Verified patient
Dr. Anderson was by far my favorite eye doctor I have ever been to! I have had incredibly bad vision my entire life and never really knew why or what caused it. Dr. Anderson explained the reasoning for my poor vision, talked me through my scans and what they meant, and offered different treatments that I hadn't heard about. He was very friendly, understanding, and answered all my questions. 10/10 recommend!
