Reviews
Very knowledgeable and explains things in simple terms
Professional, balanced outlook
He was very through in explaining my condition, and I totally trusted him in what he said, and put my mind at rest, taking the worry off myself and my family.
Explained in great detail the problem with my overstretched bladder and confirmed very clearly the only way forward. Great help and helped me feel at ease.
Mr Anderson gave me full confidence before my operation (which was to remove a transplanted kidney, which having given me sixteen great years with no problems, had developed cancer) and excellent care following the operation. I could not have had better treatment.
At my follow up appointment at the clinic he gave me hope that I may, despite my age, be able to have another transplant should the opportunity arise. Good news indeed.

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.
