I have been seeing Dr. Sanders since November 2019 with my shoulder. He has told me several different problems, but always different each time I see him. 4 shots and still no relief. Not to helpful when it comes to fixing my shoulder. MRI and x-rays and thousands later. Torn rotator cup. I am searching for a new doctor with a lot more experience.

Fell and broke my kneecap and Dr. Sanders was highly recommended. He is an amazing surgeon and a perfectionist. Explained the options and discussed the surgery, which is what I opted for. I am very pleased with the outcome and Dr. Sanders.

After telling Dr. Sanders my weight he continued to belittle me by telling me that I needed to workout because that is "too much". It is one thing to remind patients to stay healthy by working out/losing weight but it is completely demeaning and inappropriate to tell them they weigh "too much". At this point he completely lost my attention and respect. I refuse to see a doctor that puts down my mental health like this again.

Dr Sanders was professional, yet personable. He explained his impression in a detailed, understandable fashion. He did not appear to be rushed at any point during the exam. The staff I encountered conducted themselves professionally and treated me courteously.

Didn’t wait too long to see Dr. Sanders. His initial consult was brief, but he came back in after giving me a shot in the shoulder and discussed things more thoroughly the second time around. Overall pleased.

Dr. Sanders has given me full range of motion and use of my right shoulder after a career of bull riding. My shoulder was just used up. He took a methodical approach and I have nothing but respect and high praise for his ability to diagnose, repair and strengthen the shoulder while I have been in his care.

He is awesome! Other dr said surgery probably would not work because I have osteoporosis. Dr sanderS first met me on a Thursday & squeezed me into surgery that very Saturday! I had already been in pain for a week... I am very grateful to him & blessed to have been sent to him by my general dr.
It’s been a year & I have my arm back, complete with 10 pins- but can function & live my life!
Thank you, Dr. Sanders!
