“Dr Anderson was friendly and on time. he listened and understood as I explained the nature of my visit. I was happy he was able to see me so soon before the holidays. after asking some pertinent questions and getting a brief history from me, he was able to pick up where my old doctor left off. he did some things to help reduce my pharmacy related stress. I'm feeling good about continuing our relationship through the new year. thank you!!”

“The best psychiatrist (Dr. Anderson) and the best service in 40 years. Readjusting my old unsatisfying treatment has ben a prompt success and Dr. Anderson’s diagnostics is as sharp as a blade. No psychiatrist in 40 years has been able to help me that much. Being monitored closely is precious and rare.”

Possibly the most personable doctor I have ever met….caring and compassionate but asked what he needed to ask…customer for life here!
Thanks Doctor Milton!

Dr Anderson was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Although we arrived at 857 for a 9am appointment, he actually yelled at me, to the point that other patients in the waiting room commented on it. We had to leave the appointment with him within 3-4 minutes because he was rude, accusatory and extremely unprofessional. Please read Dr Anderson's Google reviews before scheduling with this doctor. I wish I had!
