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.

The Best!
I've been seeing Dr. Sanders "regularly" for over 25 years now! He was the on-call ortho surgeon when I was hit by a car in 1998 and he repaied my open tib-fib. Always pleasant, dry witted, and able to explain things even a rock head (I did get hit by a car crossing the street) like me can understand.

During these uncertain times, it’s been unknown as to what to expect from the healthcare industry, as there are delays no matter where you go. However, the experience, thoroughness and sincerity received by Dr. Sanders and his staff were remarkable! The efficiency and collaboration from staff to doctor was extraordinary. The honesty and treatment plan were notable, as could have pushed it to be extensive, but opted for a less invasive. Thank you Dr. Sanders, you’re a real one!

My visit was for my 18th year of my knee replacement. He always gives great advice on how to keep the replacement functioning. Throughout the 18 years I faithfully did the exercises and guidance he gave me to get the most out of the knee. I do not take medication for the knee. He is friendly and personable. He is very professional. I still recall every suggestion he made in my treatment was designed for the best outcome of my surgery and I still follow his suggestions.

I have trusted Dr. Steven Sanders since 2003, when I moved from AZ to Las Vegas witb a boken humerus in my left arm. Over the years he has healed it, a broken shoulder and repaired a rotator cuff on my right arm. Currently he is helping my right knee. I recomend him and his team.

Dr sanders was the worst doctor I ever seen I’m over 50 years old and coming from many doctors in my family and is the fist time that I have a strong conversation with a doctor . Dr sanders it seems to work for insurance intereses instead of patients health after reviewing my MRI and sow my injures in tendons he dared to remove restriction and said he did not care about . He persuaded me to get steroid versus therapies
