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.

Objective but compassionate caregiver.
Discussed options for treatment objectively.

Dr. Anderson explained everything in details, was very polite and caring, most importantly, he listened to me. I was able to understand much more with Dr. Andersen than with prior Oncologist. Can not explain how much safer I feel with a Doctor that has experience and listen to the patient with humanity and care. I am very thankful to have Dr. Andersen as my Oncologist
