I went to Amy after a hospital visit and she was well aware of everything that had happened to me in the past and then. She cared. She took me as a client when I think she was kind of full and I owe her my life. So that's what I think about Amy Anderson.

Dr Anderson is the most caring and compassionate person I know. She takes her time , always listens and treats her patients as individuals not just numbers.
I really don't have anything to add for improving the situation. We have a very good provider patient relationship. I'm a nurse. Obviously, she's an endocrinologist and a doctor. So we converse in an educated way and I can understand everything that she talks about and she understands everything I tell her about my affliction, my diabetes. So it's a good match and I really appreciate and like all my South Coast doctors and continue to appreciate them all and especially Amy. She's the only doctor I've had for endocrinology for, good lord, about at least five years. So thank you.
You always do everything well. You're the best provider I've ever had.
