He is very clear with his analysis of my condition and possible treatments, leaving some discretion to me as to which approach to take

I have known Mr Anderson for a number of years. I can highly recommend him. He is extremely professional, friendly, welcoming, and takes the time to ask questions and listens to what you have to say.

It is difficult enough to start of the process of checking on your prostate and to then be sure that you understand what is being said about the results and more importantly, the next steps. Mr Anderson has ensured that from the initial consultation, through to the results of blood tests and MRIs, that I know exactly what the situation is and any subsequent follow up actions. Brevity, clarity and trust are what you need when discussing such an emotive subject and that is what Mr Anderson provides.

I have been seeing Dr Anderson for just over a year. From when I saw him at my first appt, he explained everything thoroughly in terms of the scan I would have, the embolisation procedure I had and what would happen thereafter. This was a worrying time for me to find I had a kidney and liver tumour, but the care has been superb. Dr Anderson’s secretary always responded quickly and efficiently with any questions answered so I knew what actions if any I needed to take. I can only recommend Dr Anderson as being a polite, knowledgeable consultant who I would not hesitate to go back to if I had any further concerns.

He has particular expertise in minimally invasive robotic and laparoscopic surgical approaches.

He continued to develop this technique and has the largest series with long term follow-up in the country. He was an integral member of the team that pioneered robotic surgery in the UK, introducing the robotic surgery programme to St George's Healthcare in July 2008, and has successfully developed the service as lead robotic surgeon.
