I have been seeing Dr. Anders while local to chicago since 2013, most recently picking up when i moved back to Chicago in a couple years back. Dr. Anders has always been available, especially if i was in active crisis, responding to my messages promptly and empathetically. I appreciate her for not only hearing, but considering and respecting my input as a patient when it comes to medications and symptoms/experiences I’ve lived. She is a wonderful psychiatrist who is attentive, professional, and kind. Lastly, she is great about reminding me to get my required lab work done, which I’ve noticed a lot of practitioners seem to slip on.
I came to Dr.Anders about 6 or 7 years ago to get an assessment of my mental health. She is very easy to talk to and is a great listener. I didn't realize that our casual conversation was the actual "assessment"...lol! Initially, we met every month until she was certain that the medication prescribed was a good fit. My mental health gradually improved subtlety, which was the intention. Also, she is very responsive to emails/text if I were to have any questions or issues regarding my prescription. I highly recommend her, and as with every doctor, it takes a bit of time to build a rapport in order to achieve the best results.
I have been seeing Dr Anders for nearly four years. She stands out in her profession due to her empathy and kindness. She is thoughtful and always puts the patient first in decision making. I appreciate her listening skills and ability to provide solid advice and guidance.
I have been seeing Dr. Anders for the past six years. She is very compassionate and professional. She listens with great care and has created a treatment plan that has helped me overcome my anxiety.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Anders since the spring of 2023. She’s extremely kind and understanding, and since seeing her I feel as though my OCD has improved a lot over the past months! She helped me find the right meds for me and I truly appreciate all she’s done!
Dr. Anders has been wonderful to work with. She’s knowledgeable, caring, responsive, and supportive - whenever I have questions or concerns, she is quick to response and always makes me feel heard. Would recommend her to anyone.
I have been seeing Dr. Anders for many years and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism, empathy, and kindness. She is always thoughtful in her decision making and has a spectacular knowledge of available medications and treatments, especially those on the cutting edge. She is also a great listener and worthy of the trust I place in her.
I have been seeing Dr. Laure Anders for about 5 years now and I have nothing but good things to say about her. Dr. Anders truly cares about her patients and takes the time each session to really understand your feelings and emotions, she is not just there to fill up your prescriptions. I have grown so much since my first visit with Dr. Anders and could not be more pleased with our progress. She's the best!!!
Dr. Anders is the best! She works very closely with me to make sure I have the right dosages and types of medication, and I always feel heard when I talk to her. She is patient, communicative, and professional - yet still warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend Dr. Anders to anyone seeking psychiatric care.
Dr Anders is literally the most responsive, up to par with expertise knowledge, understanding and most importantly to me is her accuracy, which is huge for me in having trust (most especiallly with this field of medicine). What impressed me immediately is the technology at her fingertips, which I've never seen any other doctor have the tools she incorporates to get the job done. Highly recommend.
