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.

Bedside manner is terrible.
Some of the worst bedside manner. Came in with pains in my body, and was YELLED at for only having an at-home covid test. Refused to look at anything else because of it. Almost was crying in pain.

Worst doctor I have ever experienced. Terrible bedside manner. Even the nurse does not like this "doctor". Overcharges by an extreme amount. Just check the Google reviews. This so-called Doctor sees you for five minutes, labels it an "urgent care" appointment and charges you $270. All the while not taking any of your questions or concerns seriously. Just read the Google reviews and you'll be relieved not to have visited this "doctor".

I have given this office numerous attempts at providing treatment and service. I foolishly named Dr. Anderson as my primary physician and am changing today. Never was abl to meet him personally and working with the front office staff was truly unhelpful and unpleasant.

I have always had good care and a caring bed side manner when I see Dr Anderson. He is thorough and knowledgable. I recommend him highly.
