Mr Gnanachandran was my consultant/surgeon after I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. I found him very approachable, professional, conscientious and kind with a good sense of humour - would highly recommend to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. Surgery and aftercare at Northampton General Hospital and the care throughout was superb.

Refered as NHS patient, never queried my choices, listened to my concerns and managed to perform laparoscopic hysterectomy, the only consultant that I have had that didn’t dismiss my issues as just Heavy periods

I had a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy with Mr Gnanachandran. From the start he explained things carefully and clearly, and made sure that I fully understood what was involved.
He managed to arrange surgery on a date that fitted in with a complication in my personal circumstance.
Directly after surgery he rang my husband to let him know that all went well. He saw me a couple of times before I was discharged from hospital and also rang me about a week after surgery to check all was well.
The care I received from Mr Gnanachandran and the team was second to none and I can not thank them enough for the care I received.
