Reviews
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.
He listened to my concerns, prepared me well for my surgery. The surgery went really well, no problems and I recovered really quickly.
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.
Dr. Gnanachandran had done a laproscopic surgery and diagnosed me. He was always very willing to answer questions and ensure that I was comfortable and happy at all times, yet had been incredibly professional.
Mr Gnanachandran cared for my mum during a very worrying time. He was excellent at communicating with my mum and the whole family. She was put at ease and felt confident in him and his team. As family members, we found him to be extremely approachable and responsive to our questions and concerns. The care she has received has been exemplary.
