He is a trustworthy and experienced doctor who has saved me from the worst. After Nephrectomy, I was looking forward to seeing him at 6:30 am every day in the hospital's bed.

Mr Anderson performed a bladder neck incision on me in February 2018. The resulting improvement in bladder function was amazing - certainly better than in the last 30 years! Throughout the process, from initial examination, diagnosis, proposed treatments, and then surgery, I found him to be excellent, not only in the quality of his advice and work, but also in the way in which he followed up every stage, especially post-operative. Some 18 months later, I can report that I have had no problems and continue to be delighted at the transformation.
