Hello,
Gnanachandran is an amazing doctor who really put my family and myself at ease throughout my surgery and post surgery, too. Initially, I needed surgery because I had a cyst, which was measuring to 8-12 cm. It was then confirmed that I was diagnosed with severe endometriosis, which had spread to other organs. I was very worried about my health and future in terms of fertility and fears about surgery, etc. Gnanachandran reassured me about everything and kept me positive about the surgery. He went into a lot of detail with regards to different ways of getting pregnant, as well as managing my endometriosis. Never once did he make me feel alone or like I wasn't being heard. Also, after the surgery, which went successful, he offered different treatment plans in order to manage my endometriosis. After agreeing to a treatment, my health improved drastically. It has now been 7 months, and I am back to normal, experiencing no pain and also looking forward to a bright future. I liked how Gnanachandran was very empathetic and expressed honesty to me throughout my whole journey. I am very pleased to say that he was my doctor and would highly recommend him to everyone who is going through any issues similar to myself. He is very professional and kind, which goes a long way, especially in such a daunting time for people who are experiencing difficulty!

I was very lucky to be treated by Mr Gnanachandran. From my first scan, to the diagnostic surgery, my treatment was very fast paced and I could not fault it. I felt that my anxieties were addressed, so much so that on the day of my surgery I felt comfortable and confident. I believe Mr Gnanachandran has done such a good job, my recovery was faultless and the symptoms I used to experience have decreased massively. I am very thankful, and hope that should I experience any other problems due to my diagnosis of Endometriosis, I am lucky enough to be under the care of Mr Gnanachandran.

Mr Gnana has been my consultant for the last 5 years after I was diagnosed with endometriosis. He has performed surgery on me three times and each time I have felt wholly confident and reassured in his ability to provide me with the very best care. After my first operation, I was successful in falling pregnant after three years of infertility due to my endometriosis. In my most recent surgery, a full hysterectomy, Mr Gnana performed complicated surgery via keyhole to also remove endometriosis and I have been left pain free after years of issues. I cannot recommend him enough and thank him everything he has done to improve my life.
