Overview

Cancer Focus: Hodgkin Lymphoma, Leukemia, MDS, Multiple Myeloma-Plasma Cell Tumor, Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Dr. Sandin received a BS degree from the University of Puerto Rico, an MD from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and completed an MS and a research post-doctoral fellowship in microbiology at Michigan State University. He subsequently completed a residency in pathology at George Washington University and a fellowship in clinical microbiology at Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio. He joined the faculty of USF Pathology and Cell Biology and Moffitt Cancer Center in 1991. Dr. Sandin serves as Medical Director of Microbiology/Virology and as a general Clinical Pathologist at Moffitt. He is currently a tenured Senior Member in Hematopathology and Laboratory Medicine and serves as Associate Director-USF Pathology Residency Training Program and as a committee member for multiple national and international pathology organizations. He has received the Teacher of the Year Award on 10 occasions from USF Pathology or USF Infectious Diseases/Internal Medicine. In his honor, the award is now named the “Dr. Ramon Sandin Award for Outstanding Teaching in Clinical Pathology.” He is author or co-author of 200 original papers and 5 book chapters, has delivered over 200 oral presentations and has taught a well-attended and well-received national-level Pathology Board Review Course in microbiology continuously since 2000. In 2012, he was senior co-editor of the only published full-length textbook on its topic to date, entitled Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections.

0 patients rated this provider

The Provider Rating is an average of all responses to specific care provider-related questions from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. These surveys assess the experience of our patients when visiting us for an Outpatient Clinic, Urgent Care or Virtual Health (Telemedicine) visit. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.

Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.

Comments ()

Comments are gathered from specific care provider-related questions from our Patient Satisfaction Survey . The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

We post both positive and negative comments from the surveys. We do not post comments that are libelous, slanderous, profane, irrelevant or otherwise inappropriate or may risk the privacy of our patients. A “[…]” in the comments below indicates de-identified patient information or comments that are unrelated to the patient’s experience with the visit to the provider, such as comments related to another provider, about the survey itself, or otherwise completely off-topic.

Not all providers will have a star rating or comments. In order to ensure accuracy of our ratings, we only display ratings for providers who have a minimum of 30 completed from the previous 12 months.

Provider Ratings and comments are gathered from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. If a provider does not have ratings or comments listed it can be for several reasons, including:

  • The provider has not yet received the minimum number of patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display. We require a minimum of 30 surveys before we post results to ensure that the rating is statistically reliable and a true reflection of patient satisfaction.
  • He or she may be a researcher or other type of provider that does not see patients.
  • The provider practices in a specialty or office that does not use the specified surveys currently used for these ratings.
