I would highly recommend Dr. Chris Andersen to anyone that needs a surgeon. He is the most caring and calming doctor I have been too. I am terrified of surgery, but he put me totally at ease.

Dr Andersen has a wonderful bedside manner, he listens to you and truly hears what your concerns are...he is NOT condescending (as some in that group). He does excellent work & was very kind and patient & calming (I was a nervous wreck at first). His staff is very unfriendly (on the front desk to the woman who takes your vitals) AND I did sit well over an hour, probably an hour & 15 min waiting in the waiting room, on my first visit. I inquired 2 x (at an hour & then at an hour & 10 min) and the front desk lady was snarky the 1st time & downright hateful and snapped at me the 2nd time. BUT Dr. Andersen is GREAT, if it weren't for him, I would never go back there!!!

Dr. Andersen happened to be on call during my ER visit at Kennestone, & what luck for me! I had a infected gallbladder that had to be removed asap. He was informative, kind, and professional. The follow up visit at his office was went just as well. He and his staff were great folks to work with. If I ever need surgery again, he would be my first choice!

Dr Anderson was called in on consulation. His knowledge, demeaner, and skill were not needed but his opinions and knowledge and skills. and experience made surgery not necessary. A wonderful surgeon who considers his patients and is more concerned with their wellfare and health more than anything else
