I had been to Dr. Anderson four years prior and after that visit said I never would go back. At that appointment she was more interested in telling me about a diet she had been on and went on and on about it instead of doing what I was there for which was for a toenail trim. My big toenails are veryv thick and tend to curve inward. She went too far onto the sides that she made both toenails bleed and it hurt.
This time she was better; however on my right big toe she hit what she said was a pocket under the nail and it would not stop bleeding. She tried everything, putting something on it with a qtip looking thing, then someylthing that resembled toothpaste, and finally wrapping it stating to keep the bandage on for the rest of the day and night. Shecwtapped my left foot big toe also, although I have no idea why. I have taken the wraps off and there is no bleeding this morning. She asked me to come back in 10 weeks and I made the appointment. If I have the samecresukt I will not return

Dr. Anderson is great!. She explains everything in a way that is easy to understand and takes her time with her patients. You don’t find that much anymore.
