Meet Dr. Sandman

Smile Like a Rockstar!

Board-certified orthodontist

I Love Making You Smile

I am passionate about delivering healthy, beautiful smiles to adults and kids.

Dr. Russell Sandman

Growing up I vividly remember the positive and life-changing impact that orthodontic treatment had on me. Since then, it has been my vision to share the gift of a confident, healthy smile with every patient, regardless of age. Everyone should know the happiness and confidence that an orthodontic transformation can bring.

education & Beyond

A New Jersey native, I attended Binghamton University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology. Having completed four years of credits in under three years, I spent the final years of my college experience studying Shakespeare, architecture and theater while teaching chemistry and studying abroad. Then, I was awarded a Dean’s Merit Scholarship to attend the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, where I graduated with my Doctorate of Dental Medicine in the top of my class. While at Penn, I was elected president of the orthodontic society and served as a member of several social and academic clubs including the prestigious curriculum committee. After four years in Philadelphia, I continued on to Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery, where I earned my Master of Science in orthodontics.

My commitment to clinical excellence has led me to attend enumerable continuing education courses and to attain American Board of Orthodontists board-certification for almost two decades.  Recently, I completed my MBO certification from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.  I remain actively involved in the New Jersey Association of Orthodontists, the Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontists, and the American Association of Orthodontists.

outside the office

I currently live in the Upper West Side of Manhattan with my wife Tamar and our daughter Ella. I am passionate about family, fitness, and wine blending and tasting. I am also a lover of art, reading, writing, and all the wonderful cultural offerings of New York City and the surrounding area.

Bergen orthodontics review
Jennifer
We had an awesome experience with Dr. Sandman and his staff. Everyone is very warm and welcoming. He’s a perfectionist and my son’s smile proves it! Highly recommend this office
Maayan S.
I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Sandman. He recently worked together with my jaw surgeon for pre and post surgery Invisalign. He made a typically daunting process so easy by communicating and educating effectively throughout.
I started with him when I was around 10 years old as a heavy mouth breather with a receding jaw and super crooked teeth. He educated us on the issues that come with mouth breathing and all the different routes we could take to avoid future problems, but listened when we said we weren’t ready for any sort of surgical intervention. He then made my smile beautiful and functional, concealing my overbite. At 24, I got diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and immediately thought of Dr. Sandman knowing this was the issue down the line he warned us about. I felt so comfortable to come back to him when I was ready and wholeheartedly trusted him through the process to communicate well with my surgeon and keep me informed along the way. Reflecting now at almost one year post op having completed Invisalign treatment, I am forever grateful for Dr. Sandman who guided me through one of the toughest decisions and events of my life! Dr. Sandman is equipped to handle the most complicated cases and I sincerely recommend him to be your future provider.

Dr. Agarwal and her team walked me through each step of the treatment process and what to expect. Always willing to answer questions, and checked on me after I received my Invisalign to make sure everything was OK. Very helpful staff as well!
