Keith V. Anderson, MD
Board Certified Orthopedist

“Treat others the way you would like to be treated.”

“...or, the way you would like to have your mother, spouse, or child treated. This is as good a rule for orthopedic care as it is for life. Since I would seek the best orthopedic care for myself, I’ve always been driven to know how to provide the best possible care for others. That meant doing well in school, and today it means assuring that each patient fully understands their treatment and receives the best care available. It also means taking into consideration each patient’s entire welfare including how their orthopedic condition relates to their employment and activities. I feel that patient education promotes health and I try to provide helpful information with each patient encounter.”
