Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Sanders is the BEST
My wife and I moved from Itasca, Illinois to Brentwood, TN 8 years ago. When we moved I was concerned about finding a good medical care. Dr. Sanders is a rare find in the medical profession. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a wonderful patient side manner. She is a fantastic GP doctor that is an excellent diagnostician. When necessary, she has referred me to specialists and everyone has been very high quality. Her office staff passes information from phone calls and e-mails to the doctor and issues are handled promptly. I feel that my medical needs are totally being met.

Dr.Sanders is wonderful! She’s kind and caring and really does make her patients her priority. I’ve been with her since we moved to TN in 2013 and now my senior parents are going to begin seeing her as well. I trust her fully, and so appreciate that she listens!!!! I absolutely recommend her!

Please do not visit this doctor, for the sake of your health. I’ve never had such a horrible experience with a medical “professional” before, to the point that I am in the process of reporting her. Due to her severe neglect, my health took an unfortunate dive. It pains me to know how easily that could have been avoided if I had never visited her and instead payed more attention to the bad reviews she’s been left by multiple people.

Dr. Sanders is great. She inherited me when my beloved Dr. Killian became ill and passed away. I never thought I could have another Dr. that I trusted as much. I was wrong! Dr. Sanders has helped me follow the curious path of a tick allergy, two knee replacements and a lifetime of hypertension. She is kind and efficient and she is smart, well trained and capable. I have been most fortunate to have her as my physician. Her staff is great and the new offices at Westgate are wonderful.

It was my first day at a new job and came down with a crazy rash on my face. I called Dr. Sanders and asked if I could stop by. Since it was on my face she wanted me to come in that day. I told her that it was my first day and would not be able to get away. She amazingly went out of her way and worked me in early before I went in to work. Her diagnosis was spot on and thorough as she always has been. Her quick actions prevented me from scarring. Highly recommend Dr. Sanders - she rocks!

I saw her for an injury in Feb 2018. She gave me a shot of cortisone and told me it was ok to keep swimming daily. When the cortisone wore off, the pain was back. I saw a different doctor who took one look and immediately knew I had a serious problem. He sent me for an MRI to verify. Then recommended surgery. I should add that when I got my records from Sanders, there was a note that she attempted to over bill my insurance company. Perfect. I don’t trust her.

Dr. Sanders has been extremely helpful to me. I became extremely ill following my college exams (in another city) and had to be admitted to the hospital. When Dr. Sanders learned of my situation, she immediately contacted the hospital doctors and consulted with them about which tests should be ordered. From the time she became involved in the process, I started receiving better medical care. Her staff worked me in quickly as soon as I could come home. I would recommend Dr. Sanders to anyone.

Around 9 pm on the evening of Mother's Day, my twenty-two-year-old son's fever spiked, and he vomited his Advil. I was very concerned and contacted Dr. Sanders, and she immediately agreed to meet us at her office. She tested him for the flu virus and for strep, and she prescribed anti-nausea medication. Dr. Sanders was extremely compassionate and kind, and she went the extra mile to provide excellent care for my son. I would highly recommend Dr. Sanders to anyone. We are very grateful for her.

Dr. Sanders was extremely understanding and helpful. I had some labs drawn from another dr that I took to her to discuss as my other provider didn't explain the results. Dr Sanders took the time to explain everything to me. She was patient and not in a rush. I would highly recommend her.

Hurried, patronizing, distracted and always very behind. . If you want to be made to feel like you are crazy for bringing your problem to a doctor then go to Dr. Sanders.
