About Me

She lives in Eustis, FL and enjoys practicing and making a impact in her community. “I love caring for my patients. It’s something that I look forward to every day. They share their life with me; they return the love … there’s no better job out there,” she said. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her family, kayaking, boating and camping - generally anything outdoors. Sandra thanks you for choosing VIPcare as your Medical Home. She looks forward to meeting you and your family and appreciates the opportunity to make a positive impact on your health!
