Recognized as one of the best in the nation: Dr. David Anderson

Dr. David Anderson, a CoxHealth physician specializing in prostate cancer and robotic surgery, has been recognized by Newsweek Magazine as one of America’s Best Prostate Cancer Surgeons for 2024! 

This distinction is awarded based on various performance measures, including peer surveys, certification considerations and more. Only 150 prostate cancer oncologists nationwide are recognized. 

“If there’s anybody that this recognition should go to, it’s my entire team,” says Dr. Anderson. “I’ve got a great team that helps me manage all aspects of my practice. Nobody works in a silo in my field, so I’m very thankful for my incredible nurses, surgical staff, physician's assistants, anesthesiologists and more. We are giving patients an opportunity to get great care for prostate cancer right here at CoxHealth.”  

Dr. Anderson has served CoxHealth patients for nearly 20 years.  

“I like taking care of prostate cancer patients because it allows me to create a relationship with these patients not only at a time where their lives are stressful, but also to continue following these patients over the years with really good outcomes,” says Dr. Anderson. 

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in the United States. Dr. Anderson encourages at-risk patients, including men over the age of 50, to talk with a health care provider about an annual rectal exam and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test.
