Dr Anderson is very knowledgeable, patient and caring! She explains everything. If we call her to ask a question, she calls you right back if she is at the office and not in the OR. Her team is also wonderful, they are very proactive! I m very thankful for finding Dr.Anderson for my treatment!

I went through the entire process not knowing how painful and slow to recover it was. I felt I was sent home the afternoon of the surgery and I could scarcely function. It may have been business as usual for the doctor but not for me. I’m 81 and frail

Dr. Anderson checked in with me before and after the surgical procedure. This last visit, which was post-op, she explained everything in the surgical notes as well as the pathology report. She answered every question I had and spent a lot of time with me about aftercare. I am so very pleased with this choice of surgeon and will recommend her whenever I can.

Dr Anderson made me feel much more comfortable than I had been feeling about the diagnosis and plan to address the diagnosis. While I did feel a slight lack of human connection on our first visit, I have since come to feel very comfortable with her and she is an excellent doctor and surgeon. What a weight that lifted when you can truly trust your doctor and medical team.
