About James C. Anderson, IV, MD

  • Dr. Anderson has transitioned his practice to solely care for patients in need of care for mental and behavioral conditions. His Physician Assistant, Shaelyn Gibson, and he have their practice on working with patients and families to help patients achieve their maximum emotional, psychological, developmental, and academic potential.

    If you would like to establish care at Austin Regional Clinic, Dr. Anderson highly recommends his ARC Far West Pediatric colleagues:

    Dr. Anderson grew up in St. Louis, MO, where he played ice hockey, and is an avid St. Louis Blues and Cardinals fan. He and his wife lived for 20 years in North Carolina, where he practiced at Cornerstone Health Care, now Wake Forest Baptist Health. Dr. Anderson and his wife have three grown children. In his free time, he can be found with his wife on their boat, visiting family in Horseshoe Bay, being active outside, playing ice hockey, or walking their dog, Kirby, named after the University of Georgia Bulldogs football coach!

During the past 23 years of pediatric practice in North Carolina prior to joining ARC, I sub-specialized in the treatment of pediatric mental health and behavioral medicine, specifically in the area of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and medication management of autism. Each of these children and families have their own unique story and challenges, and I am blessed when I have the opportunity to help them along this journey to overcome their individual challenges and discover their own unique gifts and talents. I believe that active listening and involving both parents and children are the key to a successful relationship with my patients. I look forward to providing enhanced pediatric mental and behavioral health care to my ARC patients.

OVERALL PROVIDER RATING

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"

4.8out of 5
  • March 14, 2023

    Every thing was good except it was long time waiting at the waiting area hall and at the room for the doctor to come.

  • March 14, 2023

    Dr. Anderson was by far the best provider I’ve come across in life.

  • March 14, 2023

    Dr. Anderson took a great deal of time to evaluate and treat our son and we came away feeling good about our plan and follow-up. Really very impressed.

  • March 10, 2023

    Dr. Anderson was amazing and thorough.

  • March 8, 2023

    Talented Dr but had no time for my concerns. Misdirected them as personal for me and not my son. Needs to exemplify more patients and respect.

  • February 25, 2023

    Dr Anderson was great. Wish we knew of his ADHD specialty sooner.
