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.

Excellent neurologist
Definitely recommend.

Very thorough, knowledgeable and honest
I was accompanying my husband who recently had open heart surgery and a subsequent stroke. Dr Ander explained how and why the stroke happened, the areas affected, the recovery process and then answered all of my questions. I highly recommend him.

I'm grateful to have Dr. Ander as my neurologist. He is charismatic and intelligent and knows how to treat patients with kindness and integrity. His office staff is also the best I've seen. They go above and beyond to communicate with patients and cater to their needs.

Best neurologist I've seen
Office is clean. Staff is nice. Dr. Anders is always on time, throughly explains everything, uses visuals, never rushes, is easy to understand and has a great personality. He is humble, yet knowledgeable. He has helped me with cervical dystonia after I had seen 5 previous neurologists for spasms and pain and been disregarded. I have referred several people to his office. He even has knowledgeable of insurance.

Excellent neurologist, I’ve had migraines for the past 15 years and water in my head, and he’s the only one who’s helped me without the need for spinal taps or surgery to get rid of my migraines and the extra water

Good Neurologist
Dr. Ander is a very good listener , he spent a lot of time on explaining my mom's condition. He was very realistic in many ways. He was like a good teacher helping you to figure out how to solve and how to approach the problem. I recommend him to anyone who is suffering from migraine headaches !! His staff is very friendly and helpful.

I was blessed to have Dr Ander during my brief 2 year stay in California. He is the most kind and caring doctor I’ve ever been to. He comes in the room and sits down and listens asks chats with you like you’re the only patient in the office. Never rushes! I wish all my doctors were like him. I miss being able to see him now. The office staff was always very friendly as well!

I am extremely impressed with Dr. Ander. He spent quite a bit of time with me on my initial visit, was very attentive, and listened to what I had to say. His exam was thorough, as were his explanations as to what he thought was going on. He advised what tests he deemed appropriate and the rationale behind it. He made me feel very comfortable and at the same time confident that an answer to my issues would finally be diagnosed definitively. I highly recommend Dr. Ander and his helpful office personnel.

I'm a new patient and so far have only seen Dr. Ander a couple of times but i was very pleased with him and his caring nature. He comes in and sits down and listens to you. I did not feel rushed thru the appt by any means whatsoever which is very rare. The office staff is always very nice. I'm glad I was referred to him.

Dr. Ander and his staff are negligent in their patient care. After a 5 month waiting period for a referral to neurosurgery we decided to go elsewhere. They had been faxing the referral to a non-existing fax for months while patience health deteriorated. Please do not put loved ones under their medical care.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ander?
He's a fine Doctor but honestly it's not worth it. It's impossible to get in contact with the office and if you pay your copayment before your appointment, don't worry, they'll still bill you for it later. They cannot figure out their own billing system. I pay in office, then three months later they'll send a bill. I got into the office, pay the bill, four days later I get another bill for another appointment which I also payed for before being seen. Saw them three times. Have payed seven times.
