From my first meeting everything was explained clearly and precisely. From Mr Gnanalingham through to the specialist nurse and the whole team, prior and post operation. Any questions were dealt with sympathetically and responded to very quickly. I have now been discharged but if I had to go back in the future, would do so with zero trepidation and total confidence.

I underwent surgery for a pituitary tumor on the twenty ninth of March 2019.
The surgery was performed at the Salford Royal Hospital by Mr K Gnanalingham,
In my opinion a truly exceptional surgeon. I underwent endoscopic surgery through
the right nasal passage, through the sinus to the base of the skull and the removal of
the tumor from the underside of the pituritary gland. I underwent the surgery and was allowed home the day after, having had no after effects or any bruising whatsoever from the operation.I have received excellent aftercare from Mr Gnanalingham's
team and the doctors and staff of the Salford Royal Hospital.
I would highly recommend Mr Gnanalingham, his team and the hospital staff at Salford Royal NHS foundation trust.

I can honestly say the treatment I received from Mr Gnanalingham was 100%. He is
a gentleman, he exsplains everything to you. Also tells you all the options there is and
listens to you without rushing you. I have had didcs prolems on and off for 10 years
and had treatment under the NHS when needed. Because I was due to go on holiday
and was in a lot of pain I opted to go privately. From my 1st appointment and having
MRI scan I was having a spinal injection in less than 2 weeks. Thank you Mr Gnanalingham and also Vaani who is a lovely helpful lady.

I have met with Mr Gnanlingham several times over the past couple of years regarding a long standing back problem. I have always found him to be extremely personable, professional, and generous with his time. I have always left with a good understanding of the next point of medical care, without ever having felt patronised, and, since having undergone steroid injections under his care, have experienced considerable relief from my symptoms.
