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.

Excellent doctor. Attentive and easy to understand regarding care. Would recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic care.

Look no further he’s your man
He’s just the most patient doctor I’ve ever met. Answers all questions thoroughly and is a UCLA and Harvard man - thoroughly educated and brings 43 years of experience to his practice along with introducing new and less invasive surgery methods that help so much with quick recovery. The people who work there are happy and smiling always … that also speaks volumes to me!

Hip and leg pain
He gave me a thorough exam and took x-rays. I didn’t think I needed hip replacement but I wanted to be sure. He gave me a plausible diagnosis and a prescription and recommended physical therapy. After one dose of medication I already feel relief! Very personable and professional.

This Surgeon is in my book one of the best I've seen. It was well worth the 4 hour round trips made to have him do the work he did on me. I'd recommend him to anyone and everyone!

After meeting Dr. Don Sanders (Feb 2019), I was considering choosing him for impending hip replacement surgery. During our face to face appt prior to proceeding with surgery, we agreed ultra-sound guided cortisone hip injection was best course of action as I've not had significant pain relief from x-ray guided cortisone injections. Surprisingly, Dr. Sanders arranged x-ray guided injection & although I insisted it was not as we agreed, he would not honor word given during appt. Disappointing!

He's the tops. The very best in his field. Very professional yet personable at the same time. He is the epitome of his field. In the waiting room you hear patients speaking of the excellent outcomes of their treatment and/or surgery. He must be in the top 10 in his field. He created a new method of performing the surgery with better outcome and less down time.
