I never write reviews, but feel obligated to do so for Dr. Anderson. For anyone to give him anything other than an excellent rating, is absurd. He actually listens to you... which is rare these days. He also is very direct and methodical in his practice. He gives you great suggestions, feedback, tips and tricks of things to try and is very naturally based in his approach (meaning he wants you to focus on things like diet, exercise and meditation, as opposed to just trying to prescribe you pills to get you out of his office). He knows his stuff and it shows. He does his research about everything and will tell you if something is truly effective or not, and can quote the medical journals to support or deny things. It's amazing! He is amazing! By far the best doctor I have ever had. I would highly encourage anyone to go see him.

I have been a patient for the past 10 years of Dr. Anderson. His straightforward approach to his patients is the trait I like the most. He takes the time to listen to your problems and is quick to get you a referral to the appropriate specialist if needed.

I've been trying to get treatment for my son for more than ten years and finally, we found someone who would LISTEN! Not only did Dr. Anderson listen, he also took the time to EXPLAIN what was more than likely causing the pain.He did a thorough exam, in addition to addressing the acute pain we'd gone in for, and during that time he found what he suspects may be the cause of several medical issues my son has been dealing with for several years now.I could CRY with relief to finally have an answer and a treatment plan. This was my son's LAST effort to see a Doctor. If he heard the same thing again, he was ready to swear of Doctors altogether.I can't let the praise stop with Dr. Anderson because his office staff is just as good as he is. We got an appointment right away, the nurse was thorough and listened intently as well. Bottom line: we couldn't be happier with every aspect of our visit!

Always a long wait even when you call ahead. Not acceptable.
