Dr. Gnanachandran is a gynae doctor i will highly recommend to anyone, and if am to choose a doctor i will not hesitate in choosing him.
I was refered to him by my Gp and he and his team did a grate job in attending to me. I was refered to him for a fibriod surgrey ,Dr. Gnana took his time to explain and give me the best option as per my condition.

GP referral to the Gynae. Dept at Northampton General Hospital- re:- a relatively short history of vaginal discharge and bleeding. The G.P said that further investigation would be required, initially as an out patient by a nurse specialist followed by an appointment with a consultant should it be necessary. The Gynae consultations were dealt with in a logical manner and I was kept informed either by phone or letter. The appointment with the Consultant, Mr Chellappa Gnanachandran was unhurried, whilst he explained that abnormalities had been detected and explained the options open to me. I was given plenty of time to say what I felt would be the best option given my age. I am now post- op and will be seen again either in the Gynae. Clinic or by phone depending on the need for further action. I am most grateful for the consideration and kindness I experienced under the care of Mr Gnanachandran and the staff in the Gynae Dept.

I needed an urgent hysterectomy which during the COVID-19 pandamic was particularly worrying. Mr Gnanachandran treated me well, talked me through the procedure and explained the risks all with good humour. I had the operation on a Tuesday afternoon and went home the following day. I have healed quickly with minimal pain and when I did have a slight infect Mr Gnanachandran and his team treated that promptly. I would totally recommend this surgeon and his team, thank you so very much.

I cannot thank Dr Gnanachandran enough!
I was very lucky to be referred to him following years of pain with end and PCOS. For the first time, someone listened to me and didn't fob me off with more pain killers.
He took a lot of time discussing the options with me and my husband. I had 2 more appointments to make sure surgery was the best option.
I went ahead and had a total hysterectomy in March 2020 at Northampton hospital, it could not have gone better. I felt calm as the staff were reassuring and thorough.
Now, 2 months later I can't believe I suffered for so long before meeting this dr.
I have my life back. Thank you.
