What Dr. Sanders patients say about their care experience

Real stories and honest review from those treated

I have been a TOA patient for many years, seeing many of their physicians. My most recent visit, I received a complete right shoulder reverse replacement 12 days ago. Dr. Eric Sanders and his team performed their magic and at my post op visit today, I can take my sling off, drive and start physical therapy. Who knew this surgery would go so well?!! Thank you. The process from start to finish was stress free and I will highly recommend Dr. Sanders.

Excellent visit with terrific explanation of my shoulder condition and treatment options. Saw me at my scheduled appointment time. Very efficient and answered all my questions without trying to rush the discussion.

David L.

I absolutely love Dr. Eric Sanders and can’t say enough good things about him! From the moment I walked in, he made me feel like more than just a patient—he treated me like family or a close friend, which immediately earned my trust. He took the time to really listen to me, understand the history of my injury, and explain exactly what was going on with my pain and why it was happening. I never felt rushed or dismissed. Dr. Sanders also walked me through several thoughtful options for treatment, making sure I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. Truly one of the best doctors I’ve ever seen! Highly recommend.

Shelby S.

Excellent surgeon. He knows what he is doing and he has excellent bedside manners. Thanks Dr. Eric Sanders for a job well done.

Alan S.

Dr. Eric Sanders is my hero. My surgery for Rotatorcuff, a massive one is well taken care of by him. His instructions/exercises that I need to follow up were demonstrated to me very clearly. I really like the positive, encouraging & friendly approach of Dr Eric Sanders. His staff is courteous and have a high level of professionalism.

I saw Dr. Sanders for my shoulder and so thankful I did! He thoroughly explained my condition in terms you could actually understand and laid out an action plan to ensure I was set up for a quick recovery. He took time to answer allllll my questions and allowed me to talk through what was going on! Highly highly recommend Dr. Sanders for your shoulders and elbows!!!

Alexandra H.

Dr. Sanders was great. I’ve been struggling with shoulder pain for a long time. Tried resting it, a chiropractor, ice heat, and nothing was making it better. Finally decided to see a shoulder doctor and when I left the appointment, I already felt relief from the injection he gave and I feel like with my treatment plan, I am finally on my way to recovery. I’m grateful for him and the staff for the great experience. If you’re in pain, don’t wait to go see him. You will be happy you did.

Travis W.

From the check in to the Dr visit to the check out everyone is kind, welcoming, professional and caring! Would recommend them HIGHLY!
