Larry Anderson, DO, MD

I’m generally pretty healthy. I have a sinus infection, on average, once a year. Other than that, the ortho evra patch made me gain about 60 pounds, and I’ve lost 50 since I got off of it. Over the last 6 months I have started having this stomach issue. I’m still unsure what triggers it. I thought it was foods high in fat, then I thought it was eating late, then I thought fried foods, then I thought eating out because it didn’t hurt during lent (and I gave up eating out) and now I think it’s if I have coffee two days in a row. I have these episodes for three hours in the evening or they wake me up at night and I am in super intense pain. On an earlier review I mentioned one doctor told me I was pregnant and referred me to an OBGYN. That doctor was fine, but thought it was my gall bladder and wanted me to have this super expensive test that tested the functioning of my gall bladder only… which I didn’t want to do because I didn’t think it was that. Anyway, I went to Dr. Anderson because I saw that he was listed as a DO. I just wanted someone to sincerely listen to my issue and make a recommendation. I didn’t mind going on a juice cleanse for a year. Whatever. I just wanted a recommendation before a doctor was like, «oh, nice to meet you, there is a baby in your belly», or, «how about we bill your insurance and you give me $ 600 and then we can chat». I called Dr. Anderson’s office and got a same day appointment which was really surprising to me since I was a new patient. I went in and the staff was very friendly and competent. Dr. Anderson and a med student listened to me and discussed potential issues. He made a dietary shift recommendation. I went back about 10 days later, because my issue had not changed. He continued to listen and discuss my issue and recommended that I see a specialist. I also thought that was a much better recommendation from what I had heard before. So, Dr. Anderson will now be my primary care doctor. I definitely recommend.
