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.

Great experience
Attentive and respectful. Good explanation of conditions and options.

Orthopedic visit
Dr. Anderson is always professional, knowledgeable and experienced and uses research to determine the least invasive option to help patients return to baseline functioning. He listens to my goals, and formulates a plan to help me return to my previous health, with other options if treatment or therapy advised is not successful. The diagnosis’, therapies and surgeries he has performed have helped me to be able to work, play my sports and meet all my physical goals through multiple injuries, for which I am very grateful and can’t thank him enough.

Really liked Dr Andersen.
Dr Andersen was a great listener and explained things very succinctly. Also offered options for treatment starting with a conservative approach. Really good visit.

Orthopedic for Son
This was our first visit to Dr. Anderson. He patiently listened to my son explain the pain he has been experiencing and did not make any assumptions until he had the x-rays in hand to properly diagnose him. He provided immediately advice on what we can do at home as well as PT prescription. Also, talked to us about body health and growing. I would greatly recommend Dr. Anderson to anyone whether for themselves or their children.

Very Thorough, Professional, and Personable
My problem was lower back and hip pain. The right questions were asked and the tests confirmed what the doctor had thought was the issue. Going forward advice/alternatives were offered. Very pleased with the thoroughness, professionalism and results.

Great Surgeon
Dr Anderson did both of my shoulder surgeries and it was the best experience I have ever had with any doctor for any reason. He is very knowledgable and does a fantastic job explaining the process. He also did my brother's shoulders and many others I know. A++++guy

I highly recommend Dr. Andersen! He provided me with a PRP injection through the ultrasound and he was meticulous on the exact area for the injection. It worked for me and now no more limping with this knee. I'm very grateful to him!
