Very kind and courteous and listens to my needs about my care! Any questions I have about my menopause and other issues are answered. He never rushes and handles his patients and staff with respect and tenderness! read more

I loved this office and dr. I'm so pleased with the care they provided for me. The ladies were so caring, kind, and helpful. Dr Anderson was always so attentive whenever I was having an issue while I was pregnant and receiving care from him. read more

Appointments are very rushed. The lobby is always jam packed and very busy, wait times could be long. The doctor's ultrasound machine is extremely outdated and has no sound but he will occasionally use a doppler to check the babies heartbeat but not everytime. I never received an anatomy scan (checks for deformities and organs in baby) until I was transferred out for my high risk pregnancy. The medicine he prescribed me was too high of a dose from what I was told and when they put me on another medication to regulate my blood pressure, the migraine headaches went away. I wish I was transferred sooner, it was a blessing in disguise. read more

I went for a pap smear and I'm old I am 65 I didn't even feel a thing that's the first time it actually hasn't hurt very nice gone in on time in and out love it read more

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. They charge you to reschedule but the doctor can cancel your appt 30 min before the appt time because he called out sick. His secretary lady told me he was sick since the Friday before why wasn't I called then? If my appointment was first thing in the morning on Monday. Super unprofessional and by the time I was asking him questions he's already halfway out the door. When I came for my appointment the following Thursday from the rescheduled Monday appt every one else was called in before me even if they showed up after I did and the lady told me that everyone has been scheduled today from Monday. If you don't like caring for women maybe you should look into a different field especially when you think it's funny to talk down on other women that gained extra weight during their pregnancy. Ppl already feel sucky because of the weight gain no need to make jokes about others when you already told me I gained too much weight. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Andersen for years and he has been amazing with every visit! He's kind, patient, gentle, respectful and will explain everything to you detail. A few years ago I got fibroids removed and he did a marvelous job with the surgery my scar is minimal and small, which I was very happy about. I feel 100% better than before!! The ladies working the front desk are so kind and sweet. If you are looking for a new OB Dr. Andersen is the best!! read more

I really like Dr.Anderson! He is really down to earth and listens to you. Front desk staff is so nice too. read more

Michael Andersen, MD, FACOG - Lobby - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Murrieta, California

See all

I highly recommend finding another doctor. Not once during my pregnancy were any of my issues i was having were addressed. I had to wait over an hour most appointments & when i was seen it was a rushed few minutes. The office staff was great but Dr. Anderson needs to work on his bedside manner. read more

I have been going to Anderson's office for 11 years and have no complaints. The office gals are friendly and location is great. Dr delivered both my kids with no problems and all office visits were smooth. I tend to make sure to do morning appointments in case they get backed up due to "deliveries" per se. No complaints here and highly recommend. read more

Do not have this man as your doctor. The office staff however are wonderful and kind. But He is impatient and addresses no concerns. Awful bedside manner as well as he ignored my high blood pressure in the last weeks of my pregnancy which led to preeclampsia and having to have an emergency c section with my daughter. He has a reputation with the hospital as being a bully and rushing labors as well! You say he's your doctor and they almost look at you with pity so definitely go somewhere else. read more

He's a great doctor with years of experience. I have had nothing but good results after my C-Sections. I am on my third pregnancy and am back in his care! Would highly recommend. Only downfall is the office is often busy and the appointment wait can sometimes be long. Office women are very nice! read more

I've always liked Dr Andersen and have been going to him for YEARS. I've been trying to get seen for my yearly appt over the last few months and had been rescheduled twice. Today was my 3rd attempt to get seen and I had to leave after waiting an hour and nobody ahead of me had been called back yet. I'm bummed but can't keep taking time off of work to spend an excessive amount of time waiting just to be rescheduled or seen much later than my appointment time. read more

The office staff is terrible and unprofessional. I came here on a referral to have a tubal. I am not a regular patient and am glad I won't need to come back. I went to the hospital today for my pre-op appointment and even the admitting nurse said she couldn't stand his office staff and that they are incompetent. Go elsewhere. This is a mess and unorganized. In fact, I am here right now and all 3 receptionist are just laughing and being really unprofessional. A patient called for directions and after the receptionist hung up she started making fun of the patient because she was lost. My appointment was at 2 pm and the doctor shows up an hour late. No respect for the patients time. I am writing an update because my experience here has gotten even worse. On Friday I go get my labs done, they send me to the wrong lab and I made an appointment on my lunch break. Today 1/21/2020 I received a call from Dr. Anderson's office stating if I do not come in today I cannot have my tubal. I had my pre-op last week on Wednesday and no paperwork was ever given to me, just the incorrect lab slip. Mind you, I have taken 3 days off work, arranged for child care for those 3 days and they are telling me I need to sign a consent to have my surgery done, that is scheduled for tomorrow! His staff does not care. I have had a hard time dealing with them from my referral, follow up appointments and now this. It has all caused unnecessary stress. Unfortunately it will never be corrected, if you read through the reviews I am not the first one to have such an awful experience here. Find a new doctor, even if you like him it is not worth dealing with them. read more

No! Absolutely not. This office is outdated, and this doctor is awkward. Additionally, it took a month to get an appointment, and once I got in, he did practically nothing. I think that maybe his office is primarily used to dealing with uneducated people who don't ask questions or read, and that's fine, but I do not fall into that category. I came to him at roughly 22 weeks. I transferred OBs practically halfway through my pregnancy due to relocation. I was thankful that he took me, but not impressed with his demeanor or his less-than-thorough exam. I brought copies of EVERYTHING I had from my previous OB. He looked at none of it. He also didn't even try to tell me the sex (despite me already knowing) and was just like, "Oh, we'll send you out for a scan." Cute. What was most alarming, though, was the fact that I transferred in and he spent less than five minutes with me, and didn't do a pelvic to make sure everything was as it should be. He didn't inquire about paps or anything. I'm glad I got out of there. He was terrible, and I wouldn't recommend. read more

I really used to like this doctor.... However it seems like after he moved into this new office he became a total asshole... He delivered my son via cesarean without having any complications but that was 7 years ago.... I recently had a positive pregnancy test and given the circumstances that I am older and that I'm considered a high risk pregnancy I called Dr Anderson right away they didn't want to give me an appointment until I was at least 8 weeks pregnant.... I told him I had an autoimmune disease, sjogren's which I'm taking medication for my rheumatoriologist told me I had to continue taking this medication or the baby's heart won't develop.... When I told this to the receptionist at Dr Anderson they told me "Dr Anderson would like you not to take any of your medication"..... 3 days before my appointment I started bleeding with heavy cramping.... When I went to the office I told them I think I'm having a miscarriage, instead of trying to see me right away I waited for about 45 minutes after my appointment time and then they called me, Dr Anderson did some little ultrasound told me I don't see anything I think the baby didn't develop. And you're just passing the sack..... When I asked him well you made me stop taking that medication, he said well you are older and the wrists of miscarriage is higher.... He wants me to do more blood test and continue seeing him but honestly I'm not going to ever go to that office again.. He can kiss my ass...... read more

Ladies please take the time to read: This man should not be in women's health. I came to his office to establish care with my triplet pregnancy. I had previous ultrasounds at two other locations. I knew exactly how far along I was going into this appointment (we had been trying to conceive for two years and in doing so I learned a lot about my body and cycle). When we were finally seen (over and hour after the appointment time, which happened at every appointment) we learned we had lost all 3 triplets. He wound not directly tell us we miscarried. I had to ask him several times to be straightforward. He wanted us to check again in a week (this was reasonable since this was our first time seeing him), but because of our previous ultrasounds we knew our triplets were gone. I explained to him my knowledge of my cycle when he questioned my due date and his response was "it's easier when patients are less aware of their cycles, because then they can have hope." My husband and I were so confused when he said that. We had a lot of questions that he didn't want to answer and rushed us out of our appointment. That was the first red flag. He continued to schedule me once a week for five consecutive weeks to see when I would miscarry. From my second appointment, and then every appointment following, I asked about having a D&C or taking the pill because my body didn't realize I should no longer be pregnant. He refused to give me balanced information of my options. He told me it's best to go through it naturally. He wouldn't listen to my pleads to not make me miscarry at home. He wouldn't listen to my contraindications of my history with PTSD. I didn't want the trauma of miscarrying my babies to be associated with were I live. I wanted the D&C and he ignored my wishes for weeks. By the 5th week of seeing him, he finally scheduled the D&C for the following week, after finding that my gestational sac was continuing to grow. I lost my triplets around 7 weeks gestation, and he forced me to carry them until 13 weeks. At every appointment I expressed my fears, and he would dismiss them by say a miscarriage feels like "really bad menstrual cramps" and "two cycles worth of bleeding in a couple days". Well the day before my D&C was scheduled I went into labor. 10/10 pain contractions and I was admitted into the hospital. I was there for 32 hours and in that time I delivered the entire gestational sac without the assistance of the hospital staff and my husband had to physically catch it. We thought it was over. I still had my D&C scheduled, but the nurse wasn't sure if I still needed it. They tried to get a hold of Anderson for hours to get an answer on whether I still needed the surgery. 30 minutes before my surgery appointment he confirms I still need the D&C. He finally comes into my room, takes one look at the gestational sac left on my beside table and says "see, I told you that you could have done this at home." He was not present for the trauma that me and my husband had just experienced, and managed to invalidate all of it. He said this right before I was wheeled into surgery. It made absolutely no sense and should never be said to a patient. At my follow up appointment, I decided to address my concerns with his care. I told him that I wanted something positive to come from this horrific experience, and that I believed he could help me with that by having a honest and vulnerable dialogue. I told him how I had several doctors and nurses validate that my body had gone into labor due to the amount of tissue I had to pass. That they could see the contractions as my body tried to pass the entire sac. His exact response was "if you think that was painful, come talk to me after you actually have a live baby." And he laughed. He laughed. Even after that I tried to have a productive conversation, hiding my anger, in hopes to get a better outcome for his future patients. I was very open and vulnerable with my experience while sharing with him and he told me "well now it's obvious that you are the type of person who cant handle miscarrying at home." He also said "your the type of person who should ask for and epidural right away, because you clearly can't handle labor pain." He is supposed to be our advocate. He is supposed to provide us with balanced information about our health care options. He has failed. I really wanted to give him an opportunity to learn from my experience so that he understood the impact of his inappropriate behavior, and he shut it down. I'm sure with uncomplicated pregnancies, he can provide adequate care, but no pregnancy is promised to have a positive outcome. His attitude towards women is going to cause so much harm. If you are reading this and have shared a similar experience, I am so sorry. We deserved better and my only hope is that by sharing my experience, I can help prevent more harm and trauma. read more

Worst experience of my life. The staff are very unprofessional and rude, everything was so rushed and everytime I would try to talk I would get cut off. The place was always packed and he was always late. I have HG and he was obsessed with my weight I gained 14 pounds up until 7 months and he said I cannot gain anymore weight and needed to go on a diet! He was prescribing me zofran and when I went to get another script refilled he denied it! No one should ever treat a pregnant woman the way I was treated. BEWARE! read more

I had Dr. Anderson for a couple years and I have nothing nice to say about him. The staff however are very sweet. First off I had many Pap smears done and they all came back abnormal so I would get biopsies and they wouldn't find anything. I explained to the doctor that I was trying to have kids but my periods are all over the place so it was hard to time it. In front of my fiancé and I, he kept saying stuff about teenagers and how easy they can get pregnant which made us uncomfortable. I also stated that I want to get tested for PCOS because of my abnormal periods and chin hair. He totally ignored my concerns and stated that women with PCOS only have their periods once a year, WHICH IS NOT TRUE! I then decided to switch obgyn because my concerns were repeatedly ignored and the dude was always arrogant. Now that I'm at my new obgyn I finally got all of the answers I was looking for and do in fact have PCOS. Please don't go here unless you want to feel ashamed. I have never walked out of a doctors office feeling as unsatisfied as I did here. I would not recommend him to anyone! read more

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this establishment to all Women. I had such A difficult time finding a Docter who would take me as a surrogate patient and I'm so glad I found this practice. At first I was attending Temecula OBGYN, but was extremely disappointed with the overall experience there. When I transferred to Dr.Andersen's office I wasn't expecting much, but I received such great service. To start off with the front desk staff is extremely welcoming and genuinely kind. Dr. Andersen himself was also very helpful, nice and made me feel extremely comfortable. I believe he has interns currently working there, and both young girl were also very friendly and pleasant to be around. I can't say enough great things about this office. Im so happy to final have stress-free appointments. I am so thankful! read more

Kinda confused on the other reviews but I've had nothing but good experiences with Dr Andersen. I'm currently almost 16 weeks pregnant and seen him since I was 7.5 weeks. Super nice and very reassuring, I didn't have a great birthing experience with my first and so far he has been very reassuring of everything and of all my worries. I'll keep this post updated as I go through my pregnancy. But so far I haven't had any issues and I've only waited anywhere between 15-30 mins which isn't bad to what I was use to at my old OB with my first. read more

Dr Andersen seems okay although rushed through my biopsy, but his staff is horrible. After my initial pap smear they never called I had to call after three weeks and got days of run around to find out I needed a biopsy...now I've done the biopsy and again I'm calling for days to get my results and this point I still don't have them hence why I am writing this review. After lunch I am going to sit in the lobby until I get my results and will never see this doctor again!!!!! read more

Worse place ever .. who will spend hours to get seen.. This Dr. is always too busy.. and when its time to see his appointment patients in his office.. its insane. I went today and he was running 1 hour behind.. and there was about 6 other patients before me.. that was at 2.30 do the math of what time of would have been seen.. if I would have stayed.. but lack of communication of the woman in the front desk they didn't say that the Dr. wasn't even on the office because he was at some hospital with a birth mom that was dialating.. but i was not informed of all of this after 30 mins later.. I should have been told as soon as i signed in to decide if I wanted to stay or leave.. I wasted over 30mins just sitting there with 6 other people.. also waiting to get seen which was wasted time for.. like people don't have other things to take care. It was pretty ridiculous/insane to say the least.. Will never go back. office lobby in tiny.. service lacks in seeing patients in a decent amount of time.. Look for another Dr don't waste your time.. go else were this place is a circus.. read more

Yelp really needs to get with it so I can give this doctor NO stars. Eager to find a new doctor in town I chose this one of a few reviews I read. I went in for a constult and he seemed to be very attentive which I knew I would need in this pregnancy and made me feel very welcomed and cared for. Things took a major turn somewhere around 13-14 weeks into my pregnancy, I just always felt like something was wrong. Dr. Anderson always assured me everything seemed normal and everything I was experiencing was "normal" his exact words. Around 17 weeks I was peeing very small amounts 100's of times a day, it became very painful and exhausting. I would cramp, feel achy all over and again, always assured everything was fine. I remember the last appointment being around 20 weeks, crying in his office begging him to help me. The pressure I'm my belly was awful, the urine output per bathroom trip was enough to seriously be worried, but then again this doctor wasn't concerned, never even running a simple urine test just to be sure. I will never forget begging him to help me with tears in my eyes while he said "this is completely normal and every woman experiences this during pregnancy." The nurse in the room felt so bad she handed me a box of tissue. 23 weeks, I woke to my water breaking where it was later confirmed I had a serious medical emergency. I requested a transfer out of his care to a doctor is San Diego. I was forced to deliver my 23 week old daughter because of a massive uterus infection and was going into septic shock, all of these things I begged help with Dr. Anderson told me was "normal" he never listened to me, he never cared for me. I lost my sweet girl on June 4, 2014. Please if you read this, find a different doctor. read more

The worst medical experience I ever had with my sweet baby boy. Don't be fooled by his good looks and easy bedside manner This dr abandoned me after 15 hrs of natural labor- doesn't excuse himself, have a strange dr I never met deliver my son with a rough emergency c section & my sons lung collapsed at birth. I had a stitch that wouldn't close after the emergency csection too that was awful. Then our sick baby that was transported to San Diego and we were separated and he was in nicu- it was a nightmare!!!!! Went to the appointment in tears, barely walking, beat up exhausted- emotionally and physically, not healing- he said oh don't worry I stitched you up real good- I'm like- you didn't even perform the surgery?! Lived a nightmare choosing this man Hopefully it was an isolated incident read more

Please do not go to this Doctor. My daughterdelivered her baby at Rancho Springs Hospital on June 28, 2016. She saw Dr. Anderson in his office on the morning of June 28, 2016 where she measured 4 cm. Dr. Anderson scheduled an induction for July 6th, but she went into labor about an hour after the appointment. We went to the hospital at 12:30 pm, where she was seen by the Doctor on call, measuring 5 cm. and having contractions every 4 to 5 minutes. She was admitted and her labor was progressing. She made it clear to her nurse and Dr. Anderson that she wanted an epidural, as she has a low tolerance for pain. At 5pm, the nurse told us that it would be more than an hour before she could get an epidural, as all the anesthesiologists were busy. Dr. Anderson came in at 5:30 and she measured 6 cm. He wanted to break her water, but she told him that once her water is broken, her labor goes extremely fast as it did with her first pregnancy and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to get her epidural in tool to break her water anyway. She and her sister time. After hearing this, he proceded to insert the both told him to stop. He then became irate and told her she was lucky that he let her stay in the hospital and that she wasn't even in labor. He yelled that he was going to send her home and make her wait until her induction on July 6th. He told her she should be thanking him for admitting her and asked her if she wanted a baby today or did she want to go home and wait? Her sister and I were so taken aback by his words and demeanor it was shocking. We explained again to him that she wanted to get her epidural before her water was broken and he walked out the door mumbling that she was a drama queen. About an hour later she got her epidural, and as we predicted her labor went fast. There was some concern about the baby being in distress so they called in Dr. Anderson to possibly do a c-section. Dr. Anderson checked her she was at 8 cm. and decided it was time for her to start pushing. Without her knowledge or permission, Dr. Anderson turned off the epidural before she started pushing. We didn't realize this until later when her nurse went to turn it off after delivery and noticed that it was already off. Lindsey was in extreme pain and pushed for a long time. During the time she was pushing he repeatedly told her to "quit the drama". Her sister was assisting with holding her legs during the pushing and Dr. Anderson frequently yelled at her for not holding them high enough, back far enough, etc. When the baby was born, her sister wanted to cut the cord but Dr. Anderson said, "oops, too late I already cut it". He didn't even ask if her husband or sister wanted to cut the cord. After the baby was born, she was crying while he was stitching her up because she could feel every stitch and was afraid to say anything due to his previous outbursts. She was in extreme pain after delivery and the nurses had to call him 3 times before he would prescribe pain meds for her. She asked for pain meds when she was discharged as her vagina tore during delivery and she was in a lot of pain. He said no. I would also like to add that when Lindsey saw Dr. Anderson early in her pregnancy, he told her to stop taking her asthma preventative inhaler because it was bad for the baby. She stopped taking it and as result had a terrible time with her asthma throughout her pregnancy. Three months ago her asthma got so severe she had to be intubated at Rancho Springs and then flown to UCSD where she remained intubated for 9 days when she was just 24 weeks pregnant. She and the baby almost died as a result of his incompetence. Every other Doctor we talked to said that her preventative inhaler would have kept her out of the hospital and would cause no harm to the baby. Dr. Anderson keeps didn't take her medication properly I guess he has telling Lindsey that it was her fault because she either forgotten that he told her to stop taking it or he is trying to put the blame back on her to save himself. The birthing experience is supposed to be a joyous all of us. I am shocked and extremely disappointed occasion and Dr. Anderson made it a nightmare for at the incompetence and unprofessional, rude behavior exhibited by Dr. Anderson. read more

Well where to start. In the beginning I thought I liked Dr Anderdon, he has an odd personality, jokes a Bit, and his staff was pretty nice... As time went on he was less attentive a little more rude, and his answer to everything was "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENDS WHEN U HAVE YOUR 3RD KID AT 38!" as if I was doing something wrong. But I still tried to stick it out. Now I'm coming to the end of my pregnancy and have been in labor and delivery a few times with contractions, bleeding etc and I'm already a "scheduled c section" so I show up to L&D and the doc on wants to take baby now at 38 weeks, tells me to call dad and family! babys coming now! Then anderson steps in and says nope! Not till I'm dialated!?!? IM A C-SECTION?? So i go home, bleed HEAVY for a week, cant sleep, and contraction about every 8min... IM A C-SECTION?? Lol Now on Friday the Aug. 19th, I see him, he checks me, and just has crap to talk "bet ur not signing up for this baby thing again" tell me "your contractions can't be that bad if you sitting here in my office" and tells me to go do my pre opp... At the pre opp I'm contracting so bad and crying so much, and now add this ass will be cutting my child out of me in 3days..... I about lost it and the pre opp nurse walked me up to Labor and delivery, checkef me in, where I was checked again, now I'm super thin a dialated in less then an hour???? & IM A C-SECTION?? So I have to fire my doc who's going away for the weekend anyways, and they set the csection asap... so quick dad almost didnt make it, now i have the most amazing son (3rd child) so I would really think twice before choosing Dr Anderson. He's definitely not for everyone and you need to plan around him... read more

I just moved here from San Diego and in desperate need to transfer doctors. I have been seeing one regularly in Chula Vista, but would rather not drive down there when I go into labor. Dr. Anderson was highly recommended to me from medical professionals and friends. When I called, I was denied care because I was not "early enough " in my pregnancy. I begged and asked if having my chart transferred would make a difference and was still told no. I don't understand how an office can deny a pregnant woman? I have good insurance and this is a healthy (second) pregnancy. I was very frustrated. read more

I had been going to Dr Anderson for years. I starting having issues and Dr Anderson suggested I have a hysterectomy. My insurance said no they wanted more time. I suffered a year and things got worse. I ended up in hospital with a blood transfusion. I immediately contact Dr Anderson and he wouldn't help, wouldn't see me, wouldn't call my insurance. He wouldn't return my calls and his staff wouldn't help. He left me to suffer. Two days later I found a Dr who cares and got the help I needed and deserved. I worry about his other patience's. Please don't put yourself in a bad situation. If you have complications he will not help. dr Anderson does not care about his patience. All he needed to do was to give me medicine so I would stop bleeding until I could have surgery and he wouldn't. Don't do it! I never write posts like this but I cried for days and had to let people know what he did to me. read more

I have read several articles recently about how it is not necessary to have an exam yearly. So I asked to skip a year. The office staff declined my request. Then they asked which insurance I had (I have always been a cash patient because once I used my insurance with them and received bill after bill and it was a headache) and they said they couldn't see me because they don't take my insurance. I asked to just pay cash but they said no. It seems to be the way it works but it's disappointing to say the least. So to update my review: It is disappointing that you cannot choose how often you come. Also, disappointing that I can't pay cash (maybe not their fault but still irritating). If I was Oprah and wanted to see a doctor not on my insurance plan couldn't I just pay cash? Guess not. Also, the lady I spoke with on the phone was no where near warm and fuzzy. She didn't even attempt to understand that the circumstances were frustrating for me, the patient. So I would agree with the other reviews on that level. read more

I would not recommend Dr. Andersen. I was seen by him from beginning of pregnancy to delivery of my son, his incompetence during delivery caused major damage to my son. Severed 4 out of 5 of his nerves in his neck (pulling and twisting during delivery) causing a brachial plexus injury, no movement in his left arm, 10 hr surgery at 5 months old and is now the first child in all of Riverside County to have this injury. He is now 15 months and still has not recovered all functionality. I know we all understand how important it is to feel that you are on same terms with you OB. It is important to see eye to eye in terms of your care, pregnancy and delivery plan. My opinion is if you feel uneasy or second guessing his plans in terms of your health, find a new ob quickly! I hope that my review can give you more clarification in whether you've made the right choice or not. I hope all pregnancies go as planned with Dr.Andersen. read more

i had to update my review. i know it's almost 5 years later, but I couldn't keep my review at 5 stars. At the beginning my experience was wonderful, despite the terrible reviews i had heard.. i was very comfortable with the doctor and i had nothing but good things to say. However, towards the end of my pregnancy things started to get weird. With it being my first baby (full term, i had four miscarriages) i did not know the standard protocol. My urine was never taken, apparently this was something that needed to be done. That is not my concern though. My daughter was born 3 weeks early with a dangerously low platelet count. I went to Rancho Springs while in labor and was turned away because "my water had not broke" and later he advised since i was a first time mom i had time. I ended up going to Loma Linda and they immediately admitted me. 12 hours later I welcomed my baby girl. She had a high fever and after some tests they discovered that my platelets had been attacking hers, and that was causing her blood count to drop, this lead to having her be transported to Loma Linda Children's Hospital and having a blood and immunoglobin transfusion. When i spoke to the doctor in the NICU he asked if my doctor had been tracking my blood or monitoring my levels since i had so many miscarriages, and then it dawned on me... he hadn't. He had not checked, once. At my follow up appointment with my newborn I presented the issue to him and he had nothing to say for himself. I did not return, and I caution you to do the same. Having a baby is a beautiful experience and it should be done safely. Believe what you hear about this man. read more

Joked about his wife saying she should have had c sections so the sex would be better.

Went in for my 8 week ultrasound only to have it end in less than 10 minutes. Dr. Andersen was very nice but didn't take a second to even ask me questions to build a doctor patient relationship. Given that this is my first pregnancy, I hope to have a doctor who knows me and makes me feel safe and comfortable when I'm delivering. He walked in and said "okay let's get you a picture", had me lay down, took the ultrasound photo and it was over. I would have liked to have a moment to see and hear the heartbeat but i felt like i blinked and missed it. My husband was at the appointment and was pretty surprised and disappointed. Like I said, he was nice but I want to feel like I'm more than just a number during my pregnancy. I will be switching OBs for the remainder of my pregnancy. read more

Dr. Anderson is very professional and compassionate. His staff is also friendly and helpful. I'm so grateful I was referred to him for my first experience being pregnant. read more

My friend recommended dr Michael Anderson to me this was my first visit and I was extremely comfortable with him and the staff is so nice and cheerful. I cannot wait to bring my child into the world with such and amazing doctor. read more

I recently moved to Temecula and was in need of a new OB/GYN so I was referred to Dr. Andersen's office. Well, I just left the office after my first appointment and wellness exam and I'm feeling so grateful and excited to have found Dr. Andersen and his staff. From the initial call to schedule the appt to the exam and post exam questions, they left no stone unturned. The office staff is patient, warm, friendly and professional. I already love them. As for the doctor, he's amazing. He was able to solve a mystery I had for years that no doctor or OB was able to answer and it felt like a thousand light bulbs went off in my head. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, competent and professional while maintaining a warm and nurturing presence. If only I had met this doctor sooner, I would have not had to do so many unnecessary test and lab exams. I am so happy to have found this office. Thank you so much! Competence should be a baseline expectation but it's hard to find. You all have exceeded my expectations. read more

Wow... So I first saw Dr. Andersen when I was pregnant, in my 2nd trimester, as I'd just changed OBGYN's. At first he seemed really nice and spent time answering questions, not making me feel rushed. I wasn't thrilled with the hour wait, at least, for every appointment, but he seemed nicer than my last OB, so I figured whatever. But by 37 weeks pregnant, waiting in a small, cramped, not inviting waiting room with 2 toddlers for OVER an hour was just ridiculous. After about 2 months of seeing him, one of the nurses asked if I'd given a pee sample her for that particular appt. I told her nobody had instructed me to do so and she said that's something I should have been doing for every appt. Nobody had ever told me this... After just a few appointments of experiencing the nice side of him, he became more and more rushed in my appointments. I would be asking a question and he would literally be grabbing the door handle before beginning to answer. Another huge issue for me was I wanted a tubal ligation at the same time I delivered the baby, which to my understanding talking to other mothers and doctors was very possible and very common. He told me "they don't do that anymore. They make you wait until months after you have the baby so that you're really sure about it"...... #1 I don't know who "they" are but I'm sure he just wants more money since it would be two different hospital stays so he would get paid more. #2 this was my THIRD child, this is MY BODY and I'm 100% sure I am done having kids. When it came time to deliver, I ended up delivering at a hospital he didn't have privileges with. So when I called after baby was born for a postpartum follow up, the staff gave me attitude because the Dr didn't deliver the baby and he refused to help in any way with pain management because he didn't deliver the baby. Due to certain circumstances of the delivery, I was in a great deal of pain and when I asked if the Dr was really unwilling to help AT ALL, the nurses response was, "well if you're really in pain, maybe you should go to the ER". So much for an empathetic staff or Dr with someone who just pushed out a bowling ball... I wouldn't recommend this place at all. Seriously, go anywhere else. You couldn't pay me to come back. read more

Not very happy with Dr.Anderson, I had a bad experience on my first prenatal visit... He performed an ultrasound and told me he saw nothing he said I might be in the early stages of miscarriage. He said he wanted to make sure so he sent me straight for lab work to check hcg levels. Then he said he wanted me to go get my blood drawn again in two days to compare the results. He said if the levels doubled then I had a normal pregnancy and maybe the ultrasound was just too early. He assured me he would call me with results on Friday. Friday morning I called the office to check if my blood results had came in. The lady I spoke to said I will transfer you to the voice mail to leave a message for the nurse because we are too busy right now and don't have time to go look for them. I left a voicemail requesting Dr. Anderson to call me back with lab results. Never heard back from him or the nurse. I called back at noon and got a recording saying we close at noon on Fridays. Dr. Anderson never called me. On the recording they have an option that says if this is an emergency press 1 and an operator answers. I told her I was waiting for Dr. Anderson to call me with results. She said she would call him and tell him to call me. About 30 min later she called me back. She said Dr. Anderson said he is too busy right now and does not have access to your results and will not be able to call you until Monday. I can understand if it was just routine lab work or something that is not that important... Yes that can definitely wait. But when you are waiting to hear from your doctor to see if your baby is ok or not. That is very important to me and would have appreciated if he had cared a little more. Having to go through the weekend without knowing what's going on is the worst part! You can't just tell some one you might be having an early miscarriage and not call you back with results. This was very disappointing to me. He was highly recommended to me by a coworker but I will not be returning with Dr. Anderson. I'm a Nurse my self and I work with doctors as well and I totally understand that we/they do get super busy but if our doctors tell you they are going to call you with results, they are going to call you!! no matter how busy they are, even if it's 8 a clock at night, because our patients come first and obviously to Dr . Anderson his patients are not his first priority which is not the kind of doctor that I am looking for for my pre-natal care. read more
