I suffered severe pain in my back and leg which made waking very painful and was extremely restricting of my lifestyle as I enjoyed regular exercise. When acupuncture and physiotherapy provided no relief, I was referred to Mr. Gnanalingham. He, after tests, quickly diagnosed the problem and the subsequent treatment eliminated the pain allowing life to return to normal. His diagnosis and treatment was expertly delivered to have had such a profound and immediate benefit. I have found ManchesterNeuro very efficient in arranging appointments and their administration and communication excellent, with a response invariably received within 24 hours. My short stay at the Alexandra hospital was without any problems, the quality of care being good. I would not hesitate in recommending Mr. Gnanalingham and ManchesterNeuro.

I have been in Mr Gnanalingham's care on 2 separate occasions for 2 separate procedures with consultations before and after. I can not recommend Mr Gnanalingham's care high enough, as on both occasions he and his staff have been fantastic and helpful all the way from start to end. Mr Gnanalingham has an excellent bedside manner on what is often a troubling and worrying time for a patient. On both occasions I was put at ease every step of the way. The professionalism of Mr Gnanalingham and his staff was of great value during my experiences, with help and advice being at hand whenever it was needed.

After an initial consultation and MRI scan with Mr Gnanalingham, my diagnosis and procedure was swift and extremely effective. I have since made a full recovery and cannot recommend his skill, help and care any more highly. A special note also to Mr Gnanalingham’s PA, Vaani, who deserves special recognition for her professionalism throughout my time.

I thank Mr Gnanalingham for all he has done to elevate the the pain I was experiencing on a daily basis he has given me my life back. I was suffering from a L4/L5 grade 1 degenerative slip and lateral recess narrowing causing back pain and neuropathy pain down my right leg and foot. This was debilitating on a daily basis being an equestrian I was unable to complete any daily tasks without help. His approachability, compassion, understanding and professionalism gave me the confidence and trust in him to go ahead with surgery after all the other options had failed. I was kept well informed of all aspects of my care and the support when needed was second to non, both pre op and post op, from his secretary and team. I am now out of pain and getting back to life again all thanks to Mr Gnanalingham. I would recommend his dedication expertise , understanding and professionalism to anyone needing his help in a heartbeat. Thank you.
