Patient Reviews
Dec 04, 2022
Dr. Andersen and his team are as good as it gets anywhere! I can’t even put in to words how impressed I was from start to finish in every aspect. He is unbelievably skilled and experienced, and his extremely calming disposition helped me stay calm and confident throughout the entire process of having my thyroid removed. Simply put, if you have a chance to have him help you, there’s nothing left to consider. Do it without hesitation!
