About Me
Consulting with Expertise and Passion
Since 2007, I’ve been providing professional consulting services to private clients from all over the Western Cape. From strategic planning to innovative patient centered solutions, my focus is always offering excellent quality, cost effective management of all my clients. Client management is directed by international standards and best practice. Contact us for vascular assessment and or treatment.
Non invasive surgical options
Many vascular pathologies can be treated without formal surgery, using specially designed balloon (angioplasty) or scaffolding (stents) to improve blood flow.
Tests (angiography) give me a good idea of where the blockage is, if it is treatable with non invasive (not in theatre) methods or if more extensive surgery is required to restore blood flow to the affected extremity (leg or arm).
In room tests
Many non invasive tests can be performed in the rooms. These include an arterial doppler assessment for peripheral vascular disease and diabetic foot problems
Venous duplex doppler for venous stasis ulcers and complex varicose vein problems.
Vascular ultrasound screening for carotid artery stenosis, Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (these can be life threatening if not treated)
TPCO2 tests are also conducted for chronic wounds to determine the oxygen levels in the tissue of the affected limb (leg or arm).
Vascular Surgical Options
Surgical treatment for stroke or high-risk clients (carotid endarectormy).
Vascular access for renal dialysis patients for treatment with haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
Venous ablation or venous stripping for varicose veins.
Arterial bypass surgery for patients for Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD).
Repairs to the arteries or veins which occurred from trauma related injuries.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery to repair aortic dissections which can be life-threatening.
Testimonials
What’s Being Said
Where do I begin?! From the very 1st operation Dr Anderson performed surgery on me in 2019, he's been so kind and always ensuring I was okay & that each procedure was carefully explained to me. In 2020 he performed 4 procedures during the 1st covid wave. Then last year in 2021 he came to my rescue again when I developed a hernia. He performed 5 procedures again. This yr he performed another 2. Dr Anderson is the most compassionate & caring surgeon I've ever came across. Thank you for always making me feel comfortable & reassuring me when I'm anxious or scared.
