Dr. Eric Anderson, MEDICAL, DOCTOR, MD

NEW PATIENTS BE AWERE!!! By far the worse office and doctor I have ever been to. The man has no bed side manners, no personality whatsoever (very dull), the type that does not enjoy his profession and only practices for the money. I went to see him for a slightly elevated PSA of 4.5 with symptoms of prostate pressure… I explained to him that I had just cleared a UTI and he interrupted me in a condescending way, challenging me with the fact that males seldom getsu UTIs and switched to the possibility of being prostate cancer, and on top of that he started on his own, to give me explanations for prostate cancer treatments, “surgery or CHEMICAL CASTRATION”, these were his exact words! I left the office very disturbed. Immediately booked my MRI with my orders to the Santa Fe Imaging to send my results to my PCP ONLY! Results came back as prostatitis, took antibiotics and PSA now back to normal! The office: when I booked my appointment, I specifically requested for the office to confirm… that they excepted my Presbyterian insurance, they checked and told me yes. When I went to the appointment, they made a copy of my insurance card and drivers license, I paid my copay… Now, almost 6 months later they are sending me a bill for U$338 dollars for the office visit claiming that they did not accept my insurance. It seems that this office has this dishonest practices with insurance scheme, as they did the exact thing to my partner.

Getting an appt was almost impossible. Ended up in ER. Had quite a bit of pain after the procedure but he literally did not believe me. Basically blew me off. Getting a referral to another one. Can't recommend him to anyone.

I would not recommend him to anyone

I went to see Dr. Anderson because I had cloudy urine with leukocytes but no bacterial infection. He performed a surgical cystoscopy and cauterized a section of my bladder. The surgery itself was fraught with problems. After the procedure I wanted to see him but he "couldn't see me" for 13 weeks. During that time I continued to have cloudy urine with some pain. When I finally saw him he told me I had a bacterial infection. I REPEAT I DID NOT HAVE ONE WHEN I HAD THE PROCEDURE. The infection is Klebsiella, which is a very dangerous infection. I'm surprised I wasn't sicker during that 13 weeks. The only way I know it's Klebsiella is that I asked for the results of the culture to be sent to my PCP. The probable cause of the infection is insufficiently cleaned instruments. Dr. Anderson prescribed Levaquin which is also an extremely dangerous antibiotic and in the literature it says "it may be responsible for 30,000 deaths." My PCP prescribed a sulfa-based antibiotic that I have done well… with in the past. I hope the infection has not become so virulent that the sulfa-based antibiotic will be unable to work. Dr. Anderson acts like a really nice guy, but I think he's a really bad doctor.

Dr. Anderson, is kind, considerate and very skilled

was very caring,and concerned

Dr. Anderson is very competent, accessible, and compassionate. He has a great staff as well. Everyone made me feel at ease, from the ladies behind the desk to the nurses. I will definitely recommend him to family and friends within a 200 mi radius of Taos and Santa Fe.

He treated me for interstitial cystitis......he was the first urologist or Dr that understood what this condition is and how to treat it, that I have ever met.

Dr. Anderson is outstanding urologist. Very personable and competent.

I went to Dr. Anderson with the same complaint he must see 100 times a day! Benign prostatic hypertrophy. I was giving him the same ol' story he hears every day. Once he whipped out his little pocket ultrasound unit, and saw how MUCH residual urine I was walking around with, he suddenly wasn't bored anymore! I was carrying around 20oz...much more, I would've left the office with a catheter! So he did an unscheduled cystoscopy on me that afternoon. Three weeks later, I was in surgery, getting a 'photovaporization of the prostate' (PVP). A month later, I can pee like I was 19 again! His complication rate for this procedure is less than 1%...it doesn't GET any better than that. While his bedside manner is initially a bit dry (heh...), he actually really cares about his patients, and goes out of his way to answer all your questions. So if you're a middle aged or older guy, and you've been dinking around with medication, and you're still having a hard time with it....get… 'er DONE! You will be glad you did, and you're NOT going to find anyone better, so just DO it, before you wind up in the ER one night because you can no longer pee at ALL...I was heading in that direction.
