From the moment we met Mr Gnanachandran he made us feel comfortable and at ease. We felt he was transparent and honest and told us the immediate and future treatment plans outlining all outcomes. Mr Gnana is approachable and explained everything in terms we could understand.

After avoiding smear test and any other tests for years, the doctor and his team made me feel so comfortable i succeeded in getting all the test done which I had avoided for years. I would definantly recommend anyone who has anxiety to book appointment with this kind doctor and his team. Five stars from Myself and my husband.

I believe I received poor care under Dr Gnanachandran. I was being persuaded and assured to attempt a natural delivery of my baby despite a serious complication. I sought a second opinion and discovered it would have been virtually impossible to have laboured and delivered safely and I feel the well being of myself and my child was gambled with immensely. Under his care I would have had two operations but in the end under a different consultant I had one very successful cesarian and cystectomy combined and myself and the baby are very well.
