Honest and concise and sympathetic without being .cloying. He came highly recommended from a family friend who had worked with him at St George’s. Very clear on the medical issues. I will be set him again.

Really nice doctor. Saw him about a personal problem and he made me feel comfortable. Didn’t feel rushed. Took his time to speak to me and understand my problem and gave a clear explanation to me.

I was recommended to Chris after a tumour was found on my kidney. No one quite knew what we were dealing with but after scans and discussions major surgery using a Da Vinci Robot was chosen as the best way to proceed. The lead up to surgery was somewhat stressful but Chris and his Secretary Janine went beyond the call of duty to answer my questions and allay my fears, even culminating in reassuring phone calls over the Christmas break which I was enjoying in Dubai with my daughter. Once admitted to The Princess Grace Hospital surgery happened immediately and as far as I am aware was completed efficiently and successfully. Chris went out of his way to visit and ring me to check on my progress during my hospital stay and at all times he was available on the phone to chat through any worries. Despite a few minor post surgery setbacks Chris offered the very best advice and encouragement for a speedy recovery and I have no hesitation in recommending the professional service I enjoyed from him. Oh and by the way the whole traumatic experience had a very happy ending so thank you very much Chris, Janine and their entire team.

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.
