Mr Gnanalingham is always understanding, caring and professional. I knew what he was going to do to me and the information was presented in a way I could understand.

I was referred to Mr Gnanalingham for constant pain in my left shoulder, tingling and numbness in my left hand. On our first meet he was very welcoming, listened to me and set the ball rolling for investigation. After various tests, scans an operation was needed on my neck which he talked through thoroughly and put me very much at ease. The operation went well and I couldn't of asked for anymore from all those who cared for me - Thank You. I would highly recommend Mr Gnanalingham.

Mr Gnanalingham has been my mums consultant for the last 7 years.From her initial consultation, which I attended as well,her surgery and subsequent follow up management, Mr Gnanalinghams care has been absolutely outstanding.His caring and compassionate manner and the way he communicates with his patients should be used as a training video for any member of the NHS/private sector, and how to aspire to be like him.

Having suffered survere headaches I was referred to Salford Royal to find I had a Brain Tumer ‘Acromegaly Macroadenoma’ 1.2mm in The Pituitary Gland. With Suffering most of the side effects for many months. Then going through all the scans & tests meeting various Doctors envolved in the process, hardly waiting anytime to be seen on appointment times. I have now had the Key Hole operation 28/10/17. The whole episode what I thought would be so scary WAS NOT from start to finish with Mr Gnanalingham & the whole team, aftercare, nurses, & all the background staff.
I cannot thank you enough. It has not felt like l was in Hospital but instead with a lot of friendly caring people, with one objective . To make you feel Better. I certainly do & now going home ‘Tumour Free’ to a very happy family.
Thank-You Mr Gnanalingham & ALL your Team
