Mr Gnanachandran is an expert in his field and I had complete confidence in him treating me. He was open and honest before my operation about the risks of me having cancer and explaining the treatment plan. He immediately after the operation reassured me as to how the operation had gone. I have healed well from the surgery and my scar is very neat. Thankful that I was in safe hands through what has been a difficult period in my life with a positive outcome.

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.
