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.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. ANDERSON
I had a tibia, fibula, knee fx, compartment syndrome, had an artery occlude. Dr. Romney Anderson not only saved my leg, he saved my life. I wore an external fixator for over 8 weeks. A double side faciotomy was done too to relieve the swelling and pressure. Dr. Anderson and his staff closely monitored me for complete healing, and any suspicious on-goings. Doctor Anderson showed up at 2:30 in the morning to do emergency surgery on me for 6.5 hours! I am taking steps, everything healed very well. I trust Dr. Anderson with my life. I am blessed God put me in his caring, competent hands. My accident happened August 24, 2024, and I am walking short distances! Dr. Anderson is a God send!

I had a trimollear fracture with separation between my tibia and fibula. Dr. Andersen operated on me in April of 2020. A number of things have undermined my confidence in Dr. Andersen and his clinical team: 1. I was told before surgery that no screws would need to be removed later. No one spoke to me after surgery -- they only spoke to my husband -- but I didn't realize until several days later that a screw was placed that would later need to be removed. I was told that this was because it wasn't written up properly in the report from the ER doctor; it was written as a "possible" presentation of the tibia/fibula thing, even though I was already told that this was an issue. 2. It wasn't mentioned to me until about 3 weeks post surgery that I couldn't weight bear because of the screw and that, if I did, it could snap. In my opinion, this is material information. 3. I asked the NP at my first appointment whether there was evidence that I had ligament damage, and she said no. In a fol

I shattered my elbow and Dr. Anderson was the person who saw me in the ER. I said he wanted to see me every week. Well every visit went from 1 week to 2 weeks to 1 month to 2 months. From the beginning he was adamant that I did not need surgery. As the months passed and I expressed my concern about not getting better. It took me getting a second opinion to figure out that the largest piece of the shattered elbow had slid half way down the bone and healed in the wrong place. STAY AWAY
