Reviews
I am very fortunate to have been treated by Mr Anderson on two occasions several years apart. Both times I encountered an unforeseen complication, which he tackled speedily and effectively. He may very well have saved my life.
I found him a thorough, skilful and thoughtful specialist and I appreciated copies of letters he sent to my GP stating fully and accurately what I had told him, what he had done and what he proposed to do. I confidently recommend him to anyone in my predicament.

Mr Anderson explained all of the factors involved in my assessment and treatment very clearly so I was able to understand it fully and gave a very clear outline of the pros and cons of different treatment options.
An extremely effective consultant/surgeon who engendered confidence in his diagnoses and proposed treatment. His knowledge of urological conditions is of the highest order. In addition, he is a caring clinician, sensitive to the needs and worries of patients. I have no hesitation in recommending Christopher Anderson.
Mr Anderson listened carefully to my concerns and explained very well the issues around my prostate cancer. He is a true professional and really understands the topic and I was very pleased that he carried out the removal of my prostate himself. I made a very quick recovery and am pleased that he is doing follow-ups.
I am completely happy with the way Mr Anderson and his team looked after me.
