Good experience
Best experience I've ever had with UH. From the receptionist to the X-ray tech to the doctor. Everyone was polite and professional. You should have the people at this location train all the other locations since it's the first time I didn't feel like I ruined someones day by showing up to an appointment.
Provider was very friendly, informative, and approachable. His knowledge, active listening skills, thoughtfulness, and ability to clearly communicate his diagnosis engendered a great amount of confidence in his conclusions. He really stood out as an exceptional provider.
Dr. Anderson is always great. He is careful in his exam, explains carefully what all the options are, and listens to all my questions. I have had him for several things with my hand. Very happy with him.
Dr Anderson has been the ultimate professional. He sits, listens attentively to my description of the presenting problem. He asks questions and presents options of the treatment starting with least invasive to surgery,
The Doctor was great ***
Very satisfied with overall visit experience
You are the best in every way possible
This was the first time that I saw Dr Anderson. It was for carpal tunnel that I was dealing with for about 4 months. He was very professional and answered all my questions and explained what I needed to do. I would definitely go back to him again if I need to. Right now my carpal tunnel has cleared up.
He was great and very honest and understanding about everything and he is getting down to the medical condition I have and getting back to me on a plan I am very proud to call him my dr cause no other dr would do anything and he is willing to get down to it thank u
Everyone was sooooo professional
Always takes my pain away.
Dr Anderson is wonderful! He talks to you, not at you. He explains things thoroughly and he interjects humor, which I enjoy. He and his staff are great.
Excellent specialist!
Good

Dr Anderson is always careful to explain everything and to be sure I understand. A great doctor!
Everything was great. Thank you.
Excellent patient experience with Dr. Anderson.
Very good Dr.
He was very informative about what was going to be done and what I would have to do after the surgery and how long I will be in a sling
I had lost all faith in doctors until I met Dr Anderson. He has a very pleasant personality. He explained my injury to me and the best possible treatment for me not a bunch of pills. I have recommended Dr. Anderson to family and friends.
Dr Anderson is the best doctor if all time. #1
*** Doctor Anderson, Recent, & like Talking to him.
Provider had an excellent understanding of my problem and was well versed in myMedical history.
Dr. Anderson is awesome, I really enjoyed his humorous bedside manner.
The intern who saw me before Dr Anderson, did a thorough exam then must have relayed her findings to Dr Anderson. When he came into the exam room, he asked about my symptoms, did brief exam then made diagnosis and offered suggestions and treament.
Dr Anderson has great bedside manner. He spends time with me, answers all my questions, is easy and pleasant to talk to. I always look forward to my appts with him.
Dr Anderson told what I found to be a rather inappropriate anecdote (concerning a large brassiere)in the exam room. Even the Fellow who was in the room looked uncomfortable.
I was seen for my *** and the provider suffers from the same condition so we got along quite well. This was not my first visit with him.
Dr. Anderson showed concern explained that really nothing could be done. I just have arthritis. He did suggest carpal tunnel surgery if I eventually wanted it.
Dr very professional, listened to my complaint, provided information about surgery option., he was very easy to talk to.
This provider was very professional and respectful on my health conditions.
Dr. Anderson made me feel comfortable in explaining my concerns and responded to my questions. I felt that he understood my hand pain. Most importantly, I feel I can trust him with my health care, and would highly recommend him to others.
Great Experience. Dr was super
Dr. Anderson administered a cortisone injection that was helpful and not painful at all. I also really appreciate how personable he is. It is always a pleasure to see him.
Everything was good.
Sensitive not rushed asked about lifestyle explained treatment options

University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
