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.

Saved my life:
Twenty-one years ago I was airlifted to Loyola due to three brain aneurysms. I was in a coma with the first one for two weeks. Afterwards knowing I still had two more surgeries to go through, Dr. Anderson explained everything to my Dad and I. When going in for surgery I wouldn’t go in until I saw him. After some comforting words how he was going to let me die, I said OK!, let’s go! He also got me to totally quit smoking! So here I am alive and smoke free! Love you Dr. Anderson ????????

I saw Dr.Anderson for a second opinion.He provided me with an accurate,honest opinion and did not put me through unnecessary surgery or radiation. So very glad I saw him and will see him again.
