Very through Specialist
I was amazed the Doctor spent close to 2 hours with me on my first visit. What amazed me more the Doctor checked all the hospitals that I’ve been too for procedures to see if any lung X rays where done for pre surgery examinations and found some dating back to 2009 so he could see the rate of growth of my nodules. Pretty amazing I must say. If you need a piece of mind Dr. Sanders is the one to see

The best
Dr. Sanders is a doctor who listens. He has been taking care of my asthma and some other assorted lung problems for the almost 20 years now. I cannot recommend him highly enough. No fuss, no bother. He is just about the best doctor I have ever had.

Exceptional Pulmonologist
I've had two televisits with Dr. Abraham Sanders at Cornell-Weill. Those televisits were as effective as in-person. Dr. Sanders is compassionate, extremely experienced and well-qualified and takes the time to fully explore your condition and discuss possibilities and next steps, He is very open and responsive to patient questions. I give him five stars!

An Angel among us
There are no words to describe how grateful I am to have Dr Sanders on my team. He certainly changed my life he saw something in my CT and was very conservative in his thinking until he wasn’t any longer. He sent me to a surgeon for a lung biopsy and yes it was stage 2 lung cancer I had surgery and had chemo but because he chose not to wait I am cancer free and enjoying my family
