Above all Chris is a brilliant and experienced surgeon and a top man in his field. Friends of mine who are medical professionals discreetly checked him out and came back with the highest commendation.
Chris is infinitely patient and he addresses all your concerns. He also advises firmly and clearly when something is troubling you. If it not important, or it is something normal, he says so. If it is a valid concern, he deals with it. His aftercare is second to none. When I was discharged from hospital after a fairly traumatic week following my prostatectomy, Chris said he would come round to my house over the weekend if I had any issues. Remarkable.

He was very clear and very straightforward to talk to. He made all my treatment options very clear.

A charming, friendly and very professional doctor who provided an excellent level of service, and who gave his diagnosis in a straight forward, easy to understand manner. His manner was relaxed, and his explanations were sound and seemingly well supported by his experience and technical expertise. I would have no hesitation in recommending this doctor and from my dealings with him so far, I would have no reservations about trusting him implicitly.

I would recommend Chris Anderson without question. He definitely saved my life - I had a very virulent type of kidney cancer and he spent at least 6 hours operating on me and removed every single sign or possible sign of cancer from my body for which I am totally in his debt. Thanks to his dedication, fastidiousness and thoroughness I have been clear of cancer for five years. He suggested that I should be checked on an annual basis due it being a type 3 cancer and I agreed that it was a sensible idea in view of this but yesterday we both agreed that we are going for 18 months now instead of one year which is wonderful.
I don't know if he listened to me or anyone else but what I have really appreciated is that after the first or second follow-up I had to wait for the results for a while which was rather unnerving to put it mildly and I told him this. Thereafter, he arranged the scan a few hours before seeing him with a sympathetic radiologist so I could get the results the same day when I saw him later - this is what all patients want and means that he understands and identifies their worries and concerns - 10/10 on all counts, I was so lucky to meet him at the right time.

In his general Urological practise he manages a wide spectrum of conditions : urinary infections, voiding and bladder problems, enlarged prostates (BPH), haematuria (blood in urine), circumcision, fertility workup, vasectomy / reversal vasectomy and erectile dysfunction. He has particular expertise in minimally invasive robotic and laparoscopic surgical approaches. Mr Anderson completed his undergraduate work at Stellenbosch and his postgraduate training in Cape Town, South Africa, before taking up a substantive consultant post at St George's Healthcare in 1999. He undertook fellowships to Cleveland, the University of Miami and Detroit in the United States before travelling to the University of Leipzig in Germany to further his training in both renal and prostate cancer surgery. Mr Anderson was one of the first to adopt laparoscopic techniques in urology surgery in the UK. In 2004 he introduced laparoscopic renal cryotherapy, also the first operation of its kind in the UK. 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.
