The care, before, during and after has been excellent and i would recommend Mr Gnanalingham to anyone. He really cares for his patients and it matters the outcome which you cant say for some doctors. Very happy with the service i received and all my fears were put to rest in the hands of Mr Gnanalingham.

I am writing this testimonial to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for the exceptional care I have received and continue to receive under Mr Gnanalingham's expertise as my neurosurgeon. Your commitment to my well-being and outstanding skills have made a significant impact on my life, and I feel compelled to share my experience with others.
From the moment I first met you, I was impressed by your professionalism and genuine concern for my health. Your extensive knowledge and experience in the field of neurosurgery (and I did my research) were evident as you carefully explained my diagnosis and the available treatment options. You took the time to address all my concerns and answered my questions with utmost clarity, ensuring that I fully understood the procedures and potential risks involved.
What truly sets you apart was your compassion and empathy. You have always made me feel at ease during every encounter, providing me with the reassurance and support I needed. Your warm and caring demeanour instilled confidence in your abilities as a neurosurgeon.
You have always maintained open lines of communication, keeping me informed every step of the way. Your willingness to listen and your patience in explaining complex medical concepts in a manner that I could easily grasp is truly remarkable. It is evident that you genuinely care about my well-being and want me to be an active participant in my own treatment journey.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the exceptional support provided by your assistant - Mrs Vaani Navaratnam. Her dedication, professionalism, and efficiency at your practice and the hospital are truly commendable. From the initial consultation to the follow-up appointments, I consistently felt welcomed and well-cared for.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend you as a neurosurgeon to anyone in need of exceptional medical care. Your expertise, compassion, and dedication to your patients are exemplary. I am grateful to have had the privilege of being under your care, and I am confident that others who choose you as their neurosurgeon will experience the same level of excellence that I did.
Once again, thank you for everything you have done for me. Your commitment to your profession and your patients is truly inspiring, and I am deeply grateful.
Warmest regards,
Mary Lindsey

I had spinal surgery in September 2022 at the Alexander Hospital and was relieved of the terrible pain I was having in both legs from my lower back down my legs.
Mr Kanna Gnanalingham was a charming gentleman and I trusted him with this operation as a friend of mine had also had surgery with him.
He has given me my pain free life back.

I can't believe how this surgeon made me feel so relaxed and confident about his ability to preform this serious operation. The team that work with him were also very confident which helped me to feel safe in their hands. If anybody was unfortunate to need this operation I can only hope for them that they end up on Mr Gnanalingham's table.
