I had a bad fall in my farm yard and hit my head on the stone pavings. I was taken to the outpatients emergency at the Alexandra hospital Cheadle. I saw Dr Kankab, who suggested I saw Mr Gnanalingham. Amazingly I was seen by him within the hour. Mr Gnanalingham personally arranged for me to have a CT scan and saw me the following day with the results. Thankfully there was no internal bleeding and was just a matter of concussion. I was very impressed with Mr Gnanalingham. He was very caring, and explained everything in detail, and I thank him very much.

Mr Gnanalingham consistently delivered excellent care after I herniated 2 discs in my lower back. Always available for any query I had even on weekends and evenings
Mr Gnanalingham was supportive of my personal choice and explained all my options in an understandable and patient manner.
I chose to have a discectomy and from check in to discharge I received excellent care delivered with a much appreciated sense of humour.
I would not hesitate to recommend him
As an aside all his costs were covered by my BUPA policy with no surplus charges.

I met Mr Gnanalingham in 2015 when I was first diagnosed with a cavernous tumour.He has been so kind and very informative about procedures and operations explaining fully and if I was unsure he would make sure I left the consultation knowing what was going to happen both before and after.He is GREAT :)
