Dr. Cary Sanders, MD

Board-Certified Foot and Ankle Surgeon in Roseburg, OR

Specialist In Hip & Knee Replacements

Patient First, Then A Surgeon

Dr. Cary Sanders, a board-certified orthopedics specialist in Roseburg, OR, has made it his life’s mission to help people move without pain, and he knows that journey firsthand.

Born the youngest of seven boys on a humble farm in Southern Illinois, Dr. Sanders’ journey into orthopedics began long before medical school. Born with clubfoot and enduring multiple surgeries as an infant, he spent his early years not only recovering but also discovering a passion for medicine through his own experiences as a patient.

That personal connection is what sets Dr. Sanders apart. “I never tire of seeing patients improve,” he says. “Nothing is more satisfying than playing a key role in someone’s recovery.”

Education & Surgical Training

After graduating from Winter Haven High School in Florida, Dr. Sanders served a two-year mission in Salvador, Brazil, where his love for people and service deepened. Returning stateside, he studied at the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he also met his wife, Katrina.

He graduated from the University of Missouri School of Medicine in 2006 and then completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Tulane University in New Orleans, one of the most respected programs in the nation.

Since then, he’s dedicated his orthopedic surgeon career to helping people walk, run, lift, move, and live without pain.

The Orthopedic Surgeon Who Built a Better Program

Dr. Sanders helped co-found New Strides, a total joint replacement surgery program created alongside other local surgeons and the hospital to ensure better, faster recovery and fewer complications. From pre-op education to post-op rehab, everything in this total joint replacement surgery is designed to give you the best possible outcome.

A Perfect Fit in Southern Oregon

In 2015, Dr. Sanders and his family of nine moved to beautiful Roseburg, Oregon, in search of the perfect place to combine world-class orthopedic care with small-town living. Here, he could focus more on total hip and knee replacement surgery, which he considers his true calling within orthopedics.

Now living on a timber farm in Melrose, Dr. Sanders is proud to call this community home. Whether he’s in the OR or out hiking the hills, he’s all in, committed to the health of his patients and the strength of the region.

When he’s not in orthopedic surgery in Roseburg, you might catch him:

  • Playing the piano (both classical and contemporary)
  • Hunting or fishing across the Northwest
  • Exploring trails with his kids
  • Working on his timber farm in Melrose

He believes in a full, rich life and helping his patients enjoy the same.

Dr. Bishop and his team got me in last minute after my referral got lost between my PCP and their office. The front desk was polite and helpful. Their paperwork was minimal. X rays were quick and waiting time in the room was minimal before Dr. Bishop came in. He explained everything clearly and have me a copy of all of his recommendations before asking me to schedule a follow-up visit.

Dr. Cary Sanders is a very knowledgeable and compassionate doctor. He explains things very well. I highly recommend him. The office staff is very friendly and helpful also. Ben Baird is also top notch and has given me numerous cortisone and lubricant injections on my knee. Both my wife and I have seen Dr. Bishop and he has our highest recommendation also.

Dr. Sanders has been seeing me regarding my knee for the past 4 years. After all the years of dealing with knee pain and injection shots, it has been agreed that it is time to get a knee replacement. Dr. Sanders and his staff are incredible.

Everyone was great. Hardly any wait time. The doctor was very knowledgeable and drew a picture of what’s going on in my elbow. Received a shot, it’s feeling better already. Definitely refer anyone that needs an orthopedic doctor.

My little guy got the best care here after breaking his arm on the trampoline. We seen Benjamin Baird, PA, and were impressed with his genuine interest and kid approved humor. We hope we aren’t back anytime soon, but if there are any more breaks, we’d choose Cascade again.

Dr. Sanders, from Cascade Orthopedic Specialists, did a much needed right kbee replacement for me in October 31, 2024. I received top level care from their staff, both pre-op and post-op. Hospital care and treatment at Mercy was excellent. Rehab at Theropy Plus was painful for the first two weeks, but healing came quickly. I now have great range of motion and living pain free with my new knee. Thank you, everyone.
