Mr Gnanachandran gave great care, was skilful, gentle, and explained everything that was going on. He also went out of his way to be available to help me to to navigate NHS services and formalities.

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.

Dr Gnanachandran has been fantastic since my referral to Obs & Gynae. He was calming, confident and was able to answer all of my questions and put me at ease during both the consultation and scan appointment, and during the hysteroscopy procedure. I would highly recommend this doctor for great patient care.

Mr Gnana gave me exemplary care during a very difficult time. He is very honest and direct but also very caring, I always understood what was happening and felt like I had some agency in the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
