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.

Poor Care
I feel being treated by Dr. Anderson was worse than a waste of time and money. When tests showed I had potentially life-threatening bacteria, she dawdled for FOUR DAYS before calling in a prescription for me, and even then no one notified me of the test results or the waiting prescription - I learned of that by accident. She appeared to do more harm than good by using outdated techniques that were proven harmful decades ago. There’s more, but you get the idea. I have found far better treatment elsewhere. If you want effective help, do NOT go to Dr. Karla Anderson.
