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.

Glad he was available.
I went to my regular eye doctor for an exam. He found a detached retina in my left eye and sent me to see Dr. Anderson. Dr. Anderson worked me in the same day. After his exam, he told me that he was going to do a laser procedure and it needed to be done right then. He explained everything very well. He asked if I had any questions. I found that Doctor Anderson was courteous and professional. I'm glad he was able to see me.

I went to him because I had promblem with my eye. He made me feel important and not as scared. He talked with me sent me to u t. Hospital and he probably saved my life. I found out I had a blockage and if he hadn’t been persistent with me on going I could probably had. A massive stroke or heart attack. I feel he literally saved my life.his staff was so kind and understanding. Even the receptionist was so sweet when I came out crying. I will forever be grateful for dr Anderson

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Anderson explained my condition fully and answered every question that I had. He was kind, obviously an expert in his field, and empathetic; I never felt that he was in a hurry. I highly recommend him. Additionally, his staff was exceptional and took time with me in preparation for my exam.

Excellent, efficient care.
Having a torn retina repaired by Dr. Anderson was done in an extremely prompt manner, one that I became completely confident in. He fully restored my vision to 20/20.

I was very concerned when my regular eye physician told me that I needed to see a retinal specialist. When he told me I needed to see one that day or the next,I knew it was very serious. Dr Doss immediately got on the phone,and i was on my way to see Dr Anderson. He was amazing as he explained I would need surgery on both eyes (retinal tears)! I can’t say enough about the awesome care I received. I’m an RN myself,and I know exceptional care and had an excellent outcome. I just want to thank Dr Anderson and his staff for a job well done!!!

Dr. Anderson and his team are outstanding!! He helped me through my BRVO that I had been dealing with for 7 years. He set out a game plan, we followed it, and I am so fortunate to say my eye has healed, I have been taken off the eye drops, and have been released! He is so professional and caring, very sincere, and willing to listen to your concerns. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Anderson for your special ophthamology care.

Dr. Anderson is an awesome retina eye specialist. He did my surgery 12 years ago for a detached retina and it has done great. No problems and I am very blessed with that I have seen other doctors at this practice when this first happened and all have been great. Your eyes are something you cannot replace so you must have confidence in your doctor. I highly recommend.

I had a torn retina and I was referred to Dr. Anderson by my ophthalmologist. Dr Anderson was very cordial and has great listening skills. During my visit there were some emergencies that came in. Because of that my appointment was a tad longer but I figured if he devoted time to those patients he would take his time with me and he did. I was very pleased with Dr. Anderson and his staff.

Dr Anderson was very professional and explained his findings so it could be understood easily. He was not in a hurry (as compared to some of the other workers) in seeing his patients and getting them out of the office. He was professional and caring. I'd recommend his services.

Dr. Anderson is an amazing doctor. I had a retinal detachment about 2 years ago and was so afraid I would lose the sight in that eye. This wonderful doctor with his magnificent skill and hands of gold fixed my eye. I now see 20/20 in both eyes. I will never be able to thank him enough. God bless him and his entire exceptional staff. They are the best!!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Anderson for over 5 years. He is treating me for an eye bleed in my left eye. I’m a commercial driver and must pass a DOT vision test yearly in order to keep working. My last exam my vision was 20/15. Without the medical care from Dr. Anderson and his staff I would be unemployed. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Dr. Anderson has been taking care of my eye problems for over 10 years. He has done a great job and I would not want to change. Dr. Anderson has had to Laser repair the retina in both of my eyes and remove the floaters. He also took care of my fathers eyes for 8 years, through some pretty interesting problems, and did a great job. He and his staff are very friendly and efficient. You will not find a better eye/retina surgeon!
