  • Dr. Andersen is very attentive and shows a lot of care and concern for her patients. She always makes me feel heard and never rushed. She has excellent bed side manner.
    Dr. Andersen is the best doctor I ever had. Caring and understanding. She is the best listener and respectful.
    Dr. Anderson & her staff were very caring.
    In the approximately 15 years that I've been going to Dr. Andersen, she has consistently provided me with the best care possible. Back In 2011 she had to deliver the challenging news of my breast cancer diagnosis and she referred me to a marvelous group of hematologists, oncologists, and surgeons. I have been cancer free since 2012 and several doctors in my cancer team have retired or gone to other hospitals. Now, she's helping me navigate the Providence system to find another superb team of physicians. I have 100% confidence and trust In Dr. Athena Andersen.
    Dr. Andersen is awesome. She is always so caring and really helpful and encouraging.

    Biography

    Philosophy of Care
    I believe that the practice of medicine is collaboration between the patient and the physician, with the physician listening carefully to completely understand the needs and desires of the patient. I feel that the physician and patient should work together to determine a treatment plan that is effective and fits with the patient’s lifestyle.

    Hobbies
    When I am not working with patients, I love to read, paint, create scrapbooks and spend time with my children.
