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 have been a patient for 15 years. I love his honesty. He doesn't sugar coat anything.

I will not tell you about one visit but I will tell you about over forty years knowing Dr. Sanders and having him off and on as my primary care physician. If you are looking for a doctor who is concerned about you and your welfare look no further. If you are looking for a doctor who will listen to you about your aches and pains. Look no further. If you are looking for a doctor that you can trust and will be honest with you. Look no further. I was looking for all these things forty years ago and I found doctor Donald Sanders. I no longer look any further.

Unprofessional! After 10 years being with the practice, I had to make a change. The service and care they provide is extremely poor. You call in the morning about a prescription and you are calling again near the end of the day as no call has been returned. After requesting calls from the nurse or doctor (and using the portal) trying to get a handle on my BP over the coarse of two months (4x), I was told I expected too much by Dr S. What? I never made a fuss, I was just trying to get help.
