:) Click to report rating *  11/24/09 5 4 5 Dr. Anders is an amazing Dr....he took me in as a patient 2 years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter. He always took the time to listen to my concerns, and explained everything in terms I could understand. He was there when I was in labour and even called my house to make sure me and baby were doing good. I have NEVER had a problem getting in for appointments, and have never felt rushed. I am sooo greatful to have him as our family Dr!!! :)

:) Click to report rating    11/20/09 5 3 4 Doctor Anders quite literally brought me into this world and has been my Doc ever since. He can be a bit brash sometimes and I can understand how someone can take him negatively if they aren't capable of understanding where he is coming from. He uses a very common sense and no nonsense approach. I wouldn't say he's a Doctor that's going to hold your hand through every little thing but he is a terrific Doctor. Always helpful and consistent in his professionalism. I've never felt rushed or dismissed.

:) Click to report rating    10/17/08 5 4 5 Dr Anders has been my family doctor since I was a child. Now he the doctor for my family. He has been incredibly supportive of my wife and daughter who suffer from chronic health challenges. He has been there for us many times and is incredibly knowledgeable as a GP. Many of the nurses at RIH speak very highly of him and his bedisde manner. Yes sometimes he is late but what doctor isn't? And if you ask him you will find out he was deleivering a baby... not many GPs do that anymore.

:) Click to report rating    9/2/08 3 3 4 took myself my husband as patients when no one else in Kamloops was accepting new patients after our son was killed in a car accident. He is always there to listen to your needs and explains everything in great detail. Shows compassion and understanding and takes what ever time is needed, he may run late but that is because he doesn't run his patients out the door.

:(      7/31/08 1 1 1 I was disappointed again and again for years by this man. He came highly recommended, however he was dismissive and condescending. He misdiagnosed my eye infection calling it allergies even though I insisted that it was a contact lens gas permeability problem caused by improper fluid selection. He didn't like being told what it was so he disagreed with me! After talking with the lens company he re diagnosed me and would not admit his previous mistake! COULD HAVE LOST MY SIGHT! SUFFERED FOR MORE THAN A MONTH! He is arrogant and has poor listening skills. I had a digestive illness for many years and despite my clear description of symptoms Anders told me it was psychosomatic and tried to put me on brain meds! He also told me to meditate! DANGEROUS IDIOT! I self diagnosed though much research and found out I had a parasite! I treated myself and passed the parasite and the suffering ended. Thanks for causing me to doubt myself and prolong my suffering Anders. At least he is consistent!

:| Click to report rating    6/3/08 1 3 1 He is unable to relate to elderly people and issues with Alzeimers is prejudiced. Staff is along the same line. We have had much better help from the local walk-in clinic.

:) Click to report rating    4/15/08 5 3 5 I have been going to Ben Anders for over 20 and he is the best. Only complaint is he is always running late and that is because he doesn't rush his patients out the door after a few minutes. He sits and listens to you and is always knowledgeble.

:) Click to report rating    12/17/07 5 4 3 Dr. Anders has been my doctor for over 20 years. I am grateful to him for many, many things, but in the past few years I have noticed that he has become less humble and more arrogant. He now acts like a specialist on all matters, which is potentially dangerous, in my view. Sometimes I find it very frustrating to discuss non-straightforward matters with him.

:| Click to report rating    10/23/07 4 3 2 Dr. Ben is a good person, but didn't really spend the time with me to listen to what I had to say. I felt shrugged off a lot of the time. After much heartache, I finally left to get a second opinion, where I was finally diagnosed. I felt really like a 'flake' and that it was 'all in my head' before that, which can be very demeaning. I feel like Dr. Anders is excellent at treating standard medical conditions, but is dismissive of you if you aren't a straight forward case.

:) Click to report rating    4/10/07 1 3 I have recently left Dr. Anders with my two daughters as I find him not very understanding when it comes to woman problems. I don't go to the Dr. very often and when I go it is for something important and I don't feel the connection with him that I should.

:) Click to report rating    3/24/07 5 5 If he has available time he will see you without an appointment. My husband was on his way to the clinic when he stuck his head in Dr. Andres office after hours and was seen by Dr Anders. Very compasionate with our family when a member was dying of cancer. Took my family in as patients after another Dr had upset us and we were uncomfortable in seeing him again as patients. Dr Anders understood our feelings and has treated our family with respect. Our son is has a condition that requires his to be on medication for the rest of his life and Dr Anders is helpful in answering our questions and if he does not no the answers he tries to find them for us. Also when I was ill he would call to see how things were and even check on the rest of the family. He his a great Dr and we are lucky to have him in Kamloops.
