I had a pretty severe ankle break and now have a plate and multiple screws in my ankle. The surgery went very smoothly and I recovered very well.

Dr Sanders was referred to me by a friend, who spoke highly of him. He is incredibly knowledgeable, great bedside manner and a good sense of humor to keep my anxiety to a minimal. I highly recommend Dr Tom Sanders. My surgery went smoothly and I’m thrilled with the results.

Dr. Sanders provided excellent care for me. The scar from my Achilles tendon repair surgery is very clean, and my recovery is going very well. Would recommend to friends and family.

Got two independent recommendations from other orthopedic surgeons outside the area I live that recommended me to him and they were spot on. Great surgeon and great overall guy. I felt like I was in great hands the entire time. Surgery went smoothly and the recovery is going smoothly too. Dr. Sanders made it clear that surgery wasn't the only option for me before the operation. I think he is also on the cutting edge of medicine because I was only in a cast for 1 week (switched to a boot) while other doctors using different techniques might have had me in a cast for 4-6 weeks.

Attention to detail in explaining the prognosis and treatment. Attention to patient and took time to listen, answer questions, and share personal history.
