I found Mr Anderson very easy to talk to, and more importantly I felt that he really listened to my concerns and acted upon them. What could have been an awkward experience, felt natural and easy to cope with. I certainly would recommend him to anybody.

I found Dr Anderson to be friendly, welcoming and reassuring from the moment I walked into the consultation room. He made what I thought would be an awkward conversation to have, into something very straight forward and comfortable to have.

Mr Anderson was excellent in every way. He listened to all I said, then gave his diagnosis, explaining everything clearly and inviting questions as he went, and made clear all future options. Courteous and sympathetic, and I would trust him unquestionably.
