I saw Mr Gnanalingham in February due to ongoing back issues. Mr Gnanalingham is very approachable, polite and friendly. He organised a MRI Scan and nerve conduction tests. I then saw him a week later for the results. We decided to try a caudal injection into my back which has been a great success. Due to the lockdown both my follow up appointments were telephone consultations.
I highly recommend Mr Gnanalingham.

I found Mr Gnanalingham to be very approachable and personable. He listened and provided the information I needed prior to surgery and was there to discuss and answer questions at the post surgery appointments. He offered to phone my partner on the day of surgery, to inform how things had gone, and did this when I was in recovery. I have now had my follow up scan which shows it was a very successful operation and all is back to normal. Thank you.

I have recently been treated by Mr Gnanalingham at the BMI Alexandra Hospital. I find Mr Gnanalingham to be very knowledgeable and personable. He organised an MRI scan for me very quickly when I was experiencing pain in my neck, back and arms. He quickly diagnosed the issue and devised a treatment plan which has helped alleviate my symptoms. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr Gnanalingham has kept in touch with me on the telephone to see how I have been getting on. I am very appreciative of his help and support and would recommend him to others.
