May 24, 2022
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit. Andersen is friendly, compassionate, thorough, efficient. Most recent visit was because I've been overwhelmed with medical issues and needed grounding and second opinions for big decisions pending. She also reviewed pending lab orders and sent a request for additional blood tests. With an HMO, specialists take over and connecting with my PCP has to be intentional. If I didn't like her, it would be a bother because specialists call me directly for follow up and annual exam appointments and then I have to call you or bother PCP to be sure the referral is still good. :-(
May 24, 2022
