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.

Dr. Anderson was so professional and has a wonderful rapport. He answered my questions and explained options in an understandable manner.

EXCELLENT ORTHOPOD WHO CARES ABOUT THE PATIENT
Dr. Anderson has tremendous knowledge and expertise. He is an excellent diagnostician who is very patient-oriented and geared to explaining everything in easily understood layman’s terms. With all of his expertise, he is kind and caring; the patient comes first. I have been his patient for 2 different problems including one surgery and had excellent results both times. Thank you Dr Anderson!!

Dr. Anderson ‘Excellent Orthopedic Physican’
Dr. Anderson explained my MRI in terms that I could understand. He offered options for pain management and suggestions for antii- inflammatory practices. He is the first doctor I have met in numerous years that did not rush the visit. He was genuine in his efforts to understand my pain and offer options to alleviate it. I would highly recommend him.

The BEST
I trust Rothman surgeons beyond any others. The head man, Richard Rothman, did bilateral total hip replacement on me several years ago. Dr Greg Anderson is the best spine surgeon you can find. He did my herniated disk and also my wife’s spinal fusion. He is caring, listens and explains things that you can understand. His honesty is truly appreciated. His skill with surgery is beyond compare !

Dr. Anderson was my my spine surgeon for several years and did my spinal fusion. He exhausted every conservative treatment before recommending the surgery and did an excellent job providing me the means to make a significant recovery. He is knowledgeable, honest, and goes above and beyond for patients.

Have had the pleasure of Dr. Anderson being my spine surgeon for 6 years now. Believe me I was at the end of my rope with spinal disease. Dr. Anderson exhausted every Avenue before I had to have surgery. He is kind, gentle, knowledgeable and is genuinely interested in the whole person, not just the operative area. He spends an extensive amount of time with you, to ensure that you understand each step in the process. No question is too muck. He gives you whatever it takes, like you are his only patient for the day. He explains things in layman’s terms so the average joe can understand and truly allays all your fears at that time. HE TAKES HIS TIME AND HAS A VERY ELOQUENT BEDSIDE MANNER. His patients are truly NUMBER 1. From day one I’ve always said he has hands from GOD. And he has given me back my life from constant pain and dysfunction. Again thank you to Dr.Anderson.

Dr Anderson did a cervical fusion followed by lumbar a few weeks later. My recovery from the cervical was much better than my mother’s and siblings’ (genetics). As he described it his minimally invasive technique used a person the move things around with their fingers when needed, versus retractors or whatever clamping on body parts for the surgeries duration. He also monitored up a nerve signals during the surgery. 2 years later… very happy. Most numbness and pain in arms is gone. Also very happy with the lumbar surgery. After 2 years I feel the surgery is working. I can walk and stand! Still stiff and I think I’ll need to stretch & exercise for the duration, but VAST improvement!!!

Dr Anderson is an excellent surgeon and I would highly recommend the Rothman Institute and their specialty hospital in Bensalem. I had TLIF surgery in September, thought there was a problem, and was having unusual pain. I Called for an appointment in the AM and had an appointment and was scheduled that afternoon. An X-RAY was taken and Dr Anderson answered all my questions. Great service. Great doctor.

Dr. Anderson is truly a physician’s physician(( and I am one also!). He is what I call quietly confident who listens to all of your symptoms and comes up with his approach to your problems. Even though my surgery will be long( 8 hours and difficult) I have great faith and confidence in Dr. Anderson that we will succeed!

Dr. Anderson performed a spinal fusion on my lower back in April 2019. My goal, after experiencing pain for years and numbness in my leg, multiple epidurals, was to be pain free, run and just to be able to stand and have a conversation. All three goals have been accomplished. It is now six months later, the pain was gone immediately except for healing time of course and I feel great! I wouldn't take the time to do this rating if Dr. Anderson did not deserve it. He definitely made a difference in my life.
