Jeanne M. Anderson, M.D.

I feel that caring for patients involves working with each person to achieve good health, to prevent the development of health problems as much as possible, and to treat acute and chronic illnesses to the best of my ability.

I enjoy working with patients of all ages and I am capable of dealing with a wide variety of problems.  I want my patients to feel comfortable talking to me about anything that affects their health status.  Caring for the whole person is what family medicine is all about.

Range of Practice

Family Physicians have a broad range of training and experience. Because of this I care for patients of all ages including infants, children, adolescents, adults (including prenatal care and delivery) and the elderly. I also have extensive experience in obstetrical care and in gynecology, including colposcopy (evaluation and treatment of abnormal Pap smears.
My practice emphasizes health promotion, disease prevention, and health maintenance, counseling, patient education, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses in a variety of health care setting (e.g. office, inpatient, long term care, etc.) I apply modern techniques to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the vast majority of common illnesses and injuries.
I feel that doctor-patient communication is important and encourage the role of the patient as a partner in health care. I get to know you and become familiar with your medical history, help coordinate your health care needs by serving as a patient advocate in all health related matters, including the appropriate use of consultants, health services and community resources. In my practice I strive for continuity of care for you and your family.
Family HealthServices is a physician owned and operated family practice group with multiple locations in the East Metro area. Therefore, we are able to provide patients with access to their own personal physician or to an established back-up physician when the primary physician is not available.
