I am a board-eligible, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine, arthroscopic surgery and shoulder replacement/arthroplasty. I perform minimally invasive surgery on the shoulder, elbow, knee and ankle, providing patients quicker recovery and less time away from athletics, school and work. My expertise encompasses a wide range of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including ligament tears, joint instability, cartilage injuries, osteoarthritis, tendon injuries and fractures. I am deeply invested in understanding the unique demands that athletes face and have dedicated myself to providing the highest level of care to my patients who strive to excel in their respective sports.

My ultimate goal as your orthopaedic surgeon is to help you recover from your injury or condition and not only regain your quality of life, but reach that next level. From both a personal and professional level I genuinely understand the frustration and challenges that come with musculoskeletal injuries. Although I have extensive surgical training, I employ a comprehensive approach to patient care, utilizing both non-surgical and surgical methods to achieve the best possible outcomes. I believe in the importance of open communication, active collaboration and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs and goals. Whether your journey is to obtain a scholarship, achieve All-Greater Rochester (AGR) selection, shine on your pro-day, or throw the ball in the yard with your kids, my job is to get you back in the game. Together, we can create a plan that not only addresses your immediate concerns but also sets you up for long-term success and well-being.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with family, playing hockey, golfing, hiking, going on surfing trips, as well as GoPro videography. During the winter season, you can often find me skating on the backyard pond, while in the summer, I enjoy paddle boarding in the Finger Lakes.

Beyond my technical expertise, I am dedicated to staying at the forefront of my field. I remain actively involved in research, publishing articles in peer-reviewed medical journals, participating in international podcast research discussions and presenting at nationally recognized conferences. By staying abreast of the latest advancements, I can offer my patients cutting-edge treatments backed by evidence-based care. In my current position as assistant professor of orthopaedics at University of Rochester School of Medicine, I take an active teaching role with physician assistant/associate students, medical students, residents and fellows. I have collaborated on research examining distal biceps repair, ACL reconstruction with quadriceps autograft, ACL preservation and repair, medial collateral ligament repair, tendon avulsion injuries, infection management in orthopaedic surgery, perioperative optimization and fracture repair and fixation. Utilizing patient-reported outcome assessments and minimal clinical difference calculations, my goal is to bridge the gap from clinical research to improve patient outcomes.

Doctor ACTUALLY listened to my concerns regarding cortisone, shoulder pain, and other various items I brought up. Doctor even documented these items as stated by me. No other doctor or recent physical therapy on my hand has done this.

Dr. Sanderson showed concern for my issue. He checked my strength so he would know how my rotator cuff was doing and so I would be confident in its strength. He found an osteophyte in the repaired area and explained how the clavicle and acromium meet and how the osteophyte appeared there. He looks at you while he listens so you know he's paying attention. He helped me understand that I could use exercise to serve my shoulder and that I wasn't required to all the exercises everyday, but could choose the exercises that would most help my shoulder each day. He is caring and pleasant. After my appointment, my husband commented that Dr. Sanderson has to know an awful lot about shoulders, and he does.
