(Christian Griffith, 15, MX racer Fractured Collar Bone)

I was impressed by how much work he did with motocross riders - actually helping them get back to their sport rather than trying to talk them out of it. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and continue to recommend.
Dr. Sanders to fellow riders. In fact, I bought a book that talks about him, Medicine Men of Texas and just pull it out when I'm talking to someone about him. What's great about Dr. Sanders is he talks to you directly. He gave me his cell phone number in case we needed him!

We are very happy we made the trip to see him.



When Christian broke his collar bone after a bad fall off his bike, we were told a range of things - from just let it heal, surgery isn't necessary, to a lengthy procedure is required with months of recovery. So, I got on the Internet to do my own research and came across Dr. Sanders. I was impressed by how much work he did with motocross riders - actually helping them get back to their sport rather than trying to talk them out of it.



I sent him an x-ray that revealed a break I believed needed to be addressed. In my judgment, just letting it heal as it was didn’t seem right. I initially just wanted to send an x-ray online to his office. Next thing I knew he gets on the phone. And he just explained to me the two possible outcomes - one with surgery versus one without.

He told me a lot of things I didn’t like about the outcome without surgery - potentially compromising Christian’s stability and strength on the bike in the future. We were finally convinced to have it repaired surgically. He really put my mind at ease, describing a simple surgery he had performed many times that year on MX riders. I still got a second opinion from a doctor for the Miami Dolphins. He indicated surgery was needed "so that suit jackets would fit right." He described a much lengthier surgery. So we flew from Palm Beach on a Sunday night to see Dr. Sanders.

Everyone was very comforting and patient in explaining everything and assuring me as a parent.

Christian did great and went into the office the day following the procedure and did exercises on the stationary bike. And we left the following morning with a complete rehab program to follow. Four days later he was throwing the football with that arm. He is today just as comfortable on the bike as he was before the accident - and recently rode in his biggest race ever, stepping up to the "C" Class.



We couldn't be happier with the outcome and continue to recommend Dr. Sanders to fellow riders. In fact, I bought a book that talks about him, Medicine Men of Texas, and just pull it out when I’m talking to someone about him.

What's great about Dr. Sanders is he talks to you directly. He gave me his cell phone number in case we needed him! That's so important when you’re going through something like this, because you're cutting out the screw up in communication happening so much today in the medical industry. So much is lost in translation. Just to be able to call him directly was huge.

We are very happy we made the trip to see him.
