MELISSA ANDERSON, MD REVIEWS

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Anderson! She took the time to explain my health situation and taught me how to understand the most important information in my lab results. She was easy to speak with, and I felt heard when explaining my understanding and/or position. I would HIGHLY recommend her....and believe me, I've fired my last two! Lol! I'm positive that l've found the right doctor who balances traditional and modern medicine when helping her clients.

Great doctor. Listens to what you say and answers any questions you may have. Goes over a treatment plan with you. Takes time to be sure you understand what you need to treat your medical condition.

As always, the experience was exceptional. Dr Anderson was thorough and informative. She answered all of my questions and provided alternatives. Excellent doctor. Never seems rushed.

JAMES BOLANDER II, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Bolander is a fantastic Dr.. He always takes time to answer any questions and explains things in a way that everyone can understand. He is very well informed and sincerely cares about his patients. Several years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer and because Dr. Bolander took the time to listen to me and because of his insistence that I have the proper testing.. They were able to remove my cancer in time before it got to the terminal stage. I am still here because of him. I am very lucky to have him for my Dr. and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank You Dr. Bolander. You're The Best!!! Penny Faucett.

Dr. Bolander is GREAT! I've been seeing him for a few years now and he's always very informative when asked different questions about labs and other stuff I may ask him.. He listens to me unlike a lot of doctors I'm seeing or have seen in the past. I would recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Bolander and his nurse were very kind. He took the time to explain everything and answer my questions! I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. Bolander!
