His staff is very caring knowledgeable and professional. This Doctor knows what he’s talking about he’s not about the money he’s about the patient. If I ever moved out of Michigan and needed this Doctor for surgery I would fly back to Michigan. No other Doctor can touch my shoulders. I am TEAMANDERSON !!!!

I want to thank Dr Anderson and staff for doing such an exceptional job taking care of me. I had rotator cuff surgery Dr.Anderson did a great job with repairing my shoulder. Dr. Laura has done a great job with explaining how my recovery is coming along. The staff had been very professional.

Thank you so much for taking care of me.

Fantastic office staff. Medical staff is excellent. Dr Anderson spends time with patients and makes sure all questions are answered. I’m recovering from rotator cuff surgery. Dr Anderson explained everything post surgery to my husband and made me feel very comfortable pre-surgery. Highly Highly recommend.
