July 10, 2025Salina I.Verified patient
Dr. Anderson and his staff are amazing! I had a consultation appointment for getting my calf checked out for a possible tear. Everyone was beyond friendly, well organized, and had me in and out in 20 minutes flat. They have all types of imaging on site, so I didn't need to schedule a follow up appointment elsewhere to get imaging done. They did it during my initial appointment and had the results immediately. I will definitely be coming back the next time I need an orthopedist. Highly recommend this doctor!
April 8, 2025Jon D.Verified patient
Dr. Anderson is fantastic. Very knowledgable, and listened to my pain issues well before coming up with what he expected to be the issue. Which was then confirmed in minutes with the Xray. Strongly recommend to anyone in need of ortho care.
