What can I say about this fantastic surgeon , he’s just lovely, he makes you feel at ease, doesn’t rush you, and you don’t mind waiting because you know he’s so thorough and goes through everything with you, he’s so popular, He’s removed my pituitary tumour, twice now. I can’t thank him enough, but most importantly he’s a kind caring man , a valuable asset to Salford royal.

I was referred to Mr Gnanalingham over 15 years ago.
The care that I have received from him has been unparalleled. The spinal
injections and my most recent back operation have all contributed to relieving my pain massively!
I cannot thank him enough. He continues to be kind, compassionate and incredibly supportive.

I recommend Mr Gnanalingham without reservation. I saw him urgently for a problem with a “drop foot” which I did not realise was a serious condition if not dealt with immediately. His thorough examination and MRI findings suggested surgery to my spine.
Thankfully because of his expertise he decided to treat me conservatively for a week rather than rush into surgical intervention. When I saw him again my symptoms were starting to resolve and I am making good progress without having to have spinal surgery. Truly a sign of an excellent surgeon.

Dr Gnanalingham is a good man. What he did for me was amazing. He made me feel at ease almost instantly about my diagnosis and treatment and i couldn't have asked for more from him and his team. Gave me a few extra years with my kids so i couldn't be happier either! Thanks again for everything.

I truly have great admiration for Mr. GANALINGHAM. Without him and his team my health and quality of life would not be great. He has given me an amazing opportunity to watch my children grow and be an active part of their lives.
From my very first appointment he made me feel comfortable. He is very trustworthy. Any future patients should count themselves lucky to be in such capable and professional hands.
