““Everyone that greeted me was very professional and made me feel comfortable and safe! They took every precaution to keep areas wiped down with disinfectant. I'm always thankful when x-rays get completed on-site instead of having to make another appointment elsewhere! The x-ray tech was very attentive to my comfort while trying to get the best results. Dr. Anderson is a true professional! She provided me with a precise diagnosis and discussed my options. As I've elected to have a surgical procedure done, I find myself thankful again that they also have the surgical facility in the next building! Dr. Anderson, the faculty and organization, provide me with a lot of positives in a negative situation!” Vickie P.”

““Dr. Anderson is the “best.” I came in to get an Injection in my Right Hand, She has performed surgery on both my hands, because of an accident. She is “awesome,” always 110%. I am going to have her perform Surgery on my Right Hand in the Spring. I always recommend her when someone asks who had done my past Surgeries.” Larry W.”
