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.

It was amazing. He was present throughout the process and listened to me as a patient. I have no complaints about the quality of service.

Please don’t pick Dr. Anderson and get another doc
He kills people including my mother for money and has five lawsuits against him for wrong chemo and prescribing morphine and does it for fun.And I hope justice can be served for the family of the people who he killed.

On December 2021 my visit with Dr. Anderson was amazing.He explained my procedure.He was caring and understanding. He Makes you feel comfortable. He is very knowledgeable about the surgery he Performed . The most important thing about him. Is that I felt safe . Thank you very much. Imagine I was referred by my GYNECOLOGIST to see Dr. Anderson for my surgery. That meant a lot for one great Dr. ( Musha) to refer me to another great Dr (Anderson).

Dr. Anderson had my mother on the wrong chemo. When she made a turn for the worst he was conveniently unavailable on vacation. In a week (during his vacation) my mom developed a limp. When we finally were able to get in to see him, he sat us down and said "Everybody dies". It made my mother cry. He is so insensitive and did not take responsibility for his own mistakes. After going to 2 other doctors, they informed us that him doing surgery first was a bad decision and that he had her on chemo for breast cancer not uterine cancer. This guy needs to go back to medical school.

Dr. Anderson is one of the best doctors I have ever had. He is professional, thorough, comforting, communicative, and compassionate in his care. He takes the time to explain in laymen terms, not medical jargon that is difficult to understand. His action plan is determined only after he has ascertained all the data on "his" patient as an individual. The wait time in his office is lengthy, so pack a lunch and bring a book, but "this doctor is worth the wait!" Cici, Jersey City, NJ
