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.

I didn’t get to see Dr. Anders in the office, but his staff was top notch. I’d definitely recommend this office for care and compassion. I WAS able to speak to Dr. Anders on a tele health appt. He too was top notch and explained some things that I was unsure of, from my recent diagnosis of congestive heart failure.

My initial visit was to establish myself as his patient, since I was referred to him by the VA. I didn't meet him in person, but had a telephone appointment, after visiting his office. He sounded sincere, was attentive to my health situation. Asked questions and answered all my questions and concerns. He put me 'at ease', during the conversation, taking time and not rushing me. He definitely was more concerned for my illness, than my previous private healthcare pulmonologist.
