I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Mr. Gnanalingham, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
From my very first appointment, it was clear that Mr. Gnanalingham is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about his patients. His communication skills are excellent; he took the time to explain my condition in a clear and understandable way, outlining the best options for treatment. I felt fully informed and confident in the decisions we made together.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and caring neurologist, look no further than Mr. Gnanalingham. He has truly made a positive impact on my health, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of neurological care.
Thank you, Mr. Gnanalingham.

I was diagnosed with a prolapsed disc in my neck C5/6, C6/7, and if anyone has ever experienced this you'll know of the level of pain, distress and anxiety it causes. I was referred onto Mr Kanna Gnanalingham, who quickly diagnosed the condition, in concise and pragmatic way, together with procedural step by step of what could be done, how, and time-scales.
Throughout my care and surgery he was there every step of the way, explaining in detail what stage of the treatment I was at. He was patient, understanding and compassionate to my circumstances.
My surgery was successful and follow up thorough.
If your lucky enough to have Mr Kanna Gnanalingham as your surgeon you are in the best hands.
No hesitation in providing a reference to for this highly professional and very charming man.
I cannot thank him enough.
Kind Regards

After being in pain for so long, I was not able to sit for periods of time.
It was recommended that I see Mr Gnanalingham, I was super anxious as i didn't know what to expect.
Mr Gnanalingham put me at ease right away and went through my options with me.
I have now seen Mr Gnanalingham numerous times for my treatments for coccyx pain, What a kind, compassionate, understanding surgeon he is.
After my procedure, my life and mental health have greatly improved and I now feel i have my quality of life back.

Mr Gnanalingham has always provided me honest answers. He's always told me the truth about my condition and options of treatment available. This combined with his professional skill sets are the reason I would recommend him to anyone. His care in many ways saved my life and gave me back my vision and independence
