Reviews
Mr Anderson came highly recommended by a mutual friend (in the medical profession) whose opinion I trust implicitly. My experience bears this out. Mr Anderson has a very straightforward manner which immediately instils confidence in his diagnosis and judgement of what is the best way to proceed for the patient. Given that he performed a major operation on me my post-operative recuperation has been remarkably quick and painless.
Particularly good at listening to client insight and self-analysis and taking this into account.
Very strait forward and easy to talk to.....an expert in his field.
Good, straightforward explanations and advice in consultation with Mr Anderson. Internal urethrotomy well performed and care at Parkside very good. Follow-up consultation equally well conducted and careful decision made whether further treatment would be necessary.
Mr Anderson has a really great personality. He was very friendly and approachable. He was easy to talk to and had a good sense of humour.
Fortunately, I received good news so my appointment was only short.
I was glad to have the opportunity to thank him for performing my operation and my recovery went well. I had no problems with any of the incisions and the nurse removed the clips without any problem at all.
Although the need for this operation was unexpected the care I received both before and after the operation was excellent. I believe I was extremely fortunate to have had Mr Anderson perform the operation and to have received such a high standard of post operative care.
