Dr anderson himself was very frank and straightforward, I really appreciated his no-BS attitude. He answered every question I had thoroughly in plain English and he didn't sugar-coat things. He's professional and had great bedside manner. His nurses are kind, caring and put me at ease during my IVF, which often had me feeling anxious and uncomfortable physically. Several times I had questions on my meds and called and was able to talk to a nurse immediately or get a callback with in 15 minutes. Also having 2 office locations is very convenient.

I usually don't post comments, but thought that I "owed" it to Dr. Anderson and his staff to share my positive experience. I had seen over three physicians in the course of a decade trying to become pregnant. All other attempts (by other physicians) were unsuccessful, until I started working with Dr. Anderson's office. Now, I am pregnant and absolutely thrilled beyond words. Thankfully, I had received two other positive recommendations from friends steering me to him. I appreciate the professionalism of his office and trust him and his staff. I would whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Anderson!

Dr. Anderson did not check on my file before conducting an IVF. Did not warn us about risks of doing an IVF with a faulty tube - we would have requested it would be removed before we paid to do an IVF. IVF resulted in an ectopic, and during exam - Dr. Anderson said "I don't think I put it there?". Upon exiting the room he then consulted my file and said "oh, that is right, you have weird tube". I then had to go into surgery to remove my left tube and the ectopic pregnancy. He stated he would help us out with the next IVF due to him "not knowing if he put it there" and when we went into consultation he denied the offer. Several friends have since met with him during consultations - I have asked them to ask about his ectopic pregnancy rate. Each time he has said he has never had one. When they say my name - each time he say "I don't remember her". Now why would you want to go to a doctor that isn't honest?

Dr Anderson was very unwelcoming. He seemed to believe that he was the expert and noone else could possibly be right (even though other experts don't always agree with him or each other). He was quite rude to us and we almost walked out of the appointment multiple times. We will find a different infertility specialist.

Dr. Anderson is a knowledgeable doctor. He is a partner of the infertility doctor we are currently with. I will agree with another poster that Dr. Anderson is more interested in what his best options are as opposed to what his patients want. He is very rigid in his approach and leaves no room for flexibility that might be important to his patients. We have a condition that may only render one birth attempt. Dr. Anderson was unwilling to concede that we might want to try for twins as opposed to just one child. There were no more health risks with one child than with twins. Furthermore, we "interviewed" 3 doctors and he was the ONLY doctor to not diagnose a particular condition and recommend tests to further explore it. This condition could be problematic down the line and cause miscarriage and additional ivf cycles.

Dr Anderson did was I paid him to: make me pregnant but in the process his approach was aggressive and often geared towards his own success rates rather than the well-being and comfort of his patient (me) He knows his stuff and he is a good doctor but he will push your fertility limits until you cant take it anymore

Dr. Anderson was very rude, cold and condescending. The staff was unprofessional. I had a "required" hysteroscopy in his office and his nurse didn't even know how to read fluid levels on the bottle to see how much he had used. He left the room with me still in stirrups and never returned to discuss anything! Will never go back!

Dr. Anderson and his staff are excellent at what they do. He monitors his patients very closely and I never had a problem making an appt or being seen on time. Currently they are growing my embryos so I cant tell you if my IVF was successful but I am confidant in saying that Dr Anderson is doing everything possible for me. I think my only frustration with this office is that his nurses were very quick and rushed in showing me how to do my injections. I think us common-folk who dont administer shots (ever) should be taught more slowly. Other than that, great office.

Dr. Anderson is a great doctor, and very professional. Dr. Anderson performed a laparocopy on me, and I received excellent care. Following the procedure, I did one cycle of fertility treatments, including IUI, and got pregnant. I have been seeing him for the first trimester, and I have absolutely no complaints. They monitor you very closely, with an ultrasound and blood draw every week. He is an excellent doctor, and the office is readily available for appointments, to answer questions, etc. They are open starting at 6:30 am, 7 days a week, including holidays.
