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.

Dr. Saunders is the most intelligent Dr. in orthopedic I know. He finds different avenues that would be more beneficial to the patient. So they will have the best outcome. He always has the patients best interest on his mind. He will discuss all options with the patient and let them decide on which direction would be best for them. He does not try to push any treatment on the patient he simply helps them make their decision. If they chose not to do anything he will honor that and help the patient achieve their goal.
