I felt complete confidence in Mr Anderson from the first consultation. He is experienced, professional, courteous, organised. I accepted on the spot his recommendation to fit a suprapubic catheter to relieve pressure on my bladder (due to benign enlarged prostate) and he fitted this successfully in a hospital operation three weeks later. He made sure that I had access to the necessary bags and equipment to use the catheter and in a further consultation explained how to keep everything clean and avoid infection. I am expecting that Mr Anderson will carry out the substantive surgery on my prostate later this summer.

Mr Anderson is clearly a leading specialist: in addition he has excellent communication skills and he is a kind, caring, gentle person. He has championed keyhole surgery in his field in the UK and his clinical and surgical expertise is second to none. His administrative staff matches the excellence of the medical side of his activities. His secretary is highly efficient, well-informed about procedures, helpful and very friendly. Mr Anderson's practice is a model to others.

An excellent and sympathetic surgeon who is very good at his job.In my case a cicrcumcision for a sever phimosis. He sticks to the point, is direct and sympathetic without being cloying. I would recommend him very highly. He was mentioned to me by a former administrator at St George's Hospital who said he was an excellent surgeon. I agree. HIs anaesthetist was excellent too.

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.
