Dr. Richard Anderson, MD

He missed a very serious medical condition in my son. He told us that we needed to have an x-ray done to definitively diagnose issues with my son's brain, even though he must know that x-rays don't show any soft-tissue problems. An x-ray would never have disclosed the issue with my son. He also is not a fan of parents who have educated themselves about their child's health issues. If we had listened to him and not sought another opinion, my son would very likely have died or ended up in a wheel chair. There is a much better neurosurgeon who resides close to this doctor who patients would be better served to visit rather than this doctor.

My 15 year old daughter was sent to Dr. Anderson due to an unexpected diagnosis of Chiari One Malformation. Dr. Anderson took his time to explain fully what this was and possible treatment options. He was not quick to suggest surgery and asked that we first explore all other possibilities of the sudden onset of symptoms before surgery would be considered. After meeting with many other specialty physicians, we decided to move forward with surgery to correct the Chiari. Dr. Anderson explained clearly the whole surgery including what would happen during her hospitalization and recovery. My daughter felt completely comfortable going into surgery and her results have exceeded all of our expectations. She now has full relief from all of her symptoms. Dr. Anderson is a skilled neurosurgeon who also has a great bedside manner.

Dr Anderson was absolutely amazing. He is extremely brilliant, has amazing bedside manners and makes you feel comfortable from diagnosis, treatment plan to post op. My husband and I were so thankful that our daughter was in his care.

Dr. Anderson's level of expertise and kind personality are unprecedented!! He saved our daughter 4 years ago by removing spinal tumor during 14 hour surgery and been closely monitoring her ever since. Dr. Anderson's talent makes the quickest recovery possible!

Dr. Anderson is an AMAZING doctor!! Working with children in healthcare is challenging and takes a special person to do it but working on children’s brains everyday and saving children’s lives takes an angel and that’s what Dr Anderson is for our family ?? He is our angel! If you are questioning who to use for a pediatric neurosurgeon - look no further ????????

Amazing doctor, amazing human being!

Dr. Anderson is our family’s angel. He performed emergency brain surgery on my 5 year old niece last week. Not only did he go above and beyond to help make my brother and sister-in-law completely comfortable with the entire procedure, he made sure my niece was too. He answered a page full of questions, and did so with a warm and caring demeanor. He obviously has to have intense conversations with parents that are on the brink of losing it, so he knows exactly how to ease their worries and anxiety and keep them in the know throughout the entire surgery. He spent 6 hours in the operating room and managed to remove the ENTIRE tumor. To say that our family is indebted to Dr. Anderson for life is an understatement. He will forever be thanked and prayed for every single night for the rest of all of our lives. We now know why all of our family physicians recommended him. If you are feeling apprehensive with your child’s surgery I know this is the doctor you will want operating on them.
