Dr. Milt Anderson is a Psychiatrist in Virginia who has been practicing since 1992. He earned his M.D. at Washington University School of Medicine, completed his Internship and General Psychiatry Residency and his Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at Walter Reed Medical Center. Dr. Anderson is usually quickly able to forge a working alliance with clients and move fairly quickly from “intake mode” to “problem solving mode,” even as the extended evaluation of a complex problem progresses. He has worked in many different settings including the United States military (as an Army Medical Officer), in schools, and in large medical systems. Dr. Anderson collaborates well with psychologists, non-physician therapists, and non-psychiatric physicians. Outside of work, Dr. Anderson enjoys hiking, gardening, and bicycling.

See what our patients are saying about Milton Anderson

Really not understanding these bad reviews. I have undergone 15 years of psychiatric treatment and NOBODY has gotten it right. Dr. Anderson was able to correctly diagnose my illness, clean up existing scrips and add new ones, and basically saved my life in an hour. I am doing worlds better than I have ever been. I can't believe I suffered the way I did for so long. All it takes is a good doctor to change your life, and he is a very very good doctor. He is passionate about this, keeps up with the research, and is happy to engage in informational and educational conversation. His bedside manner and time management are incredible. What Psychiatrist is on time? This one. Nothing but great things to say.

I've been Dr. Milton's patient for nearly 1.5 years and consistently satisfied with his support throughout. I appreciate his thoughtful approach to considering treatment options, providing me with all the information I need to collaboratively make decisions with him. Today I am especially grateful that he is taking on my treatment for fibromyalgia, recently diagnosed by my rheumatologist. Thank you!

After a series of major life-changing events and failing to find a suitable doctor both capable of understanding and properly treating the effects of my experiences, I met Dr. Anderson who finally made me unafraid of seeking treatment. If you are in search of a doctor who is understanding, compassionate, and direct, I highly recommend you to see Dr. Anderson.

The best psychiatrist (Dr. Anderson) and the best service in 40 years. Readjusting my old unsatisfying treatment has ben a prompt success and Dr. Anderson’s diagnostics is as sharp as a blade. No psychiatrist in 40 years has been able to help me that much. Being monitored closely is precious and rare.

My son was really struggling before, we're ironing out what he needs exactly. I have noticed a really intense energy, but I vibe with it :) His work with AuDHD 4th grader has been on point. I hope that stays that way.
