  • The care provider was very knowledgeable and did previous research on our care and things such as like the blood values so that he had a good foundation of what he was dealing with when we walked in to the exam room.

  • Dr. Anderson is very thorough and well prepared for the office visit. He thoroughly checked blood values and things such as that and our history and was extremely thorough and took all the time that was required to answer any questions or concerns that were raised.

  • I'm totally satisfied with Dr. Anderson. His understanding of my situation and his way of dealing with me is absolutely excellent. I have nothing but praise.

  • He was very nice, explained things and I will follow through with his suggestions after he consults with my cardiologist to add another medication.

  • dr. Anderson was well prepared for my visit. He had reviewed my file in EPIC and was already familiar with my previous head, scans, blood tests, and prescribe medication's. He explained to me that I had an elevated risk of having another stroke, and what I needed to do in order to minimize that risk. Fortunately for me, this is Dr. Anderson's area of research, how lifestyle changes such as better diet, regular exercise, control of blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes, can reduce the chances of having a stroke.

  • Excellent

  • Dr. Anderson was extremely smart, kind, respectful, caring, listened incredibly well, applied his knowledge impeccably, and followed up appropriately and went out of his way to do so. He was able to accommodate testing same day and then follow up. So, yeah, and he's an extraordinary doctor. So I felt very grateful and it was worth a six-month wait.

  • Dr. Anderson is outstanding. He always listens to my concerns and is always up to date with my medical condition. He is truly a valuable asset to the Mass General Brigham network. I'm very blessed to have him as my physician.

  • Dr Anderson is brilliant, caring and meticulous to detail. I could not be happier or feel safer under his care.

  • Doctor Anderson is an excellent neurologist. I just suffered a mild heart attack. He listened. He addressed it and we are having another routine ultrasound done [redacted]. He's an excellent doctor. I'm glad I'm still going to him.

    2025-11-16

  • Dr. Anderson is thoughtful and he explains things clearly. Dr. Anderson is a perfect example of the younger generation of physicians who treat their patients like humans and not like a bag of symptoms. I always feel heard and respected by Dr. Anderson. I have such a high opinion of him that I have insisted on keeping him as my neurologist, even though my PCP moved to BILH and it would be bureaucratically simpler to have a neurologist in that system. Why switch when you've got the best?
