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.

Dr Gnanachandran was really patient and explained everything very well. He diagnosed the endometriosis really quick and we proceeded with surgery , before that we talked all the option and gave me full support in my decision. He did a great surgery and my recovery was great . I definitely recommend Dr Gnanachandran he is one of the best specialists.
