Clinical Associate Professor of Orthopaedics, University at Buffalo
I am one of only two orthopaedic surgeons trained in trauma practicing in the greater Buffalo region. My expertise and experience allow me to treat people with multiple traumatic and complex pelvis and extremity injury. As director of orthopaedic trauma services at Erie County Medical Center (ECMC), my practice encompasses care of patients who have sustained acute, complex orthopaedic trauma and complications of musculoskeletal trauma. My goal is to return patients to full function from what are sometimes devastating injuries. In addition to trauma care, I care for general orthopaedics patients who have a wide variety of clinical problems, including those with complications from injury and patients in need of lower-extremity joint reconstruction. As a member of UBMD Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine since completing my orthopaedic trauma fellowship in 1995, I care for people from all walks of life. My goal and greatest satisfaction is bringing about a successful clinical result for my patients

"I had a great experience with UBMD Ortho, I had a knee issue and it was taken care of with professionalism and answers with Dr. Mark Anders."
"Recently I had an appointment with Dr. Mark Anders. The appointments were running late, but it was well worth the wait. My knee had been very uncomfortable for the past 2 months. Since I had a hip replacement on the other side I was more worried about any damage I could do walking with a slight limp. He explained the situation and made me feel at ease. The shot he gave me made a world of difference, and he was right I felt better by the time I got to my car. I am at work today and for the first time in a few weeks got a great nights sleep. I like the fact that he explained he doesn't recommend knee replacement unless necessary (which I was hoping wouldn't be the case). I go back in 2 months for a follow-up, with the option of seeing him sooner if the knee acts up. I was very satisfied with my visit!"
A great surgeon makes all the difference. Heartfelt thanks go to Dr. Mark Anders for reconstructing my acetabulum last summer after I was struck by a truck. I believe he used 10 pins/screws to get all the parts realigned. The precision with which he put me back together is remarkable. Within 2 weeks I had minimal hip pain. I was walking again without pain after 3 months. There were several other trauma injuries that had to heal or be corrected. But now 8 months after the hip repair I am running again – also without pain. While I still have to continue to rebuild my stamina and strength, my goal is to run a marathon again perhaps later this year. I know several people who have had skeletal fractures, reconstructions, and joint replacements and have had long recoveries, residual problems, and have never regained full function. Many people remark about how well I am doing and how quickly I recovered. Yes, I have worked hard but the underlying surgical fix was excellently done and that is what has made it possible for me to push myself and get back to where I was before being struck. Dr. Anders is recognized and well respected around the country. My son (an MD from CA) informed me while I was at ECMC that I was fortunate to have been in Western NY when the accident happened because the surgeon who did the work was one of the best. When I returned home to Cincinnati, the orthopedists who took over my case was impressed with the reconstruction and asked who did the work. When he learned it was Mark Anders, his comment was "Yes, looks like his work. I’ll see him in a few weeks and will tell him I have the case, now." Thank you Dr. Anders.
