Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy program focuses on restoring mobility and reducing pain through customized exercise regimens. Certified therapists use techniques like ultrasound and electrical stimulation to treat post-surgical recovery, chronic conditions, and sports injuries. Patients receive individualized care plans targeting pain reduction, improved mobility, and fall prevention while managing chronic conditions like diabetes.
Diagnostic Imaging
We provide on-site X-ray services and coordinate MRI/CT scans for accurate orthopedic diagnosis. Our specialists interpret imaging results to identify sports injuries, joint pain causes, and structural damage. This technology enables precise treatment planning for conditions ranging from fractures to degenerative diseases.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses patients' blood components to accelerate tissue healing. This treatment addresses osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and post-surgical recovery by injecting concentrated growth factors directly into damaged areas. The office-based procedure typically takes 35 minutes with potential for multiple sessions.
Joint Replacement
Our surgeons perform hip and knee replacements using traditional and minimally invasive techniques. The program includes pre-operative assessments, surgical interventions, and comprehensive post-operative rehabilitation. Patients benefit from advanced implant technologies and personalized recovery plans for improved mobility.
Pain Management
We offer non-opioid pain management solutions combining physical therapy, interventional injections, and regenerative medicine. Treatment plans address musculoskeletal pain from injuries, arthritis, and post-surgical recovery. Our approach focuses on long-term pain reduction through targeted therapies and lifestyle modifications.

DR. Sanders has been the best Orthopedic doctor, I have seen since i started coming back in 2014. There was an occasion I saw someone else and it wasn't the same. I came back for my back and Hope to get positive answers once the MRI comes back. I have recommended him to people who have orthopedic issues. I would highly recommend Dr. Sanders for your visits.

Doctors are good but it's so hard to make appointments! Left messages but nobody returned the call! So frustrating!

The doctors are good but it is so frustrating trying to get an appointment. If you have lots of time to spend on hold, this is the place for you. You get put on hold as soon as you call. It takes awhile for the receptionist to return and then when you say you want an appointment you are put on hold again for a long time. Aggravating. My time is too valuable for this.

What I love most about Dr. Sanders is his authentic and genuine care for me. He is dedicated to making sure that you receive the care and solutions so you can feel better and get back to enjoying life. You can tell that he has a passion for his craft. He explains things in plain English. Once he's done, you're better, you understand and you know you have a highly competent physician and friend you can call on.

Avoid this place like the plague! They'll schedule you in your least preferred location. You'll go back and forth and finally schedule an appointment. They'll call you a few hours before your appointment and ask you to come in later. Then when you arrive they'll tell you they don't take your insurance. Why don't they get that straight before you ever schedule an appointment?

I went to see Dr. Perim about terrible sciatic leg pain due to lumbar region disc herniation. Dr. Perim was able to schedule MRI the same day and perform the epidural injection the next day. He was very proactive and courteous in providing pain relief. Would recommend his services. In addition Dr. Smink was very helpful and effective in treating my youngest son, who broke his elbow in 2021. Thanks, Scott
