Hello there. I have been a patient with Dr Gnanachandran and the Nurses of Three Shires Hospital, Northampton. I cannot pick any faults with the how I was treated and looked after. The service and care they provided was absolutely excellent 10/10. Mr. Gnanachandran was all very explanatory with the treatment I was receiving for my condition, even the surgery process I had, which was a subtotal hysterectomy. I am still recovering from my surgery, which was done on the 9th of February 2024. I am much happier without the pain and all the discomfort I was having before my procedure done. I felt very safe and in good hands and I would highly recommend him and all the staff at Three Shires Hospital.

Mr Gnanachandran was kind, attentive and flexible in his consultations and it always felt like he was 'on your side'. He worked with me on options which eventually led to a total hysterectomy, about which I am really pleased to say went really well. I am delighted to now be in much better health than I have been for several years. Mr Gananachandran sees you as a whole person not just a condition, his care was fantastic.

I am seeing Dr Gnanachandran regarding potential PCOS after years of worry. He was thorough throughout, reassuring and in regular contact via email/telephone when I was worried about a potential outcome. (A personal service he didn’t need to necessarily do). I would recommend him to anyone as a specialist gynaecologist, I have an open return appointment within 6 months which has given me peace of mind.
