Reviews
I was referred to Mr Anderson after having symptoms on and off for roughly one year and being referred to several different medical specialists who all provided different diagnosis resulting in a lot of tests and prescribed medication which didn’t help. After a 5 minute initial session with Mr Anderson he had assured me that my symptoms were in fact all stress related and provided some simple techniques to deal with the issue and general advice. I would definitely recommend Mr Anderson.
Easy going, realistic.
Dr Anderson listened to all of my condition issues, carried out a thorough examination and arranged for a series of tests. Once the tests results were returned a detailed explanation and prognosis was given. General Urology health was also discussed and advise given .The whole process was carried out in a professional manor with good patient care.
Mr Anderson explained the various treatement options clearly and strightforwardly and made a reasoned and definite recommendation, which I was grateful for. His knowledge and experience were obvious and I was happy to trust his judgment. The surgery went well and I was told what to expect afterwards. He and his secretary were conscientious in arranging follow up consultations.
He explained the options extremely well and his confidence inspired me. I new I was in safe hands.
