I have great faith in both his skill and advice. This is mm second “partial knee replacement” the first was miraclous and the second very effective and remarkably free from most pain associated with this sort of operation. I don’t know why more of this type of knee replacement procedures are not used? 3 weeks on and I’m crutch free! Thank you.

Mr Anderson gave reassurance about the procedure ( the pluses & possible minus issues). Excellent Communicator. Would have no hesitation in recommending others to use his expertise. In fact that's how I became known to him ( by word of mouth)

I had struggled with knee pain for 8 weeks, not being able to bend it and in bed it was very painful. I booked into see Mr Anderson for a consultation and he immediately gave me a diagnosis . I then went to Thornbury for the operation and had the procedure described to me as I viewed it on a screen . 8 weeks later I saw Mr Anderson for the final consultation and told him I was now pain free walking and cycling . I would definitely recommend Mr Anderson for his skill and compassion .
