She was very helpful and professional. She gave me clear advice, backed up by reasons. I asked her for a recommendation on what to do with my knees.

Dr. Anderson listened carefully to my concerns and answered my questions thoroughly. After the exam, she discussed her findings with me and gave me an appropriate referral to a rheumatologist. I can see why she is a top-rated doctor in S.F. in orthopedics!
Very satisfied with Dr. Anderson and staff. Reception staff particularly welcoming and helpful. Only glitches were that it took a long time (almost 3 weeks) to get an appointment and the reception staff didn't seem well connected to the Zocdoc system. They were unaware that I had filled out forms online, so some duplication. Overall a very positive experience.
