First appt went very well. No waiting. Dr Sanders is personable and thorough. He made me and my husband comfortable with our decision to move forward with ankle replacement surgery. Knowledgeable and exceptional experience with this surgery. Dr Sanders was recommended by my neurosurgeon and he did not disappoint me. Thank you !
Very knowledgeable , Professional , Respectful, Kind and more.
Fantastic doctor. Really cares about his patients and does a great job. He replaced my ankle 3 years ago and I never had an issue. Feels great. Now he did an ankle fusion on my other ankle and I still have 5 weeks of recovery left but I even have a little up and down movement. Most fusions you will have no movement at all but Dr Sanders has a special technique that he does. Just talking to patients in the hospital and at his office, they travel from all over the United States to come see him.
Excellent manner and works as your consultant to get you better.
I would not have trusted my surgery to any other doctor!
Dr. Sanders gave me 100% of his attention. He looked intently at the imaging, Hands on examination. Very nice man. Thank you.
Dr. Sanders is a phenomenal ankle trauma surgeon 😊 he is the absolute BEST in his field ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I have always highly recommend him to others! In 1989 he reconstructed my Pilon fractured (R) ankle with 2 plates, 16 screws & a bone graft; on 9/28/23 he removed all the decades old hdwr & arthritis and was fitted for my new ankle prosthesis; on 12/14/23 he performed the Arthrodesis Subtalar Fusion, bone graft & more arthritis removal; and then on 2/8/24 he performed my Complete Total Ankle Replacement 😃 Today (8/14/24) was my 6 months post-op appt from the ankle replacement surgery and I am truly grateful with all the wonderful progress I have made thus far, and my ankle is “pain free”! 🥰
Dr Sanders is THE ankle surgeon. He knows his stuff! His team is efficient and friendly.
Dr. Sanders is not only an excellent surgeon, he’s attentive, kind & compassionate. And his entire staff are also really wonderful: professional, caring and extremely good with their responsibilities. It’s not the easiest going through a TAR, but they make the journey a good one. I’m grateful I have Dr. Sanders and his staff!
VERY Caring and concerned about my problem.
