with Dr Sandberg was not only informative, he made me feel comfortable and gave the time needed to diagnose my condition. If you are looking for a physician with a good beside manner who really listens to your symptoms this is the Dr for you. Dr Sandberg kindness and compassion is what made him stand out to me. I will be referring all my friends and family to him happily. Dr Sandberg is a one of a kind physician!!!

Had my colonoscope by Dr. Sandberg, received an accurate description of the operation everything went as scheduled and described.

I have been a patient of Dr Sandberg for years. He is an exceptionally caring and compassionate doctor who is extremely knowledgeable and caring about his patients. It’s not often that a person will look forward to seeing a doctor when they have a problem, but I can say Dr Sandberg is the exception to the rule.

Had a similar experience to another patient. Went in for an endoscopy and was told it was covered under Emblem Health. Now all of a sudden I get a bill for $5000!!!!! This has never happened to me before. Dr Sanberg is wonderful but he needs to be held responsible for this and his staff they don't help at all! Had a similar experience to another patient.

GREATEST DOCTOR EVER- RECOMMEND HIM HIGHLY

Dr. Sandberg is caring and thorough. He takes his time and makes sure you understand what he is saying. The front des is usually chaotic and unorganized, but he is worth the initial headache because he genuinely cares about his patients.

Highly recommended! Dr. Sandberg is by far the best GI doctor I've ever visited. Kind, attentive, personable and very knowledgeable in the field. He makes you feel like a family member instead of just a number in the waiting room. He goes above and beyond to spend time with you and explain everything.

Edit: I’m changing my review to 1 star as a result Of the following: Both the doctor and the secretary who took my health insurance card just before my endoscopy to confirm my insurance covered the procedure told me that it was in fact, covered. I then get a bill for $8400.00. Call my insurance to find out not only are considered not in network at all (Not even ‘out of network’) and there is absolutely no coverage whatsoever. How can one individual possibly be expected to cover such an inflated cost?! I never would have done the procedure with them if it wasn’t covered. That’s why I’ve paid into my instance company all these years; so I don’t have to worry about this sort of thing. They didn’t inform me properly and now I’m expected to swallow the costs due to their error. Its just madness. — The doctor himself was wonderful. Great bedside manner and very patient and knowledgable. However we only spend about 10-15 minutes with the doctor and the rest of our experience is with the staff. Made the appt through Zocdoc. Send the forms through Zocdoc. Get there and the secretary asks me to fill out forms. I tell her I've filled them out through Zocdoc and she tells me they are different. They are EXACTLY the same. Wait 50 minutes in the waiting room and then another 25 in the examining room. Medical assistant fills in all of my health history, again EXACTLY the same information I filled out on Zocdoc. So now I feel as though a large part of my time is wasted simply because they don't want to acknowledge the Zocdoc forms. And they lie about it. The front desk secretaries were indifferent and frustrated. I really wish they trained their staff to just do their job and be nice. This is a for profit industry and all these people are paid as a result of the patients and the patients paying their health insurances.

Great Doctor, highly recommend !!!!!

The care, concern and time spent with my 92 year old mom is something I haven't seen since the 1960's. Highly recommend !!

I highly recommend Dr. Sandberg! If there was a higher rating than 5 stars I would give that! I had a bad stomach pain a week ago and was trying to find a GI to no avail, everywhere I called was all booked up. Out of desperation and just my luck, I called Digestive Diseases Center at New Hyde Park and got Dr. Sandberg in morning. I could tell immediately that he is a very different kind of doc, the kind we have been always looking for, caring, attending to details, and personable. He sent me to take CT and promised to call me on the same day. After CT, he called and told that I needed to go to ER and he had already spoken with a trusted surgeon that I am going in. I was so grateful to what he did, which sped up things in ER so much so I had my surgery done immediately. The surgeon, Dr. Alex Lee at LIJ, is equally amazing. I am recovering very well at home now.

Dr. Sandberg appeared to me to be very knowledgeable about Gastro area and Indeed he has decades of experience. Great to speak to and he explained things to me very nicely unlike so many other doctors I have been to. Another thing was that he performed a thorough exam unlike other doctors. Hw is a gem of a.doctor.

He’s a really friendly and nice doctor. He makes sure you understand everything and answers every question you ask. He leaves no stone unturned and really knows his stuff!

Very nice doctor nice staff

Dr Alan is the best doctor I’ve ever seen!!!

Excellent doctor. Very patient and knowledgeable, listened to my concerns and performed upper GI endoscopy. Aware of latest scientific studies and treatments in the GI space. Highly recommend.

Dr Sandberg is a great doctor. He takes time answering questions and concerns, never rushes you, is very friendly and helpful, also very knowledgeable. The staff is also very nice and friendly. I would higly recommend him!

I have been going to Dr. Sandberg for over a month now when I starting dealing with stomach issues that turned into a more serious situation then I had anticipated. Dr. Sandberg truely cares about his patients well being and spends as much time as he can with you. He also refured me to a specialist and got me an appointment as soon as possible.

I was a new patient but felt like an old patient. Dr listened carefully, explained everything .Very pleasant experience with follow procedure and feeling much better

I had a terrible experience with the staff - I made an appointment for 3:00 pm which they confirmed through phone call and text, several times. The day of the appointment Friday, while I was 5 minutes away they called me to "reschedule" because I was running late; they even said that my appointment was for 2:45 pm which I clarify they were wrong and made clear that was only 10 min late. Also, explained them that had trouble with the train but was about to arrive. Spoke with 2 women that were so irrational and rude - Never in my whole life I had this unfortunate encounter with Drs. staff; delays can happen specially in NY but instead of trying to help they just wanted to close the office - I felt that it's impossible to deal with this kind of staff so decided to change doctors. The least you want to find when you need care and attention is selfish people getting ride of patients. A doctor's staff need to have excellent manners, be attentive and helpful with patients .. I don't want to imagine how they treat the elderly! I had a terrible experience with the staff - I made an appointment for 3:00 pm which they confirmed through phone call and text, several times.

Thank you so much for caring about me. Your not just my Doctor your my new friend.

Dr Sandberg and his staff are excellent, they go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. Dr Sandberg spends time and goes over everything with you!! He also doesn't keep his patients waiting forever in the waiting room. I would recommend him to anyone, you don't find great doctors like this anymore!

In my honest opinion, it is hard to come by doctors as caring as Dr. Sandberg these days. He spends quality time with you, answering all your questions and concerns. I feel like I'm in great hands when I visit him. Additional pluses include the staff being super nice and the wait times being short. I would absolutely recommend this physician for all your gastrointestinal needs! In my honest opinion, it is hard to come by doctors as caring as Dr. Sandberg these days.
