I have been going to see Dr Sanders for several years for pain management on my knees, he did surgery on one knee for extreme pain from torn cartilage. I could have needed surgery on my other knee but we went with shots to manage the pain. Dr Sanders does a good job and will not push for surgery unless he thinks it would help and suggests pain management over surgery if all possible. I enjoy our talks when I visit for my shots.

Dr. Sanders was wonderful! Suffered a minor knee injury while visiting in the Phoenix area. Was able to book an appointment with him for early the next day. Dr. Sanders quickly assessed and treated my knee. The support staff was wonderful too. Couldn’t have been a better experience! Would definitely recommend him and OthroArizona!

Dr. Sanders and his office staff are always kind and professional. They take time to ask you how you are doing every time that you go to the office. Dr. Sanders and his MA are the very best and so very kind! They explained everything to me before, during and after my surgery. No matter how I felt when I went into that office, I always felt better when I left. I recommend Dr. Sanders, his MA and staff to anyone that is looking for a professional and knowledgeable doctor.

I have seen Dr. Sanders for years. He has helped me with my knees and now it’s time for surgery. I waited until I got back from Illinois just to have him. He is a great doctor and he listens to what you need.

Dr Sanders is awesome! He is always on time, unlike waiting on most other doctors. Dr Sanders explains everything in detail. He has a very comforting manner about him, which makes unpleasant treatments seem a little less painful, if that makes sense. I will continue to refer him to others.
