Reviews
Mr Anderson is highly qualified physician with an outstanding record in research publications: this of course means that he is fully up-to-date about diagnostics and therapy in his field. He is a cultured, friendly, modest, articulate gentleman with an excellent sense of humour. His understated, polite manners will put even very anxious patients at ease. His presentation of his findings/diagnosis/advice is comprehensive and clear. Unlike many of his colleagues, he does not rush patients out of his office if they have further concerns or questions. His secretary is a helpful and highly-qualified lady: she is efficient, helpful and thoroughly knowledgeable regarding Mr Anderson's work.
Mr Anderson is a model for others in his profession to follow
great doctor - very calm and composed
Dr Anderson explained in simple terms what was wrong with me . By then putting this into context of my overall health for my age he totally reassured me.
Very approachable person and reassuring person. Polite, not rushing and able to explain to patients who haven't got medical background all the details by using simple terms.
Also great sense of humour.
Chris is very up front and I like that. He has a friendly yet professional demeanour. I felt comfortable in sharing my thoughts and concerns which he addressed as well as he could have without having had any reports from investigations. He utilized his connections with his urology colleagues, to arrange a ureteroscopy. I have no hesitation in recommending him. Please note, I am NOT old, I am 64 years young! I think it would be more appropriate to ask "What is your age?" as opposed to asking "How old are you?" in this or any other review on this website. Thank you
