At a routine consultation Mr Anderson diagnosed urinary sepsis and had me admitted immediately to HCU at the hospital where he was consulting. Thereafter he provided caring professional care to ensure I made a quick recovery. Although I responded well and quickly he continued to support me over the next 4 days and subsequently has checked on me as an outpatient. I have total confidence in him and greatly appreciate his caring attention.

I have been impressed by Mr Anderson’s care, clarity and professionalism. He discussed options with me to treat my enlarged prostate and provided clear information from scans and tests to decide on the most appropriate surgical procedure. He met me before surgery and made early morning visits following surgery to monitor my progress. I have also had the first of two follow up appointments. I am delighted with the results of the surgery and with the attention to detail and care that Mr Anderson has provided. I would certainly recommend him to anyone who requires an experienced, competent and professional urologist.

Chris Anderson is a master of his profession. It is because of his remarkable skills and considerable care and attention that I was home and walking in our beautiful countryside just 48 hours after he had performed a partial nephrectomy to my right kidney. I shall forever be indebted to this outstanding surgeon. He is a star - correction: 5 stars!!

I am incredibly grateful and appreciative of the surgery and care shown to me by Mr. Anderson. My health issues were very carefully and exactly explained to me, all of my questions were answered, and thankfully, the surgery was very successful. I was very, very impressed throughout.

My GP told me he would put his life in his hands. Chris sounds like a doctor with experience and answered all questions efficiently and in detail with visual explanation of the problem and what he was going to do to rectify it. He is obviously respected and I can understand why. Each morning in hospital post procedure he visited to find out how I was progressing and gave me confidence in his manner that I could put my trust in him.
