Anthony Anderson

Dr. Anderson is awesome. He's very smart and improved my quality of life tremendously. His staff is super nice also.

I like Dr.Anderson, however, one must be prepared, I thought it was just me. I went to the dr. two years ago in Feb for painful sciatic, he gave me an epidural in back. It almost caused me to pass out, very intense pain. Lasted 18 months. I was there two weeks ago, as another condition in entire right and left leg developed. Now, he gave me a face block instead of epidural and I thought the epidural was painful. It did not work and I will not go back, pain still there. Ran into my pastor at the post office, he too had a horrific experience with a very painful injection with Dr. Andersen. Ended up finding out, the dr injured a nerve in his leg and proved by two other dr's. Again, I like dr Andersen, but be prepared for horrific intense pain...and I hope whatever he decided to do will help you. Had he given me the epidural, I bet I would be fine now. I have had epidurals before and wow...it was a breeze in comparison. Going for a recommended orthapedic now. I like Dr.Anderson, however, one must be prepared, I thought it was just me.

Very good to work with and addressed my issue with care and compassion. Would highly recommend Dr Anderson And Staff to anyone needing help with on going pain

Dr. Anderson gave me a shot for my sciatica pain & it relieved the pain. Dr. Anderson quickly diagnosed another painful condition I have been having for two years that a chiropractor misdiagnosed. I wish I would have met Dr. Anderson two years ago. Dr. Anderson & all of his staff were super nice & helpful to me.

Dr. Anderson was fantastic...he took his time and explained everything...I had been to a different Dr..he just gave me a shot and it didnt help at all...Dr Anderson used xray machine to locate and make sure he injected me in correct location....I felt so much better....and yes his goal is to get me off all pain meds....which I believe should be everyone's goal..to live a pain free life without having to put meds in our body constantly....he is an amazing, caring dr....

We have gone to him many years, my husband has had two spinal fusions (not by Dr Anderson) and many procedures including a stimulator. He would have no quality of life without Dr Anderson. Betsyin the Adobe is awesome to deal with

He is absolutely the best pain management Dr. in the Festus, MO area.

Wasn't listening to what I was telling him. Seemed he had his mind made up that I was just looking for pain medication. Was out in the waiting room 50 min. past my appointment and then was rushed, of course, because he had 3 other people after me that had been waiting. Everyone else was terrific though. And as I suspected, by his initial attitude, he would not prescribe any pain medication. I have already been taking something for the severe pain I have but my Dr. retired, leaving me to find a new one. He wants to cut off all my medication and for me to do physical therapy. He obviously doesn't understand or empathize with pain sufferers. Wasn't listening to what I was telling him. Seemed he had his mind made up that I was just looking for pain medication.

Dr.Anderson has gone above and beyond with my elderly mother for her pain management. His bedside manner should be an example for all Doctors. Would highly recommend him.

I have to say I respectfully and completely disagree with Ms. Kimbrell's opinion on Dr. Anderson. I think he completely understands pain and sympathizes with all sufferers. I called Dr. Anthony Anderson's office to make an appointment as a new patient for my 86 year old grandmother and spoke to his receptionist, Betsy, on Monday. She was able to work my grandmother in on Wednesday of the same week. Her kindness and respect eminated through the phone and she was even sweeter in person. I took my grandmother to see Dr. Anderson last week (3/2016) after years of severe pain, now increasing as arthritis also sets in. She has been on pain meds and completed PT, but was still hurting. Like almost all doctors, they run slightly behind, but we waited only 10 minutes after completing our paperwork before we were taken into an exam room. While we were waiting to be seen, it was apparent that the previous patient had stopped Dr. Anderson before he came into our room. She had a few more questions and was explaining her pain and its history in greater detail. (Along with stories of her pets and family :D) Dr. Anderson spoke with her and further explained different options and treatments. He did not rush her, even though her appointment was finished and we were waiting. He was sympathetic as well as empathetic with her. When she was finished you could hear the appreciation for his extra time in her voice. When Dr. Anderson entered the exam room he was warm and kind. He listened to my grandmother explain her pain and where and when it started. He was patient and attentive while she went on and on about her dogs and her love for being outside and her gardening. (You gotta love the 86 year old ladies who love to go on and on about their pets and their plants!) He did a physical exam on her checking her range of motion in her hips, back and overall body. He asked what she would like to see change in terms of her pain, what expectations she had, and then explained different treatment options and potential outcomes. He offered no guarantees but was optimistic of a successful outcome. My grandmother decided to do a form of injections in her joints and back. I don't recall the specific procedure he wanted to start with, I want to say it was pain medicine injected into her sacroiliac joint or an SNRB (selective nerve root block). I was prepared to schedule another appointment for the procedure but was happily surprised when he told her they would perform the procedure while we were there that day. I share these details because I'm fairly certain that making sure my grandmother went home feeling better that day was something that was important to him and it was definitely important to us. Other patients might have had to wait a few more minutes but I was grateful that he took the time to help her. Sometimes we have to wait a little longer to be seen when we go to see a specialist, but knowing they will take the time with us when it's our turn speaks to their dedication and devotion to their patients. By 10:30 that evening my grandmother was a whole new woman! It will be a week tomorrow and she's still feeling fantastic. The office contacted us that evening to check on her status and the next day as well. We have a follow up appointment for tomorrow. Overall, I am MORE than pleased with Dr. Anderson and his staff. My grandmother means the world to me and I feel as though I have high expectations when it comes to her healthcare and the doctors we allow to treat her. Dr. Anderson surpassed all my expectations and more. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Anderson without hesitation or reservation! Thank you to the pain management staff for your amazing work and for bringing my fun, energetic and outgoing grandmother back to me! A+++++ Forever grateful, Megan Kinealy I have to say I respectfully and completely disagree with Ms. Kimbrell's opinion on Dr. Anderson. I think he completely understands pain and sympathizes with all sufferers. … More
