Dr. Gnanachandran is an excellent doctor. He is very knowledgeable, explains everything well to the patient and is also genuinely concerned about the patient. I recently underwent surgery where a large fibroid and other small ones were removed via keyhole surgery. The surgery was done with great expertise by Dr. Gnana. Cannot thank Dr. Gnana , the Admin and Surgical teams enough for all help and support. Will definitely recommend Dr. Gnanachandran.

I cannot fault the care that I have received from Mr Gnanachandran. I have felt completely involved with the decision making for my surgery and he listened to all of my concerns. His follow up care was outstanding and I couldn't have asked for better communication, advice or care. I would highly recommend him.

I cannot thank Dr.Gnanachandran and his Admin and Surgical Teams enough for all their help and support at all times.
