Reviews
Mr Anderson listens to the patient very carefully and takes time and effort to fully understand what the patient’s symptoms and concerns are. This allows one to fully evaluate the advice and recommendations he gives and permits a dialogue to be developed between the patient and the doctor. He is clear, precise and easy to understand. He manner is confident and capable which reassures that he has given adequate consideration to what the patient’s needs are.
I was well cared for after my operation with daily visits by Mr Anderson and I had no post-operative pain at all.
My Anderson performed my operation and it was done to a very high standard.
Mr Anderson is a very kind and caring doctor. I am forever grateful to him for making me better.
Mr Anderson took a great deal of time with me post-op, he answered my many and varied questions succinctly and informatively. He is a credit to his profession and if he ever decides to change profession he would make a fortune as a stand-up comedian!
Completely satisfied with the care/treatment
Chris was first rate in every aspect of my treatment; from initial consultation, through diagnosis, treatment to eventual cure.
