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.

Above all, Mr Anderson is not just a master in his field but he is,also, a man, who cares for his patients. He is understanding, kind and puts his patients at their ease from the beginning of the appointment to the end. Nothing is too much trouble as he gives as much time as a patient feels they need to discuss all aspects of their case.All practicalities with regard to other appointments and follow up procedures are handled seemlessly. I can not recommend Mr Anderson highly enough. He has, quite literally, saved my life !

In my experience, Mr Anderson was not only an excellent surgeon but provided great client care. As an anxious patient, his good bedside manner was really appreciated. And his PA, Janine, is also great.
