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.

Avoid for your child's sake, he doesn't care
My child was in the care of Dr Anderson for several years--I do not know why we stayed so long; we lost valuable time in my child's growth due to his inaction. At each visit, Dr Anderson would walk out halfway through the visit to "print our visit paperwork" and would not stay to discuss our concerns or his plan of care, ever. When I would express concerns about the plan to Dr Anderson, I was blown off. When I had concerns and asked for the doctor to call me back (just getting through to the nurse is a feat), he never called. The office is unbelievably disorganized--getting paperwork filled out correctly for insurance brought me to tears several times. They would send in forms incompletely filled out, generating weeks of delay, filling in the wrong dose or wrong medications. When I emailed bc the clinic note was wrong, no response. It was truly unbelievable. Now we have lost valuable time in my child's growth. Please, go anywhere else. He and his office staff don't care.

If you get in to see him, he is very kind. BUT, the follow up, organization, and communication is just horrible! Every single thing from forms, prescriptions, records, etc. is made so much more difficult than it should be. If you want good care for a child that needs an endicrinologist, go elsewhere. Treatment for a child with a disease should be better than this.
