I had my operation done by Dr Gnanachandran as I have been in pain for years! I highly recommend him as he helped me from the start, supported me, gave me the best care. I can now say that the surgery went really well and I’m very happy with the results. Thank you again!

Lady supporting him to prep me for the internal scan made no effort to put me at ease or make light conversation, or explain what would happen.
