Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding attention and standard of care given
Dr. Anderson performed an examination that indicated a different issue with the joint than was previously considered and then proceeded to provide treatment to ease the pain and help things heal and return to normal. However, he reassured me that if I was still having symptoms after six weeks to return for further assessment and treatment. I highly recommend this Physician.

Smart Doctor
My husband thought he would need surgery but Dr Anderson said let’s do an injection and see if that helps the healing process. We recommend him. Great doctor.

Very nice. Answered all question I needed.
I fell and dislocated my shoulder. When I went in they re-x-rayed. He was very good about my exam telling me I shouldn’t need surgery. I’ll see him in five weeks after PT very nice. Would definitely come back to him again.
