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.

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.
