Dr Sanders and Team 3 has treated me for about 15-17 years and I have always received consistent, thorough, empathetic and genuine concern for all of my health issues. I'm very blessed to have my Providence Health insurance and my team of providers at St Vincent's. Thank you.

Dr. Sanders is the best doctor I've ever had; unfortunately, because she is also on the faculty, she's not as readily available as I would like. However, we do get things resolved effectively using MyChart and the phone. I would recommend her highly to anyone because of what a wonderful doctor she is, but would be less likely to do so because of the avaiiability issue. I'm not really interested in considering alternatives at this point, but even if I were, the options for another doctor of her caliber are extremely limited .
