I met Dr Nana once @ NGH in his clinic after my GP urgently referred me to him. In a nutshell, l cannot thank this consultant enough. My situation was critical & he handled it in a such a manner l can't believe today. Quick referrals were done from.one department to another for surgery. I am.extremely grateful to him & please keep up the good work. I will definitely recommend his services to the others in need of GYNAE PROBLEMS. Once again THANK YOU.

I first visited Mr Gnanachandran over a year ago after being referred by my GP. I feel very comfortable during appointments. He really listens to you and any concerns that you may have. He will take his time to explain everything to you so that you understand. His approach is very kind and professional. Even after my surgery the quality of care has continued. I would definitely recommend Mr Gnanachandran.

After a large cyst being spotted in early pregnancy I was referred to Mr Gnana for further investigation. He knew it was a cyst straight away despite others suggesting it was just my bladder. Mr Gnana wanted to be sure of his diagnosis and perused with an MRI confirming a now giant cyst. My cyst was unfortunately growing at quite a rapid rate and Mr Gnana was always happy to answer all my questions and I wasn’t afraid to ask him anything, I was especially worried over this as I was pregnant and knew my baby was also growing. Surgery became the route to get rid of this cyst, I cannot thank Mr Gnana and his team enough for their efficiency and great care towards me and my unborn baby. I was exceptionally nervous before surgery but I felt fully informed by Mr Gnana of the procedure but also any changes that may have to happen once he was able to see inside. I fully trusted Mr Gnana and his experience to do what was best for me and my unborn baby. I’m four weeks in recovery and everything is healing well. An excellent Gynae Consultant.

I've met Mr Gnanachandran over a year ago, when I discovered I had 2 fibroids. His approach was very professional and even though it wasn't easy to get the surgery sooner due to current situation, he did all he could to keep me under investigation and finally got me booked for the procedure. I was explained the risks and benefits in detail and he helped me in making the right choice. Would highly recommend due to the high standards he is delivering the care for us, the patients. Many Thanks Mr Gnanachandran!
