Dr Anderson has been phenomenal throughout this process. I really like him, I feel comfortable being around him and talking to him, he's easy to understand, he doesn't give beet around the bush type answers, he's extremely knowledgeable, he's good at reassuring worries (which is something I very much need at times).If totally recommend him to others and actually when signing a release at another practice I go to a few weeks prior to my surgery on the off chance he or my psychiatrist talked to each other regarding my medications etc prior to surgery, one of the other staff there at community health also was familiar with Dr Anderson and it was either one of her kids or a friend of hers or something, or a friend's kid had a surgery by him as well and when I was doing the releases with her/ the medical assistant she mentioned something like "what was his name? Dr Anderson? Oh he's good." So it sounds like other people are familiar with Dr Anderson too and he has a good reputation.
Very good.
Dr. Anderson is very thorough. We came up with a plan to follow-up every 4 months instead of every 6 months.
I have the greatest respect for Dr. Anderson.
Dr. Anderson is a great doctor who listens to his patients, researches to find answers for them, and shows that he is invested in his patient's wellbeing. He is one of the best doctors on my very large team of doctors and I really appreciate him. He is hands down one of the best doctors in the UVM system.
Dr Anderson is by far the best ENT we have ever seen.
Dr Anderson was amazing!! He truly showed caring for her during her preop and post op care. It truly felt like it was personalized care and not general or generic care. It's what I love about Porter and that small town hospital feel! We live closer to UVM in Burlington but chose Porter bc it's in the same network has her pediatrician out of middlebury but also because it's smaller and more personalized care.
Dr. Anderson explained the procedure he was to perform and made it as comfortable for me as possible. He described his findings and suggested several options for treatment in a very logical and thorough manner. He listened carefully to my description of symptoms and history with respect for my concerns. He let me decide the course of treatment I felt was best for me. I appreciated his plan for next steps if plan worked well or didn't work well.
Dr. Anderson was kind, thorough and knowledgeable. I enjoyed speaking to him. I am very glad my PA at UVMMC referred me to him.
I received a lot of information in a way that I could understand.
Made me feel very comfortable
There's not enough space here to write all the things I'd like to about Dr. Anderson, but just to name a few based off of my couple appts. w/him, I really Dr. Anderson, feel confident in his expertise, find he is VERY patient despite constant questions & interruptions by me, he is friendly, all in all I can tell he's a good doctor.
Explained my situation, which was very helpful
Dr. Anderson is great!
Excellent provider. Took the time to reassure me and fully explain my options. Worked with me to be sure I could get a procedure promptly.
Dr Anderson was able to identify the issue, explain it to me in terms I understood, and recommended solutions to the issue within a very short time. He gave me peace of mind and confidence that this issue could and would be resolved in a fairly short time frame. I am so very grateful!
Dr. Anderson is thorough, kind and just lovely to interact with! He explains everything so well.
Excellent in explaining all details.
Very good.
Doctor talked rather fast. A little hard to grasp all he said
