My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

Connecting with patients on any level and speaking in a clear, straightforward yet empathetic way, is my communication style. Being entirely fluent in Spanish has enabled me to connect with more patients than I ever imagined. One of the best compliments I ever received from a patient was "you're really a regular guy who happens to be a doctor". This compliment means so much to me because I believe as a physician, communication is paramount. I also feel that earning your trust and respect starts with "walking the talk" in living a healthy lifestyle. I am an avid exercise enthusiast with a strong interest in sports medicine, which helps not only athletes but patients with any type of pain. 

As a family medicine physician, with almost 20 years of experience in handling all types of chronic illnesses and doing numerous office procedures, I feel very confident in being your "quarterback" - the doctor who can handle multiple complex issues and coordinate care with the entire healthcare team. In partnering with MDVIP, my family medicine practice allows me to have the time to focus on wellness and prevention. I believe preventing problems long before they come to fruition makes sense for everyone. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments.

My practice is located in Rockville, MD adjacent to Shady Grove Adventist Hospital, where I have privileges. I look forward to working together with you to accomplish all of your healthcare goals.

from Pamela in MD March 10, 2024 for Alec Anders, MD

During the 2022 Christmas season, my daughter-in-law got COVID from a mid December shopping trip to NY (my son and his family live with me). I had hip replacement surgery scheduled for 1/24/23, and it took 2 months to get that date. I tested positive 12/27. Dr. Anders followed me every day by the portal on my status. After almost testing negative, I had a rebound. He agreed to put me on… See more

from Jeanne in MD March 9, 2024 for Alec Anders, MD

Two years ago I was at an extremely low point. A rift in my family had alienated my son from his daughters and thus my beloved granddaughters from me. At an office visit I confided this to your nurse, Carol. She went and got you and, like always, you listened in your wonderful, supportive way. You and your wonderful, caring staff helped me through this difficult time. The therapist… See more

I have been a patient of Dr. Anders for some 15 years in totals, about 5 years under MDVIP. He is truly a wonderful service provider. Nothing is too much trouble for him. He even came to my house to tell us that my wife had a serious problem and needed to get to the hospital asap.
As I am getting older is very patient in explaining my diagnosis and detailing my remedies. I wouldn’t… See more

from Gene in MD February 17, 2024 for Alec Anders, MD

During my annual physical a few years ago, my blood work showed an anomaly, especially since I am very healthy (no cholesterol issues, no BP issues, no sugar issues, etc., etc.). Dr. Anders had me repeat the test 3x thinking it was a mistake (perhaps lab errors which unfortunately DO happen) and even utilized diff lab but alas, results were still there.

Referred me to a highly respected… See more

from Michael in MD February 15, 2024 for Alec Anders, MD

Dr. Anders is an excellent doctor. When we first became his patients, my wife was suffering from multiple medical conditions and debilitating anxiety. He met with her weekly for months, treated all her conditions, followed up regularly, and provided expert care. Most importantly, he understood her anxiety, the holistic nature of a human being in addition to specific bodily Illnesses and… See more

from JOHN in MD February 12, 2024 for Alec Anders, MD

I really apprecaite all that Dr. Anders has done for me over the past 15 years (I followed him from his prior practice). An oustanding doctor with great compassion and bedside manner. I can't say enough nice things about him, and I will not hold it against Dr. Anders for being so dedicated to the "professional" football team in DC. But I am sure about one thing - his success… See more

from Helen in MD January 18, 2024 for Alec Anders, MD

The best doctor would know you. Dr Anders knows his patients. I have been seeing Dr. Anders for over 15 years and I am now 82. Maybe I have another 10 years but I want to have Dr. Anders as my doctor looking out for me. Thank you for your knowledge of medicine and your continuing care.

If nothing else the fact that i have been a patient of his for a ʼlong time predating MDVIP. The thing i am most appreciative is that he speaks ENGLISH when explaining something. He is always calm and relaxed everytime i see him. Not in a hurry. Inspires trust in the medical profession
