I had surgery on 19th everything went smooth stitches were taken out this week painless. Two weeks later I've gone from a walker to cane. I have felt listened and my questions answered.

I would highly recommend Dr Sanders for choosing a surgeon. He is meticulous, a great surgeon, and has a great "bedside manner" I had a full knee replacement and it was a complete success! My next one will be with Dr Sanders, he is great!

Dr. Sanders changed my life, and I couldn't ask for better care than he provided. Dr. Sanders is a wonderfully skilled surgeon, and most importantly, a compassionate individual who worked hard to help me overcome my fears. I never thought I would say this, but if needed, I will have the surgery again on my other arthritic knee.

Had my right knee replaced by Dr. Sanders. It went great. He is friendly and answered all my questions without hesitation. Explained everything to me completely and showed me a model of my new knee. Will be getting my left knee done by him in 6 weeks. Had my surgery done at the Renville county hospital in Olivia MN. Very nice hospital. Staff was great and very helpful.
