Patient Reviews
Dec 20, 2019
Dr Sanborn is top notch. I’m two years post gastric bypass, and I feel like he truly saved my life. He’s invested in the success of his patients, and takes all the time needed to answer your questions. I had some post op complications (due to me not drinking and getting dehydrated). He met me in the ER in a Friday night at 9pm without complaint. He sat with me in the waiting room until an exam room was available. He had me examined, tested, and admitted within two hours at a busy trauma center that was on shutdown due to a major accident. I can’t say enough good things about this man. He’s truly a wonderful doctor.
