David G. Anderson Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

My first impression of Dr. Anderson was that he was very confident in his abitilites. My impression of him has not change he is very confident and very knowlegeable in what he does. The office staff is also the greatest Carla his nurse came and seen me several times per day while I was in there, she had went through this herself and had been an inspiration and help to me. Dr. Anderson also came by once in the morning and once in the evening checking on me. I can't think of anything that I would say negative about him or his staff. They have stated on more than one occasion that after surgery that is not the end but only the beginning of them watching and advising and seeing me through this for life. That is very reassurring to me to know that I have them on my side. Overall I would definetely rate Dr. Anderson high on everything from his knowledge of the surgery through his education of the risk of surgery to the after math I would tell anyone who is looking to have this done that they should definetely research him. My whole experience so far had been great I have no regrets and would do it all over again.

My surgery was on May 30th, 2007 with Dr. David G. Anderson. He is a wonderful surgeon, informative, good bedside manner, helpful, good follow-up, no complications, honest and compassionate. He unfortunately, has moved to Greenville, SC and I will miss him. Dr. Anderson is very competent, informative, addressed all risks of surgery as well as the lifestyle change the surgery will bring. There is an excellent aftercare program with a support group that meets every Wednesday. rnrnrnrn

Thorough and thoughtful, Dr Anderson is experienced and apparently well trained. He explained the surgical process and has a well organized pre-surgical program as well as a well structured aftercare program. Support group attendance is encouraged. He has on his staff a very experienced bariatric coordinator. What I look for in a health care provider is knowledge and caring and Dr. Anderson did demonstrate these qualities. I have had NO complications from my surgery (other than some mild fever immediatley post-op) and would highly recommend Dr. Anderson.

'Dr. Anderson is wonderful. He is very kind and explained everything to me in great detail. He has the prettiest eyes and smile. The staff are pretty nice

My first impression of Dr. Anderson was positive. He was very knowledgeable and articulate. He answered all my questions honestly and patiently. I feel he sincerely has my safety and health as top priority. The nutrition classes were very informative and aftercare program is very thorough. I would recommend this surgeon to anyone but please remember these are my own personal experiences and can not promise you will have the same experience.

My first impression of dr.anderson was that he is a very confident surgeon and knows his job very well; which that made me feel very comfortable with him at right off. His staff are all very helpful and they also know what to do. After my surgery he came and saw my twice a day which that usually doesnt happen. He lets you know everything up front and talks to you with care and understanding which is a wonderful bedside manner. I am so thankful that I was lead to him. He is truely a wonderful person and even a greater surgeon.

I fell in love with Dr.Anderson he is a wonderful surgeon.He did my surgery on May 2nd 2005. I can't begin to say how caring and concerned he was about me.He checked on me twice a day while i was in the hospital.I wouldnt have picked anyone else to do my surgery.He truly saved my life.

Absolutely wonderful surgeon who spends a lot of time with his patients. He takes the time to explain the good and the bad and listens with a caring ear and a warm heart.

The office staff is caring and sensitive and treats all patients as if they are the most important peole on earth, what a wonderful atmosphere.

One of the most important people that you will come in contact with is the Bariatric Coordinator for the office, Sue Rudnicki. She is such an important resource and is so helpful with supplement and vitamin decisions. She is a truly caring individual who will help you along on the most important journey of your life.

Aftercare and follow-up is stressed by this group. You have to be willing to follow a structured regime if you want the weight loss to be permanent and successful.

All risks were explained up front and his bedside manner is without question one of the most wonderful I have ever come across. He treats each patient as an individual, as if they are the most important person at that moment.

Surgical competence is again without question, technique is wonderful and I am so fortunate to have had his skilled hands. Thank you for assisting me in the journey to become the person I always knew I could be.

I did a lot of research before deciding on surgery and then choosing a sergeon. My first impression of Dr. Anderson was that he was a serious, no nonsense type of doctor. Over time, my impression of him has not changed. I was very impressed with him and his staff. They are always very pleasant and helpful, as well as supportive. Dr. Anderson is not very talkative, but he is a very good surgeon who takes his work very seriously and expects his patients to, also. Dr. Anderson and his partner, Dr. Balder, have a wonderful program that provides education and support both before and after surgery. The risks of the surgery are addressed several times - in the informational meeting, in the first meeting with your surgeon, and in the required education class that takes place before surgery. Overall, I would rate Advanced Surgical Associates with an A+++. I chose this group because of the surgical competence of the doctors and the total package of support both before and after surgery. Their staff is the best!

Great first impression. Talked to my husband right after surgery came to see me each day while in the hospital and showed lot of concerned about me. I am so glad he did my surgery and the scars are almost healed and it hasn't been two weeks yet. He is simply wonderful.
