Full explanation of the problem & the intended treatment. The operation was successful and now see Mr Anderson for follow up consultations & review. Mrs Anderson is very friendly and efficient at organising scans & appointments. A wonderful team which was very supportive during a very worrying time.

Mr Anderson took the time after checking to explain the situation, options and go over any concerns that I had. I left feeling satisfied that i hadn;t been rushed and that my concerns were understood and taken seriously.

I don't really have anything to add. My treatment has been first class and Mr Anderson has always been very polite and helpful in our discussions. My surgery was carried out with great efficiency and Mr Anderson was even good enough to personally telephone my wife after the procedure.

Mr Anderson has a really very calming approach and provides very clear and easy to understand explanations about your health and the course of action to take. I would highly recommend Mr Anderson and should I ever need to see a Consultant in his area of expertise I would definitely go back to see him. Many thanks for looking after me yesterday.

A very knowledgable man, who I felt at ease with. After being told I had kidney cancer and needed my kidney removed, I was in shock, but knew With Chris , I was in the best hands. I went into Princess Grace hospital on my birthday to have the kidney removed and was looked after by everyone there, what fantastic staff, and everyone was really helpful and caring and always smiling which made me feel at ease. I have just had 2 all clears from Chris and what a great feeling, and am so grateful I had such a marvellous doctor who looked after me, Janine who sets all the appointments up also very helpful and felt I could ring her when I needed to.

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.
