Dr. Anderson earned his medical degree from the University of South Alabama College of Medicine and completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of South Alabama Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program. He went on to complete fellowship training in sports medicine and shoulder surgery at the University of Missouri, where he gained extensive experience in joint preservation, minimally invasive procedures, and the treatment of athletic injuries. During his tenure at the University of Missouri, he was part of the sports coverage team of physicians, where he was actively involved in the medical treatment of athletic injuries for multiple collegiate and high school sports programs, including the Mizzou football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and softball teams. Dr. Anderson specializes in sports medicine and shoulder surgery, with a special interest in knee arthroscopy and open treatment of knee conditions, including ligamentous reconstruction, cartilage restoration, and joint preservation surgery; arthroscopic and open shoulder surgery, including rotator cuff repair, treatment of shoulder instability, and shoulder arthroplasty (replacement); as well as hip arthroscopy.
Dr. Anderson works closely with athletic trainers, physical therapists, and referring providers to ensure every patient receives personalized, coordinated care from diagnosis through recovery. His goal is to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve function so patients can stay active at every stage of life.
Outside of work, Dr. Anderson enjoys spending time with his family and activities that promote the active lifestyle he loves.

Dr Anderson was thorough, gentle and easy to talk with.
He is a very understanding physician. Very knowledgeable.
He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Explained what was going on and gave suggestions to the problem.
From the young lady that checked us in at the front desk and helped us make sure we were registered correctly it was welcoming. Dr Anderson was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything so well to myself & my 12 year old daughter. He took his time with her and was not rushed at all, THIS means so much!!! I would highly recommend Dr Anderson to anyone wanting a compassionate Doctor that has a genuinely kind and caring nature. We did have to wait a while, but it was so worth it. I’m sure Dr Anderson spends time with each patient addressing all of their concerns as well as he did with my daughter and that takes time. His nurse was wonderful as well as the 2 men that fitted my daughter for her brace and went over the steps of how to put it on. 5 stars
He explained what is wrong with my shoulder and shoulder blade where I can understand and took his time . It was nice to meet a doctor who took his time and not be in a hurry and I felt very easy to took too about my issues.
Dr Anderson was very personable and apologized for the wait. He was sumo and not condescending or patronizing like some physicians can be. He offered a couple of options of treatment and engaged me in the decision on a plan of care. I would use him again if the need arises or recommend him to any one asking for an orthopedic doctor.
He’s great! He took a lot of time with me, and I felt he truly cared about helping me.
