Dr. Wende J. Anderson is truly exceptional.
As a Marine combat veteran who served in both Afghanistan and Iraq and later retired from the New York Air National Guard (2000–2020), I have faced my share of challenges with PTSD. I first met Dr. Anderson in 2015 when I was struggling to get the help and documentation I needed for my VA claim. Her professionalism, compassion, and expertise were instrumental in helping me receive my 100% PTSD rating from the VA. Later, when I was going through the medical retirement process with the Air National Guard, I turned to Dr. Anderson again. With her evaluation and guidance, I was able to successfully retire with a 100% PTSD rating and 50% DoD rating. In 2021, when I applied for Social Security Disability, Dr. Anderson once again provided the evaluation and support I needed. Thanks to her thoroughness and understanding of both military and civilian systems, I was approved for benefits. Dr. Anderson has been a key part of my journey toward healing and stability. She understands veterans, listens deeply, and genuinely cares about her patients’ well- being. I’m forever grateful for her help and highly recommend her to any veteran or service member seeking professional psychological support. Thank you, Dr. Anderson, for everything you’ve done.
— George, USMC & USAF (Ret.)I moved to Florida in 2016 and soon after sought a highly qualified neuropsychologist with extensive experience in evaluation and counseling of war trauma and PTSD. I was referred to Dr. Wende Anderson as the best specialist in the area. After receiving a thorough evaluation and diagnosis prepared for review by the veteran's administration, I continued with regular visits for trauma counseling and therapy. I have benefited significantly over the years in healing inner wounds from war and life from her wise and compassionate counsel. Her professional skills and track record within and beyond the VA and with other related specialists have enabled her professional evaluations, assessments and recommendations to carry great credibility, respect and authority. She is an exceptional psychological professional and wonderful human being. She is most highly recommended as a professional who truly cares and achieves superb results.
