The care and attention I received as a patient at Northampton General Hospital in the gynaecology department has been amazing. Mr Gnanachandran is absolutely excellent. From the biopsy through to the operation he was straightforward, gave clear explanations and was reassuring. He also took the time to telephone my husband after the operation, which was very much appreciated. The whole experience was handled very professionally and promptly. Thank you so much to the whole team involved in my care. I can never thank you enough.

I have been under the care of Mr Gnanachandran for a while. I’ve just come out having had my operation and can say he’s been brilliant. Everything has been as good as it could be and he’s been perfect, kind and caring from start to finish. I’m so grateful for his brilliant care as so far I’m feeling perfect. I would thoroughly recommend him.

I have been suffering for years due to my endometriosis. Dr Gnanachandran has been fantastic throughout my surgery process, and post surgery. I have been under great care since, I am very grateful to be in such safe hands. Couldn’t thank you enough.

I saw Mr Gnanachandran face to face during late September and I am truly grateful that I am under his care. It is the first time in many years that someone listened to my symptoms (and believed me) and gave me a positive plan of action. I am now recovering from surgery and although things were more complicated than expected I have no doubt that Mr Gnanachandran will see me through my recovery and any other procedures I need to have to a get a good outcome. He has a very calm manner and I feel very positive moving forward. I would not hesitate to recommend others seek out Mr Gnanachandran for their care. I would also add that all of the nursing staff were brilliant at Three Shires, and they gave me excellent care during my 24 hour stay.

I was taken into hospital as an emergency, with a fibroid and other complications. Thank goodness I was admitted into the care of Mr Gnanachandran and his team. Both he and the team helped me through a TAH & BSO. My complications were challenging, however referrals to the various departments were dealt with so quickly and efficiently. Mr Gnanachandran is an excellent Gynaecologist, who is very caring, considerate and approachable. I want to thank him and his team for all their wonderful care. I am now on the road to recovery. I would not hesitate in recommending Mr Gnanachandran.
