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.

Caring and competent
Dr Anstead gives her patients the time needed to understand their health concerns and symptoms. She is empathetic, thorough, and offers an effective treatment plan, then checks in with her patient to make sure they understand and can follow through.

Master in her field
I was a former patient of Dr. Anstead. I’ve been trying to track her down for a few years now. I was excited to find her at a new location and now I know that I’m in good hands.

Her pleasant, happy to see you personality. She has always been a caring personality at all my interactions with her. She is a top notch Dr. and I am the first to tell anybody about how wonderful she is and has been. The problem with this Review, is that there are not enough stars to give her.

Amazing!
I had been dealing with a terrible illness and cough for almost a year - trying all kinds of treatments and medications... Dr. Anstead was the first doctor I saw during this ordeal who gave me clear and honest answers. She was totally confident in her ability to help me, and that gave me confidence to move forward with a sinus surgery. I am still dealing with some autoimmune issues, and Dr. Anstead has provided referrals to other docs to help with those underlying issues... It's been over a year now since the surgery and my sinus condition is gone and with a new team in place, I'm well on my way back to optimal overall health. Dr. Anstead not only helped me with the acute sinus issues and the surgery (she's a rock star!), but she has always taken time with me to answer broad/general health questions, provide outside resources and support and be a bit of a cheerleader for me as I trudged my way through the challenging time. So grateful to have her in my corner!

Beyond 5 stars--Dr. Anstead is truly phenomenal
Dr. Anstead is truly a brilliant doctor. Not only that, she's kind and humble. She takes time to meet with her patients and answer their questions. She figured out and properly diagnosed my particular sinus issue that 32 other doctors had failed to properly do over several years back in the midwest. I can't recommend her enough. She is incredibly gifted ans my family and I are eternally grateful to her.

Excellent doctor! She resolved my sinus issues.
My appointment was a follow up regarding my chronic sinus issues. Which hasn't been a problem since she recommended I take DUPIXENT injections in April 2022. It's a miracle drug!! Dr. Anstead is very knowledgeable, professional, kind, friendly and willing to find a solutions to address my issues.

Loved her!
She covered all of my issue areas thoroughly. She didn’t just stop at my clear CT and go I don’t know like my previous ENT. I received a ton of information and referral info for my other issues that she doesn’t treat. I feel like I now have a solid plan and a light at the end of the tunnel.
