Dr. Erik Anderson and his team are just great. They are very professional, highly skilled and caring. Dr. Anderson recently conducted cataract surgery for me on both eyes. Needless to say, I had a bit of anxiety, but he very patiently answered all of my questions and quickly put me at ease. And, the results are amazing,. As I told him, “you have changed my life.”
Dr. Anderson performed cataract surgery in November of 2024. His office and staff provided timely, friendly, professional care. Scheduling, insurance, prescriptions – they took care of everything and I always knew what was going on. My vision has improved so much. I can see better than I have in years. I highly recommend Dr. Anderson.
Dr. Anderson vastly improved my quality of life! It is so wonderful to open my eyes in the morning and be able to see clearly! At my first appointment, he took the time to explain the procedure to me and answer all of my questions. Surgery itself was a snap and his follow-up care was excellent. It is obvious that Dr. Anderson truly cares about his patients and their well-being.
I had a very pleasant experience with Dr Anderson and staff. My eyes have been bothering me for quite a while and Dr. Anderson had some great ideas on how to improve my dry eyes, which has been my biggest issue with the Colorado climate.
Laser cataract surgery has been quite successful. Dr Anderson seems very knowledgeable as does his office manager, Justin. One eye corrected so far with multifocal toric IOL, and vision is substantially improved. I definitely recommend Dr Anderson.
I was extremely pleased with both my cataract surgery and the service I received afterwards. I am seeing great and want to thank Dr. Anderson for his excellent patient care and follow-up concern after each surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Anderson!!
