Anderschat John F MD

Stepping into this office is like stepping into a bygone era where the doctor was part of the everyday fissure of a neighborhood and not part of the machine that is now modern healthcare.
Firstly, Dr. Anderschat’s office is located in a residential area, an office attachment to a home. There’s a sign out front indicating that there’s a doctor’s office there and you can park on the street it appears to me at least. From my understanding, and based upon the other patients that were waiting in the waiting room with me, he’s been a part of that neighborhood for decades and has a lot of long-​time patients. They participate in most insurance plans but they do not accept credit/​debit cards so you have to pay your copay in cash or check.
Dr Anderschat has a decent bedside manner, listening keenly and taking time out to hear out all your questions (even if you have a million of them, like I do) and doesn’t hurry or rush you along. Appointments tend to run on time and there’s no overbooking.
Now, with it being a small practice and not your typical officepark or hospital office, you won’t have certain things like the waiting room after the waiting room, or being abandoned in the examination room doomed to be forgotten (or until a nurse/​PA comes along to take your vitals). The office is homely and small with quirky relics from bygone eras (some of the kids toys in the waiting room should probably be taken to the antique road show). There’s no one to escort you to another room, no taking of your vitals (height, weight, blood pressure) just getting right to the examination. Some might like it but some might not. I see him for a routine exam, not for an specific ailments so I’m not sure how he is in regards to treating chronic conditions.
Oh and be sure to bring check or cash for your copay! No debit/​credit cards.
