Doctor was very nice but, billing fees were outrageous. Over a $1000 for an office visit and a telemed follow up to give me MRI results, which were in addition to the office charges.

Dr. Sanford and staff are amazing. I arrived at Barrows Brain and Spine in excruciating pain in my lower back and leg. After 2 treatments I am pain free and able to live my life as normal. Dr. Sanford and staff are kind, listened to my concerns with interest and compassion.

I cannot say enough kind words about Dr. Sanford! From start to finish, he made me feel at ease during my appointment, answered my many questions, and thoroughly explained what was going on in my neck as well as a few options for treatment. I never felt coerced into one treatment regimen and appreciated his emphasis on creating a plan that would provide sustainable, long-lasting pain relief, not just a quick fix. If I could give more than five starts, I would! He is a phenomenal doctor!

I went to Dr. Sanford for neck pain. After the assessment, he recommended an MRI. The MRI showed I had inflammation in my facet joints. Dr. Sanford recommended a steroid injection in my facet joints. After the steroid injection, the pain was
completely gone. Dr. Sanford was caring, made me feel comfortable, and he listened to me and my concerns. His staff, was very friendly and caring as well. And I’m still pain free! Thank you Dr. Sanford and staff!

In my experience and I'm sure many others, Dr. Sanford is dedicated to helping patients be as pain free as possible. He worked with me and my painful, arthritic neck, experimenting with epidurals. I say experimenting because that's all he could do was try. One good but needed two to "pass GO" for next steps. No luck.
But he did not give up. The third procedure he did HIT GOLD!!! I am so grateful!! Forever grateful!!! So happy :)

I've been seeing Dr. Sanford for a couple of years now, as needed, for both neck and lower spinal issues. He is kind, caring, attentive, and listens incredibly well. He and his team also work hard to help me with scheduling as I travel frequently for work. While I have on-going issues, Dr. Sanford continually works with me to find the best possible ways to alleviate my pain. He is not only a great doctor but a truly nice man. I can't recommend him highly enough!

When I first arrived at Barrow I was greeted by a wonderful receptionist. I believe her name was Donna and after I was called to the waiting room and was seen by Dr. Sanford's lovely assistant Carmen. She seemed very comfortable and relaxed which made me feel the same way. Dr. Sanford was able to diagnose my ailment in my right arm and treat it with his vast knowledge of physical treatment. He really got me back on the disc golf course and throwing my disc better than I ever did!!

I had been going to a pain clinic for a year when I was recommended to Barrow Spine. Dr Sanford read the MRI results and immediately found what was giving me so much pain. He repaired 2 fractures and I am finally getting relief. Dr Sanford is a kind, considerate doctor.
