I have a history of pain medication abuse & let Dr Anderson know that when I started seeing him. From the time I began seeing him till I was terminated as a patient of his I did and still do recommend him as an excellent pain management doctor. I would have given him 5 stars if he and his staff would have not treated me as if I was a lying, cheating, lowlife because of my inability to give a urine sample for analysis. I have a documented condition which renders me almost completely unable to urinate when asked to provide some for analysis. He and or his staff could have confirmed my condition with more than one physician. But he refused. I informed them that one of my dr's required me to provide a UA every time I was seen by him. That Dr. allowed me to stay in the office and continue to drink water until my body could not hold anymore (sometimes up to 5hrs). He didn't allow me to stay more than 30min. I asked him to send me to the hosp. to get a cath. and the answer was no. continued..

My husband and I are new in the Sherman area so new seeing Dr. Anderson. We both see Dr. A for our back and neck pain. He is extrememely knowledgable in his field and when talking to me he is good at expressing it in a level I can understand. He is personable, and has a great sense of humor, which is so important to me. Dr. A listens and takes his time answering my questions. He is upfront about what type of treatment he has planned for me, makes sure I understand what he has told me and that he has answered all of my questions. He also is firm about what he expects from me as a patient. He makes it clear that he does have expectations and rules/policies I must adhere to to remain his patient. None of these expectations are unreasonable and they make sense, especially considering the practice of pain management. I recomend Dr. Anderson too many people and I hope they are as pleased as I have been.
