It is with great disappointment that we write this review about Dr. Anderson, who we sought for our son's therapy needs. We strongly caution against seeking care from this physician, as our experience revealed a disturbing lack of concern for his patients.

Our son has autism and was approved for only 9 hours of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. We requested additional hours as our son began hitting himself and engaging in self-harm behaviors, but Dr. Anderson callously rejected our request. It was clear that he cared more about his own interests, including his moonlighting work with insurance companies, than about the wellbeing of our child and our family.

Dr. Anderson 's rejection of additional therapy for our son resulted in months of appeals, during which our son continued to suffer. We were fortunate that the state of New York intervened and forced insurance to provide the additional hours, but the lost time was critical to our son's progress.

We cannot overstate how terrible our experience with Dr. Anderson was. His lack of concern for our son and our family is simply unacceptable. We urge others to avoid seeking care from him, and to look for physicians who prioritize the needs of their patients above their own interests.
