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.

I was referred to Mr Gnanachandran by my GP in the Autumn of 2020 on a 2 week pathway . Mr Gnanachandran put my mind at ease and recommend a TAH BSO Hysterectomy.. The hospital was at the time dealing with a pandemic and had to change their working practises, this did not impact the excellent level of care and attention I received at appointments & follow up correspondence. I had my operation in April and recovering well. Mr Gnanachandran and his team can only be commended for their level of knowledge, skill and professionalism.
