It's difficult to add anything new to what has already been said by others. I consulted Dr. Ram about digestive problems towards the end of last year. He was always kind and reassuring, and explained everything in detail. You never felt rushed. When he decided I needed a gastroscopy I was apprehensive, but he put me at ease, and the procedure was so well handled, so calm, that I would not be afraid of having another one if necessary. I would not hesitate to see him again, nor to recommend him to others - in fact I have already done so. Thank you Dr. Ram.

At my first visit he listened carefully to my symptoms and knowing I was due to go on holiday he promptly arranged for a CT scan, there was a query on this so an MRI scan was quickly arranged with good results. My next step was a gastroscopy then a follow up consultation at which Dr Ram went through what had happened during the procedure in great detail using photographs and explained that everything was normal. After a little advice, I left the clinic feeling very reassured. I found Dr Ram very approachable, attentive and thorough and would not hesitate in recommending him.

I have seen Dr Ramakrishnan (Dr Ram) for both myself and my son. On both occasions we received excellent care. Dr Ram takes his time to explain thoroughly in a caring and sensitive way. I have had both a gastroscopy and colonoscopy, feeling nervous, Dr Ram made me feel as comfortable as possible. Afterwards discussing his findings and putting my mind at ease. With my son, who was referred with back and stomach pains Dr Ram quickly realised the urgency for a diagnosis, explaining his findings in a sympathetic and reassuring way. I would recommend Dr Ram without a doubt.
