Dr. William Merrick Sanders

Do not waste your time with this person. He doesn't respect your time, and you'll wait at least 30 minutes after seeing the nurse in the examination room. I'd rather find a new doctor than deal with unprofessional one.

He’s the best in Chicago, hands down. Absolutely would recommend!

I was very impressed with both his staff and his manner. Everyone was timely, which I know can be difficult. He took the time to understand my issues, and even offered to speak with a family member by phone. Everyone in the office was helpful and attentive, including the nursing staff. I would highly recommend and I never write reviews , so that's saying something! I was very impressed with both his staff and his manner. Everyone was timely, which I know can be difficult.

I have been a patient of Dr Sanders for several years. I have a high regard for his medical education at a prestigious medical school as well as his several decades of experience as a Chicago pulmonogist. Dr Sanders is a man of integrity and honesty and always demonstrates professionalism and is eager to listen to patients to offer the best solution to their problems. I never feel rushed when consulting with him and always obtain the best advice from him. I trust his judgment and believe he is one of the better pulmonologists in greater Chicago. Additionally, his assistant Debra is fantastic! She makes you feel welcome, has a great personality and works well with Dr Sanders. I have been a patient of Dr Sanders for several years.

5 star! Excellent pulmonologist I just finished my visit with him, Very detailed Dr took 2 hrs with me. Reviewing my ct, he did test in the office. He explained his plan for my recovery of lung function! Highly recommended.

NOT good. This man is rude and uncaring at a high level. Repeated tests which cost thousands (and hundreds in co-pays) and his verbal report on them is "normal"...and yet I still have dyspnea. He will walk in to an exam room and not even speak to you, even if you say hello. He heads to the computer, does his typing, and if you ask a question, he may not respond for 5 minutes, and then with one or two word answers. He will tell you the next test you need and not even look at you as he walks out of the exam room. Just the worst excuse for a doctor I have ever met. This man needs a new occupation. Stay away!

Doctor Sanders took care of my 84-year-old mother in the hospital. She had multiple chronic medical problems, and he was very kind and patient explaining all of them with us. She still talks about him nearly every day.

Doctor, I pray you read this. You need to work on your bedside manner. You are arrogant, rude and dismissive. To visibly roll your eyes as a confused, elderly patient tries to explain himself and dares to interrupt you is appalling. Then to add insult to injury, you dare to act as though it’s a bother when a family member attempts to explain to you what the patient was saying. Who exactly do you think you are sir? You need a vacation or an attitude adjustment. Saw you in the ICU at St. Joe’s.

Excellent doctor. Took time to explain everything about my asthma. I feel much better after seeing Dr. Sanders.

I needed to see a pulmonologist urgently as I was having concerning symptoms and my wife was due with our first child the same day I saw my primary care doctor. Dr. Sanders staff was flexible in scheduling me the next day. When I came in the staff were courteous and friendly. The doctor listened attentively, checked me out, and personally got follow up tests scheduled at the hospital that same day. He followed up with results immediately. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

My 81 year old Mother went to see Dr. Sanders with breathing problems and symptoms of a possible blood clot. Instead of ordering a test, Dr. Sanders ignored my sisters request for further testing and prescribed a new inhaler. My Mother ended up in the ER two weeks later and it was discovered that she had two blood clots and one in each lung. Dr. Sanders negligence could have cost my Mother her life. She suffered for several weeks longer because of Dr. Sanders.
