I had surgery by him last year, it was my best Christmas gift since I received the news at the end of November. I had laproscopic surgery by the NHS after 3 years of suffering with enormous pain I can say that I am happy again. Thank you doctor for your Professionalism!

I couldn't be happier to have found Mr Gnanachandran. He performed a laparoscopy on me in '21, was very approachable and thoughtful. He supported me through miscarriages and infertility, I am now 29 weeks pregnant. Thank you for giving us hope again and being a real professional.

After giving birth I kept haemorrhaging, and no one could figure out what was wrong. Dr Gnana scanned me and then carried out a hysteroscopy. He managed to resolve the issue, without having to do a hysterectomy. I could not be happier with the results.
