Joining Miller Orthopaedic Clinic (now OrthoCarolina) in 1989, Dr. Anderson has found a way to combine his love of medicine with his love of football. From his days at the Medical College of Wisconsin, he formed a consulting relationship with his childhood team, the NFL’s Green Bay Packers, to treat some of the players’ most challenging cases. He has since been a consultant to nearly every team in the NFL, as well as to teams in the NBA and MLB. He also serves as the foot and ankle consultant to Major League Baseball's Umpire Division.
A Carolinian since 1983, Dr. Anderson is now the assistant team physician of his adopted home team, the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. With a fellowship in the foot and ankle specialty, he offers keen insight into the treatment of these injuries. He also applies this experience to helping local area high school football and basketball players get back into action.
Dr. Anderson founded the O.L. Miller Foot and Ankle Institute in 1989, and it has grown to become one of the most recognized centers for the treatment of common and complex foot and ankle disorders in the country. He and his colleagues have become leaders in the advancement of orthopedic foot and ankle education, research and technology. Dr. Anderson also serves as chief of the foot and ankle service at Carolinas Medical Center.
