Reviews
Mr Anderson seems extremely competent. I struck up an instant rapport with him. I would certainly recommend him to anyone I knew who had problems relevant to his speciality.
Mr Anderson has so far been very thorough which i appreciate and has been very patient in explaining everything as we have been progressing - this has helped reassure me that i am in safe, capable hands and trust the advice.
Mr Anderson is friendly, punctual, gave full answers to all questions asked. The procedure I am having was very comprehensively explained with pictures to ensure I totally understood everything. I feel confident in his abilities even after only meeting him for the first time.
He explained my diagnosis clearly and straightforwardly and gave a firm recommendation based on his experience as to what I should do.
I would highly recommend Mr Anderson as a urologist. I had a number of consultations with him during which he listened carefully to my concerns, consulted on a course of action to investigate whether there was a cause for concern and then relayed back the outcome of the investigations in a reassuring manner. At all times Mr Anderson took care to explain, and ensure that I understood, how urology problems might manifest and how these could be treated with the patient's best interests in mind. I will trust Mr Anderson with any future urology consultations that I require.
