I have been under the care of Mr Anderson since he diagnosed that I had renal cancer apprx 15 years ago, following which he carried a highly successful operation when my right kidney was removed. I believe that it is as a result of his excellence that I am here now to write this review. Mr Anderson has continued to monitor my health since the operation and I cannot speak highly enough of him.

I obtained a consultation with this consultant quite quickly following a urinary Tract Infection. He listened carefully and took full details of my condition and experience. He explained in a clear way the risks and advantages both of further treatment(surgery) and of not pursuing surgery at this time. Following further tests, including an Ultrasound scan, he advised a flexible cystoscopy, which he carried out. The procedure was done sympathetically, and I only experienced post-procedure pain for a short time (a few hours). Subsequently he provided clear and helpful letters to my GP and myself on my condition and the procedure, advised additional medicine after taking account of the medicines I was already on (only Ramipril 5mg daily), and indicated, while advising he saw no need to rush into surgery, he would review me again in 6 months' time.

Mr Anderson performed a Hydrocell repair on a testicle on 4th February 2022. The whole process from initial consultation to the final follow up consultation on 18th March was very professional and a total success. I never suffered any discomfort after the operation. Mr Anderson inspires great confidence

Dr Anderson performed a frenulopasty and a partial circumcision to treat my phismosis. Dr Anderson was great at explaining the condition, the need for treatment as well as open to any point of view/requests of the patient. The surgery went smoothly according to plan and the healing , so far, had been good and according to expectation.

Mr Christopher Anderson is a consultant Urological surgeon with a general Urological practise as well as a specialist interest in renal and prostate cancer. 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.
