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.

Specialist and it shows
Dr. Sanders was thorough in his explanation of the surgery, expected outcomes, and the likelihood of the plate needing to be removed. I felt well informed. The anesthesiologist was also very thorough. They took into account how certain medicines impact me.

Complete hip replacement
I had hip pain for 10 years. Finally decided to see a surgeon. Doctor Sanders and his team replaced my hip it went remarkably well. So well in fact that I came back three months later to have my second hip replaced. It’s wonderful to be able to walk pain-free again

Praise of Dr. Sanders
Dr. Sanders impressed me with his wide breadth of knowledge, and his infinite patience and understanding. He is top notch in every category, and I am anxious to see him again should I have a reoccurrence. He gave me wise counsel and a well written sheet of instructions of exercises which seem to be working.

Dr Sanders and his staff were amazing to work with throughout the process. What I liked most is that during parts of my treatment Dr Sanders consulted a number of his colleagues at TCO to ensure I was getting the best treatment possible. Additionally, his team worked with my insurance to pre-qualify all procedures and took all the time I needed when answering my questions. I would recommend Dr. Sanders and TCO based on the excellent experiences I had in their care.

When you have a hip problem that causes pain and significantly reduces your ability to function you need relief. That is exactly what Dr. Sanders and the TCO Team provided. Yesterday was my second visit and the results of both visits have been very positive.

Dr. Sanders office was very efficient. I broke my ankle on October 16th out of the state on a business trip. Came home on the 18th, Friday, and had the visit with the doctor on the following Monday and surgery scheduled on Tuesday. When the temporary cast came off, my lower leg was all swollen with huge blisters. Dr. Sanders and team had me all fixed up that afternoon. I got off the cast 6 weeks later, and started rehab in December. I am all good now. I can walk 10000 steps each day without a problem. I am not limping at all. I think Doctor Sanders did a really nice job and his team of staff are also very professional. Thanks!

I would highly recommend Dr Sanders for choosing a surgeon. I just had a full knee replacement by Dr Sanders. He is meticulous, he is great surgeon, and has a great "bed side manner"!

I had a total knee replacement on Jan 3rd, 2017 and could not be happier. At 60 years old my left knee was sore all the time and my quality of life was deteriorating quickly. I love to golf, hike, bike and walk but it became almost unbearable to walk more than 1/4 mile. after 6 weeks I can do almost anything. Still working on range of motion but that is getting better each day. Dr. Sanders says I am progressing nicely and has been very helpful in explaining the procedure & recovery. A+

Dr. Sanders is a compassionate, careful surgeon. He did everything i could have asked for in the surgery to replace my arthritic left knee with TKR. I highly recommend him and won't hesitate to do it again on my right knee if necessary.

My experiences with Dr. Sanders began with an appointment for hip pain in 2013. I found him to be very professional, personable, friendly, and ready to listen to my description of my symptoms. The arthritis in my hip required hip replacement surgery two years later, During that time, Dr. Sander's continued to treat me, and his professionalism reassured me I was in good hands. Now, two months post-surgery and completely healed, I know I was right! I cannot recommend him highly enough!
