Mr Anderson is caring and considerate and always makes me feel safe and cared for. This was the case when I was being treated for kidney cancer, and was very frightened, and was also true when I was recovering from the surgery he carried out. He always explained things to me, and gave the impression of having time to listen, and that it was important that he heard what I said, even when I knew he was in a hurry. Since then, I have continued to meet with him to discuss the results of scans, and have asked to see him every time, because he is so good at explaining things to me in a calm way, and recognises and acknowledges how scared I remain.

I am very grateful to Dr Anderson who visited me today. He clearly explained my case pointing out the outcome of my recent CT Thorax with contrast. We discussed my chronic kidney disease problem identifying the status of it and foreseeing ways on how to keep it under control. Thank you.

My elderly parents attended Mr Anderson's clinic for several consultations regarding a possible problem my father's kidneys. They both commented on how much they had appreciated the doctor's manner. They found him easy to understand, friendly, kind, courteous, straightforward and clear in his delivery of the information.
