I have the highest regard for Mr. Gnanalingham who is a kind and compassionate doctor, a great listener and has a calm and reassuring manner .
I was recently under his care for pituitary surgery. The whole team made me feel relaxed and I felt in very safe hands, .
Mr. Gnanalingham is a good communicator and takes special care to inform relatives of progress post operatively.
I know my relatives appreciated this very much.
I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Gnanalingham as an exceptional surgeon and a caring dedicated doctor.
Many thanks to him and his excellent team.

I was referred to Mr Gnanalingham 3 years ago when first diagnosed. From our first meeting, the care and attention we have received from Mr G has been excellent - providing me with all the information I needed, clear and pragmatic explanations of the diagnosis and options available, whilst reassuring me at every step. Appointments are always relaxed, informative and never rushed - Mr G is always happy to take time to answer all my questions and queries. The care and attention I received from him and the team at Salford before, during and after surgery has been exemplary.
