I have the highest regard for Mr Gnanalingham and his team. First class care and treatment at Salford Royal. My wife had a craniotomy for a complex meningioma, his expertise and skill ensured that she was safe and had the treatment she needed. Always caring and professional, time for questions and gave full and detailed explanations of treatment plans. Thank you Mr Gnanalingham

I have recently had a craniotomy for a meningioma, Mr Gnanalingham was my consultant at Salford Royal. From the first time I met him, he was honest and transparent about my surgery. I felt confident in his knowledge and expertise, very personal, professional and caring and I would definitely recommend him and his team to other patients and their families. I will forever be grateful for his patience and support and undertaking my surgery.

Everything we're explained clearly then it was patient chance to ask questions so as to get that comforting feeling. I will continue to pray for Mr. Gnanalingham to be successful in whatever he does. I'm happy to be one of his patient.

I have been a patient of Mr Gnanalingham since 2008. He has performed surgery on my spine twice. He has empathy, and respect for me, makes me feel a valued individual, puts myself and my family at ease by clearly explaining my treatment and condition. He always listens to my concerns. He is always professional, pleasant and friendly with an excellent bedside manner. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my family and friends. Thank you so much Mr G.

Mr. Gnanalingham is a really lovely doctor. He explains things in such a way that it is easily understood by an ordinary person. He always has time to listen to any concerns I have had and makes you feel that you are an individual who he cares about.
