Mr Kanna Gnanalingham

Written by a NHS patient at The Alexandra Hospital - part of Circle Health Group

I was suffering with sharp thigh pain. An orthopaedic specialist insisted it was merely a thigh strain. Physiotherapy did not help and eventually I was referred to Mr G. What a difference! He immediately recognised a back issue which was radiating into the thigh and successfully treated it. I could now stand upright and was pain-free, a revelation. Mr G’s care, both before and after my operation, was exceptional. He was greatly assisted by his PA/Secretary, Vaani, who was always available. Nothing was too much bother, and I cannot thank them enough.

Since November 2023 I have been under the care of Mr Kanna Gnanalingham at The Alexandra Hospital, Cheadle, Manchester. I have had a L5/S1 discectomy operation to relieve severe back and sciatica symptoms. From my initial meeting with Mr Gnanalingham I felt completely at ease, knowing full well I had made the correct decision. Every process that I experienced from consultations and scans, to surgery and aftercare was encountered with the uttermost professionalism, giving me complete confidence in him, his team and his wonderful PA Vaani. Never once was I left I had to question anything knowing full well each step of this medical journey was met with expertise and reassurance. In reviewing my experience I would fully recommend Mr Gnanalingham and his team to anybody requiring any nature of spinal treatment as I can confirm they would be in the safest hands with the best consultant.

“Exceptional Care and Rapid Recovery” I had the privilege of being under the care of Mr Kanna Gnanalingham for my spinal surgery, and I cannot express my gratitude enough. From the very first consultation, he showed empathy, calmness, and reassurance, creating an environment where I felt completely at ease. The time from consultation to operation was remarkably quick. Mr Gnanalingham's efficiency ensured that I received timely treatment, which significantly contributed to my recovery. Mr Gnanalingham genuinely listened to my concerns and fears. His ability to understand the emotional impact of my condition made a world of difference during a challenging time. His reassuring demeanour provided immense comfort. He patiently explained the procedure, addressing any doubts or anxieties I had. Thanks to the successful operation, my quality of life has vastly improved. I am pain-free and able to resume daily activities. I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Vaani, Mr Gnanalingham's personal assistant. She was incredibly organized, caring, and always quick to respond—even during out-of-hours. Her efficiency and dedication complemented Mr Gnanalingham's exceptional care, making my entire experience seamless. His commitment to patient well-being and clinical excellence is commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking neurological care. Thank you, Mr. Gnanalingham and Vaani, for making a significant impact on my life!

Mr Kanna Gnanalingham was recommended to me by my Chiropractor to investigate a ‘Foot Drop’ condition that I had developed. An initial consultation, quickly followed by an MRI scan revealed lumbar radiculopathy. A surgical procedure was discussed but a plan of conservative management and recommended exercise was decided upon. Further consultations (in clinic and remotely by web-based technology) and a second MRI scan took place to monitor the situation. The condition has improved considerably and the surgical option deemed unnecessary. I have been very pleased with my treatment whilst under Mr Gnanalingham’s care. Communication throughout has been clear, concise and presented in a professional and friendly manner. Administrative arrangements have been likewise expertly handled by his efficient and friendly PA. I would have no hesitation in returning to Mr Gnanalingham in the event of any future recurrence and have no reservations in recommending him to others.

I saw Mr Gnanalingham due to a disc problem in my back causing severe sciatica. From the moment I met him I felt completely at ease and trusted his judgment. From my scan, through surgery and aftercare both Mr Gnanalingham and Vaani, his PA, were fabulous with me and I strongly recommend this very experienced team.
