Dr. Sanders is an amazing hand surgeon. He also has wonderful bedside manners. I won’t go to another doctor for hand issues. I love Dr. Sanders!

Dr. Sanders did surgery on my hand after I had a table saw accident. Dr. Sanders amputated part of my index finger because the table saw destroyed my middle knuckle. He repaired tendons in my middle finger and checked and put stitches in my thumb and ring finger. I am extremely pleased with the results. Dr. Sanders has been very kind from the start and explained the procedures and options thoroughly.

I tangled up with a table saw and ended up losing most of my rt index finger and damaged 3 others. Doc John was great and fixed me up and 5 weeks later I started fishing again. I only gave him 5 starts because I couldn’t give him more. Thanks Doc for a great job and being so nice, Wayne

This man is a very talented genius! I had a "10" wrist break. Can't get any worse. Explained EVERYTHING to me and was quite patient. Worked with the physical therapist and my wrist is normal again. Sooo glad the ER doctor recommended The Hand Center. I've had terrible experiences with a large, local orthopaedic group with 2 other bone breaks. He's restored my faith in orthopaedic surgeons. I really didn't think any of them cared you were a human being with a major injury. "Take a number" was all I ever received from them. Ask for Dr. Sanders! He deserves 10 stars!

I had a splinter deep in my index finger. An urgent care doctor had cut it open looking for the splinter but he couldn't find it. Dr. Sanders wanted me to spend time soaking it in hot salt water twice before we consider surgery. 9 days later, the splinter shot out on a sea of red pus like surfboard. 5/8th inches by 1/8th inch. Effective and money saving. His communication convinced me to be faithful with the strategy.

Dr. Sanders perfomed two surgeries on my hand and followed up with me over several months of recovery. He was very caring and professional, and always gave me as much time as I needed during my appointments. I could not have asked for a better doctor.
