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.

First Class Operation
Dr. Andersen is a great pediatrician that has always taken the time to listen and offer comprehensive and nuanced medical advice. Our child has special needs and Dr. Andersen and his staff saw to it that we didn't have a prolonged wait as these situations can be tumultuous for our boy. Just all around a great experience due to exceptional "bedside manner". We can't recommend Dr. Andersen enough.

Bed side Manners are far greater then most others
Always great with my girls, can’t forget to mention Dr. Hoffman another great physician. Other doctors should take notes on how treat and communicate with their patients and parents.

I love how he remembers my baby like he was his only patient. Appts are really quick and smooth. He doesn’t harass you to take vaccines you’re not comfortable with either.

Years ago we took our daughter to Dr. Robert Andersen for a 2nd opinion just before a surgery. Another doctor had recommended that our daughter have a 2nd surgery for a new set of tubes to be put in her ears to help with her chronic ear infections (she had outgrown here 1st set of tubes/naturally fallen out). Dr. Andersen asked if we had done any allergy testing. We hadn't. We told him we had cruddy insurance & we'd have to pay out of pocket for allergy testing. He had us test for the 10 most common allergies in children. She was allergic to milk & eggs. We removed those foods from her diet & the chronic ear infections stopped. We continue to take our daughter to Dr. Anderson (she is now 14). He has continued to have wisdom & knowledge over the years and we are SO grateful he is her doctor.

Would not listen to us. We told him the symptoms our child was having and he completly ignored them. Fast forward 4 years and our son is diagnosed with epilepsy. The neurologist confirms that the symptoms we told to Dr. Anderson were in fact a seizure. Had he listened to us our son could have gotten help 4 years sooner.

Dr. Anderson has been wonderful and genuinely cares about the wellness of his patients. He is very responsive and patient- always answering all of our questions and concerns as new parents and putting us at ease. I especially love the way he is with our son and his flexibility with scheduling day of appointments - it gives us extra assurance that we selected the right pediatrician.

He is a rude and ignorant person. He's only nice as long as you agree with him and not challenge his authority. He mocked me and told me I should use my brain and questioned my faith because I disagreed with his view of vaccines. I couldn't believe how unprofessional and disrespectful he was to me in front of my child! He also didn't address the issue my child was having, again, and it turned out to be another useless visit. I will never step foot in this practice again.
