Cristan Anderson, MD, has joined Central Maine Surgical Associates, which is part of Central Maine Healthcare (CMH).
Dr. Anderson is a colorectal surgeon who graduated from medical school at Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine in Chicago. She completed her residency at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey.
Dr. Anderson treats both life-threatening diseases and those that significantly affect quality of life.
“In most cases, we have the ability to impact both types of disease significantly,” Dr. Anderson said. “I enjoy teamwork within colorectal surgery practice and working closely with other physicians and clinicians, as well as my patients.
“Patients are experts on their experience, and my expertise is in the medical underpinnings of disease. By partnering with them, we can ensure the best outcomes, together.”
“Dr. Anderson is a great addition to our team,” said Tim Counihan, MD, chief surgeon, Central Maine Healthcare. “Colorectal health is such an important factor in patients’ overall well-being, and the expertise she brings to this field will be a direct benefit to them.”
