I liked his overall approach - he started by asking me all sort of questions to ensure he knew a bit about me generally, before rushing in to discuss the particular issue that had led to my making an appointment with him. He listened carefully. He was polite and neither intrusive nor uncaring. His overall tone was completely appropriate. When it came to discussing my particular issue, he gave me good background / overall information in advance of my having a scan etc and then, when I came back to discuss the results, he was informative and clear - about the findings and suggestions as to what to do / not to do going forward. I believe he was also careful to ensure that I had understood what was being said and was more than happy for more to ask further questions etc. I had confidence and trust in him.

Very Professional. Excellent bedside manner. Answered all my questions in a clear, concise manner. Successful removal of kidney and growths within. Minimal discomfort and rapid recovery from surgery at Princess Grace Hospital. Practice Manager Janine is super efficient in all aspects of her role. I'm indebted to Chris and his team. Many thanks.

Profile

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.
