The brothers work side-by-side at the Long Island Jewish Forest Hills Hospital in New York, where Andre serves as a cardiologist and Sandre as an anesthesiologist.
While they are now saving lives in the medical field, the brothers did not always plan to be doctors.
They initially planned to become pilots, but their interests shifted toward medicine during their schooling.
Their mother, Claudia, had harboured a dream of becoming a physician, especially after Andre fell seriously ill as a baby and she feared he would die.
The twins admitted that colleagues and patients sometimes mistake them for each other due to their identical looks.
They shared that they often lean on each other for professional knowledge while working "in-hand" at the same hospital.
Speaking on her children's success, Claudia told NBC News:
"I am just proud and just glad to see my kids succeed."
