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.

Incredible!! So caring, gentle, helpful, wise!
Dr. Anderson is amazing!! I saw another otolaryngologist where I was scared. . . . !! But Dr. Anderson puts me at ease, he performed Strobovideolaryngoscopy ( which can be scary), but with Dr. Anderson I'm at ease. Such an amazing doctor!!

I had seen 2 other ENTs before. I always felt rushed and not cared for, but Dr. Anderson was just the opposite. He listened to me, answered my questions, called me at home to speak with my husband, and showed empathy. We discussed what was going on in my larynx, explaining what we saw in the laryngoscopy. I felt comfortable in asking questions that were thoroughly answered. Then we discussed treatment options and are currently moving forward with treatment. Dr. Anderson is a wonderful doctor - and human being.
