Mr Gnana provided me with excellent care. He listened carefully to all of my symptoms and experiences. He was respectful and considerate during examinations. He gave me clear advice. explaining clearly the options, recommendations, risks and recovery. My keyhole surgery went smoothly and I recovered well, in line with his expectations. He also gave good advice about HRT. I'd happily recommend Mr Gnana to anyone needing gynaecological help.

I was referred to Dr.Gnanachandran and it was the best gift of my life! For thirty years I have been struggling with very heavy and difficults periods. Heavy bleeding, pain that made it impossible to function normally, and anemia. So far, doctors have not tried to help me and understand this long suffering. Until I got to Dr. Gnanachandran, who listened to me, explained everything as it should be and informed me about possible threats /complications. He took his time for me. I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy which was successful.The whole team took great care of me and I felt that I was in good hands.I got the guidelines that I followed very much ... I waited so long for this operation that everything had to be as it should be. I started to recover quickly and in good shape. Today I am the happiest woman on earth. My only regret is that I didn't get to know the doctor much earlier. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gnanachandran and his team. ''Doctor, you've given me a new life, a life without constant pain''. Thank You so much.I cordially greet the doctor and the whole team, Dotty.

Fantastic consultant. Very thorough and made me aware of everything from the very start, advantages and disadvantages of me having a full hysterectomy at 35. I had full trust in him and felt relieved I finally had someone who took me seriously and wanted to help. He conducted every appointment with upmost respect and I always felt comfortable with him. After the operation he was caring and ensured I had treatment I needed to support my early menopause. I will be forever thankful for what Dr Gnanachandran has done for me and I look forward to being able to move on with my life.

Great level of care from Mr Gnanachandran. Very pleased with his caring and understanding attitude which continued throughout the pandemic. Clear explanations always given and I appreciated his concerns about my health long term when deciding on surgery options. Good bedside manner and felt comfortable with all his examinations. Had TAH with both ovaries removed in April 2021. Recovery going as planned and I look forward to my follow up knowing I will receive the best care from him. Would absolutely recommend him to others.
