Very thorough, very compassionate. Dr Sanford is in a field that almost requires individual treatment plans. Our whole family uses him for all our orthopedic pain management. I have known Dr Sanford for about 7 years now and feel very confident that he'll solve my pain problems or it can't be solved.

Dr Sanford has been working with me over the past 8 weeks to pin point the area that causing me the most painful spot in my lower back. We just did the second epidural on L4 and L5. Hoping that we found the spot and cause of my back pain. Great Doctor and good staff taking care of me.

Dr Sanford is caring and funny and by far one of the best PM&R doctors in all of Phoenix. If your having radiculopathy and looking for back pain relief this is the only person you should go in the valley.

Enjoyed his demeanor. Explained everything well. I felt encouraged being at Barrow Institute with the provider. I know he would t be there if not for his skills and reputation.
