Patient Reviews
Oct 23, 2023
After 7 years of suffering and pain, my 22 year-old has found a doctor Dr. Sanders, who knew that you need to have dye in the MRI to see if there is a labrum tear. My son injured his hip in x-country and we went to lots of doctors, and did physical therapy and other treatments, finally was told it will just take time. After high school graduation, he had fours years of no running, plenty of time to heal, but still painful to be on leg for long period. We decided to get another opinion, which led to the same diagnosis as we were told many years ago. So then we went to Dr. Sanders for another opinion and at that point was informed he could not tell us anything until we had a new MRI with dye. No other doctors insisted on doing dye, Sanders was the first. Office fought with our insurance and was able to convince them this was necessary. Less than 6months later, my son has had both hips operated on, torn labrum and cartilage. My son is excited to run again and live pain-free. Thanks
