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.

Really brings the 'urgency' in urgent care
Ok, it wasn't an urgent visit, but he certainly makes it feel like one. Not sure what's with the rush—other providers at the same location took their time to listen and sustain a thoughtful conversation.I visited him for my concussion. He expected instant, single-worded answers to his questions. He expected me to recall things day-by-day like a calendar. He would cut me off and ask his next question.I asked some questions, and it didn't seem like he addressed them. He would say 'doesn't matter' or lump it under the rug of 'it's because of your concussion' without going into deeper details of the physiology that I was looking for. If he did, I wouldn't know because he was talking too fast.If you need something like a doctor's note, tell it straight to his face, otherwise he won't bother writing one for you.My headache was worse after that appointment.

Rude
Very rude. He doesn't let people finish their sentences and is impatient. He is accurate and gets the job done, but is very unpleasant and doesn't like to be questioned.

I went in for a minor infection at the site of an earlobe piercing. He told me that it was caused by the foreign body of the earring, and could only be solved by taking it out. The piercing had previously been in for 11.5 weeks with no issue, and was clearly not an allergic reaction that he said it was. He also blamed it on my face mask, questioning how long I’d been wearing it (since 2020). His advice went against the consensus of professional piercers and general medical advice about mask usage.

Dr. Anderson was very knowledgable. Was able to diagnose skin condition several dermatologists were unable to. Refreshing to have a physician who was to the point and knew exactly what need to be done. Would recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Anderson was extremely rude to me. I came in complaining of chest pain and he immediately attributed my problems to anxiety, would not listen to me, essentially accused me of lying for not remembering the exact date and time of my symptoms starting. When I tried to answer his questions he would interrupt and yell at me for not answering correctly. At one point I started crying and he left the room. He was the worst physician I have ever seen.
