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.

He hears what you say and always reviews my case.
I have known Dr. Anderson for a long time, I have no thyroid, it was surgically removed in two separate surgeries, first in February 1966....I was 18 years old....a lump came up on my right side facing the mirror, I showed my Mother. I saw the doctor the same day....said I would need surgery. He removed one lobe and half the crossbar. Then in 1970 I was having a normal checkup and Doctor said I have a tumor on my remaining Thyroid and crossbar that must be removed. So for the second time the surgeon took the lobe and remaining cross bar and they were removed January 1970....Dr. S. Anderson, talks and we catch up first then he checks my throat area. All is going well for me, I just have new growth where my thyroid use to be ...I trust my doctor. Thank you....

Excellent practice that helped achieve real result
Telehealth
Recently had my first televisit with Dr Anderson. As a bit of a ludite I was reluctant, but Dr Anderson put me at ease and was, as always, professional, caring and quite competent. We have worked together for a number of years with very good results, and I look forward to being around to work with him and his group for many years to come.

Highly Recommend - Excellent Physician
I have been a patient of Dr. Sam Anderson for over 15 years. I’m so grateful to him for guiding me through thyroid cancer and diabetes. I might not be here today if not for him. Thank you Dr. Anderson for being kind, caring, and taking such good care of me all these years!

Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Dr. Anderson very clearly explained my options and when I choose one he told me exactly what he was going to do. Never felt rushed or anything other then he wanted me to be comfortable with what we were talking about. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
