Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I give him all the stars
I’ve been going to Dr. Saunders for a few years and I am a very loyal patient. He replaced my left shoulder 6 months ago and we are in the process of trying to get my right shoulder improved. He is very knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. I recommend him every chance I get.

Solving my shoulder problem.
Dr. Saunders was very thorough explaining his findings related to my shoulder situation. He presented his recommendations for improving my mobility and reducing the constant pain with replacement surgery. He explained the newest and best method available that would allow me to continue doing the activities I enjoy after surgery. I really appreciate his honesty and willingness to answer all my questions.

Wonderful doctor...and person
Doctor Saunders is very comforting with both his diagnosis and surgical abilities, and also his personable manner. He doesn't rush in and back out; he spends time with the patient and presents a personal relationship with us.

Happy Shoulder Replacement!
Several months ago, I fell on the black ice and completely destroyed my shoulder. I had a reverse shoulder replacement. I was scared and overwhelmed. Dr. Saunders and his team provided me a new shoulder with great support. They helped this scared old lady regain her life back. He listens to your concerns and helps you gain your life back. You need to follow the directions and do the work but it’s possible to regain range of motion and your ability to use your arm. It’s been a long journey but I’m grateful to Dr Saunders for his care and expertise.

Best Orthopedic surgeon in Wichita.
A follow up appointment for a shoulder replacement. Dr. Saunder’s assistant has saw me through this whole journey from my surgery to getting released to full duty. I forget her name but she’s the best and very helpful. I’m thankful for Dr. Saunders and his staff for all their help.

Another positive experience
Wife and myself have been seeing Dr Saunders for years - shoulder trouble. We both got cortisone shots - again. Dr Saunders replaced my left shoulder in 2019. The outcome has been remarkable. We wouldn't see anyone else. I have to add that his PA Lina, has been giving the shots under his direction. We give her 5 stars, also. A great team.
