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!

Dr. Sanders did a wonderful job when I injured my shoulder. After an MRI it was discovered I had a torn rotator cuff and it needed repair. He and his staff were very professional when it came to the surgery. During surgery it was found that I had also torn my bicep and it was repaired as well. Every follow up visit was very thorough when my recovery was discussed. I would highly recommend Dr. Sanders to anyone that ask for my opinion.

I injured my right shoulder during exercise and suffered with pain for about a year. I could hardly lift my right arm. Dr. Sanders was recommended to me as the top ortho surgeon for rotator cuff repairs. After an MRI finally showed a tear in my rotator cuff and biceps, Dr. Sanders determined that surgery was necessary. I had my surgery in June 2018. I had 6 weeks of physical therapy and I have to say that I have had no pain or problems with my shoulder since the surgery. Dr. Sanders ROCKS!

I left in the same pain I came with, expecting cortisone injection, doctor agreed that I needed it. He suggested surgery for an off-track bicep and I said I could not afford and would take injection for now. I've had only one injection over a year ago so it's not habitual. He left the room and sent in an RN who explained the doctor left for the day and I was not getting an injection.. offered a sample of NSAID.

Dr. Sanders is a great communicator - took time to listen to my symptoms, explained his findings/recommendations and answered all my questions about my condition.
He performed a cuff repair in October 2017 and that shoulder is 100% improved and
pain free. Now that I am having problems with my other shoulder, I wouldn’t consider
anyone other than Dr. Sanders to manage
my care or repair it if needed.

I’ve had two surgeries completed by Dr. Sanders’s including shoulder surgery and knee surgery. Both surgeries went great. In particular my knee surgery was significant because there was fear that the damage I had with my knee was so extensive that I might require knee replacement. Dr. Sanders was honest and upfront with me in explaining the risks I faced and options for repairing the damage or moving on to knee replacement. my Surgery was a huge success. In my opinion Dr. sanders is the best.

I had torn my rotator cuff over a year before I could take time off work to get it repaired. Dr Sanders was recommended to me by a Dr that I work for. I had my surgery on a Monday and the office called several times to check on my well being. So, now it has been about 3 months since surgery and after conservative healing and physical therapy, I have over 80% usage and no pain! I recommend Dr Sanders if you have any orthopedic needs. Wonderful staff too!!
