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.

Fantastic consultant, Mr Gnanachandran is kind and patient and very thorough. I felt very well looked after before, during & after my hysterectomy in November. An excellent man I recommend.

I would highly recommend Mr Gnanachandran. I was seen and diagnosed very quickly, enabling me to start effective treatment within a short timeframe. This has improved my condition rapidly and I was back to normal within weeks. I felt he listened and acknowledged my views and preferences and we jointly agreed the best options for me in terms of procedures and treatment. I appreciated him taking the time to do this and genuinely taking my feelings into consideration and I never felt rushed when making any decisions. He always had time to answer all the questions I had and provided all the information I requested in a way appropriate to my needs.
