Pearland, TX | Jun 02, 2017
He was the best doctor I've ever been to. He came in and was so personable, calm, and made my daughter right at ease. He really evaluated her- he wasn't rushed- and came to a conclusion that made sense for her situation and not just the typical "she'll grow out of it" we've gotten from other doctors.
I can't say enough good things about him.

Dr. Anderson is amazing! Honest and straight forward. If he believes he can help you, he will state that. He has done two arthroscopic surgeries for me and I can not be more pleased with the results. *fingers crossed* If I should ever need any surgeries in his areas of expertise, Dr. Anderson will definitely be my first choice!

Five stars isn't nearly enough!! Dr. Anderson gave my 17 year old her life back! My daughter had suffered several years with hip pain and no help until we were referred to Dr. Anderson. He is wonderful with teens, he speaks their language and doesn't sugar coat the issue or the time frame it will take to correct the issue. He has a wonderful bedside manner for us parents as well! I can not say enough about how grateful we are for his work with my daughter and her hip issues.

Easily the best doctor I have seen in my career. Please note, I have had ten surgeries, so when I say this I have some experience behind that determination. From the first appointment, he made it clear that he had my best interest in mind. He took the time to explain the injury, the surgery and the potential benefits/ramifications. He did the same day of/post-operation as well. I would wholeheartedly recommend this doctor to my family and friends.

Dr. Anderson has ben more than accommodating and has listened to every thing I have had to say regarding my hip pain. I had an encounter with another surgeon who, I felt like, essentially blew me off by telling me they could not explain my hip pain and I should see another surgeon for peace of mind. Dr. Anderson listened to me, reviewed my MRI and X-rays, and was able to determine that there was some king of pathology causing pain in my hip and he treated it as soon as possible.

Dr. Anderson completely repaired my right hip to include re-shaping the femur head; enabling the hip&joint to begin functioning properly after over a decade of disfunction.
Every aspect of my interaction with Dr. Anderson has been phenomenal. He is the absolute best doctor I have encountered and I fully recommend seeing Dr. Anderson if your ailments fall within his area of expertise.
