Reviews
Dr Anderson guided us through a difficult and uncertain time after I was diagnosed with a tumor on my kidney. He helped me prepare for the operation to remove the tumor and we felt quite confident he was giving us the best possible advice.
The operation itself went very smoothly and the recovery process was swift and follow up kept us informed and at ease.
We are most grateful to him.
Mr Anderson dealt with me in a professional but caring way and made me feel like I was in good hands.
Mr. Anderson imparts information and diagnosis clearly, succinctly and authoritatively.
