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.

Lower back and hips pain
My wife and I were very impressed with Dr. Sanders and her staff. Dr. Sanders diagnosed what was causing my pain and gave me hope she could alleviate my pain when no one else had given me hope. She was very nice and easy to talk too. She described the process cleary. I would recommend her to anyone with arthritic back pain.

Excellent pain control professional and pleasant
I have seen Dr Sanders several times. She has greatly reduced my pain and I have multiple hereditary conditions. She knew when something more serious was wrong with me and referred me to a Neurologist for that problem. I highly recommend her and I will continue to see Dr Sanders because she is skilled at her profession and cares about relieving my pain so my quality of life is better.

Didn’t releave pain.
Procedure was difficult in positioning. No help from hospital staff. Then injections didn’t work. I had been getting them somewhere else but doctor quit. His procedure was simple but worked.

Unprofessional and heartless
Was ignored regarding previously history with pain clinic and that I had symptoms in multiple areas. Was told I didn’t have pain related to my radiology studies (although a neurosurgeon had referred me to her AND to a specialist surgeon) and that I needed a psychiatrist for mind over matter and that “no neurosurgeon could help me”. Insisted on procedures and refused ALL meds. — I have since had surgery on neck and back and am off ALL pain medication. If I had listened to her I’d still be suffering!

Very pleasant and did find the problem but was disappointed that it took so long especially after telling me twice she was baffled by my pain. I felt she should have asked the surgeon as he explained my problem was quite common and the fix was a simple surgery. Les in Andover, KS November, 2019
