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.

From my initial consultation to aftercare, I have enjoyed my relationship with Chris. I am someone who likes straight talking, and Chris always carefully explained any issue I was concerned about. At the ned of each meeting, all my questions were answered, and I understood fully exactly what was going on. He also has an appropriate sense of humour, and to be honest I (almost )enjoyed my meetings with him. After discovering I had prostate cancer (marvellously described as a grain of rice sized cancer in my walnut sized prostate) I elected to 'watchfully wait'. Chis made it clear that something had to be done, but that, whilst keeping an eye on things, I could have some time fully to consider which treatment I would eventually opt for. I decided on a prostatectomy, and was pleased that Chris was an expert on the Da Vinci machine! He did a marvellous job, and much to my relief I had no issue with incontinence - erectile problems are minimal (indeed, how much of that is to do with age, I am unsure), scars disappeared in no time. . . . I have my regular blood tests, the results of which Chris texts me. I could not be more pleased with him. My op was in 2012, my tests are clear, and I am as well as ever.

Mr Anderson is friendly and approachable, and clearly expert. He is happy to discuss issues in as much detail as possible if desired, and can clarify complex problems for a concerned patient.
