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.

Worst outcome possible: DEATH
My brother never awakened after surgery done by Dr Anderson. He had made it sound like it would be quite successful. Stay away!

Excellent Surgeon/Doctor
my dad had a ascending aneurysm on 5/2021 at a different hospital and surgeon and never got better. We changed his cardiologist who brought us to Dr. Anderson Dr. Kaple amd their amazing teams and what a life changing experience not only for my dad but for the entire family. The nursing staff in Critical Care is the absolute best. We are forever grateful to the surgeons, structural heart team and all the amazing nurses we met along the way.

Outstanding surgical team.
Dr Anderson and his surgical team were all outstanding professionals. I can’t express my gratitude enough. From my first contact with his staff and my conversation with doctor Anderson before surgery , to the nurses getting me into the operating room Thanks to nurse Jones for the compassion and conversation on the way to the operating room boy did it reassure me and relax me. The surgical team led by Doctor Anderson outstanding. The post op care by His team led by Dr. Hunter and nurses again outstanding. I was seen by Dr. Hunter a lot and he always had time for conversation that I really enjoyed. From the time I was brought into the ER having a heart attack till my discharge after open heart surgery my family was treated so well by everyone as was I. Thank God I was brought to Hackensack Hospital.

On May 2017 Dr. Anderson replaced my aortic valve with stenosis , today I feel great full of energy . On the interview with Dr. Anderson he told me that after the operation I would be back to live a normal life , so far it’s true . The scar on my torso is minimal and you can hardly see it . Thank you Dr. Anderson and your team for such an amazing job.

DR. Anderson did an incredible job with my surgery. I had an aorta replaced, and a aorta tissue valve installed. It has been almost 5 weeks, and the road to recovery has been great. Monica, and the girls in the office have been FANTASTIC. Follow up was great, and they are very detailed. THANKS TO THE FINEST DOCTORS OFFICE AROUND. -----JOHN PANKRATZ12/4/17

This guy is amazing. He saved my life using minimally invasive techniques. I was out of the hospital 3 days after surgery and I feel great. I had other surgeons tell me if they had family in need of surgery they would have dr Anderson do it. He is very highly respected among cardiologist and cardiac icu doctors and nurses. The guy is a rockstar I am so happy I found him and he saved my chest tattoo of my son, which probably isn't important to many people but it meant a lot to me.
