Testi "How can I ever begin to thank you. What a work of art! I should have had surgery a long time ago, then again - I probably would not have come to you not living in Washington at the time I first thought of surgery. Not only am I 100% pleased with my surgery, to you and your staff who have always made me feel so comfortable. What a friendly, outgoing, outstanding staff you have working with you! Keep up the good work and when I am on that nude beach, i will use a black sharpie pen and write your name across my belly."

Testi "Thank you for all your care during the last several months. It is hard to express my gratitude to you and your staff. You should be very proud of your practice, your dedication, and your special ability to relate to your patients. Thank you again."

Testi "I want to thank you for the wonderful work you do. You are the nicest, most caring doctor I have ever met. I am so glad I found you to do the surgery. Jan was so helpful when I was having those down days. Your staff is very kind. I really appreciate all of you."


Testi "I just wanted to send a note to say thank you so much for the wonderful experience I had at your office. Even after much research, I went into my consultation for cosmetic surgery very nervous and unknowing of how the whole process would take place. At my very first visit, I knew I could be trusting of Dr. Sanderson through her calming and understanding demeanor. As I was lead through each step of the process, I was thankful for the thoroughness and understanding of all the staff.

When it finally came to the morning of surgery, I knew I didn't have much to worry about, i also knew I would be very well taken care of. Now that the surgery is over, I feel so grateful for being able to have worked with such a wonderful office. I am very pleased and satisfied with my cosmetic results. I don't think anyone else could have done a more wonderful job! I would recommend your office and staff to any of my friends. Thank you again, so much, for all your care and understanding."
C.B.



Qualifications

I was born in Ankara, Turkey. My family and I immigrated to the United States when I was 7 years old. I spent the majority of my childhood in Long Island, New York. I attended Cornell University on a scholarship where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in microbiology. I received my Medical Degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in 1984. I had the honor, while in Medical school, to be the Director of the National Student Research Forum and the Vice President of my class.

Following medical school, I completed a comprehensive five year general surgery residency at the University Of Maryland Hospital And The Shock Trauma Institute in Baltimore. I completed my fellowship in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Medical College of Virginia. I received extensive training in all aspects of plastic surgery – including aesthetic procedures, microsurgery, management of facial fractures, and complicated soft tissue injuries. I then spent time with several prominent plastic surgeons nationwide to further my education in my area of special interest – cosmetic procedures.

I am board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In 1991, I established my private plastic surgery practice in Bellevue Washington and am currently in Kirkland. I hold staff privileges at Overlake Hospital Medical Center.
