Reviews
Straightforward and tells it how it is.
Mr Anderson is helping me through some tricky times, dealing with a case of bladder cancer that is uncommon in some ways. He continues to guide me through the various obstacles and complications and is always available to answer my questions and concerns via email and telephone as required. He is polite, professional and clear on what my options and outcomes are. I will continue to work with him as he helps me find a path to deal with my medical issues.
Dr Anderson was confident, knowledgable and reassuring.
Highly knowlegable, does his best to reassure you. Gives good medical advice. Caring. Very happy with service
Listened carefully to what I had to say. Never made me feel like my symptoms weren’t important and took what I said seriously. Acted quickly and with assertiveness and all done in a pleasant way.

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.
