I was recommended to see Dr Ramakrishan and it was the best advice I had Dr Ram arranged a CT scan then a MRI Scan followed by a Colonoscopy. The results were there was nothing wrong with me, Dr Ram then gave me some life changing advice which I have followed. I Have to say it's changed my life. Thanks Dr

I found Dr Ramakrishnan very empathetic. He listened to my concerns and responded clearly and appropriately. He is clear and supportive and takes the time necessary to reassure and explain. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

My symptoms presented Dr Ram with a bit of a puzzle, immediately he created a plan of tests / scans / procedures to find out what was wrong. The diagrams that were drawn each time to explain the next step were always helpful. I left from my first appointment feeling confident that, at last, I would get some answers. I was listened to, I was expertly questioned so all my symptoms were understood. Dr Ram completed a gastroscopy and diagnosed me with Coeliac. The procedure was very quick, the whole team team at Spire made my brief stay comfortable and pleasant. I am very grateful that Dr Ram was able to complete the procedure outside of his usual gastroscopy schedule. It was very kind of the hospital to accommodate my anxiety and allow my husband to stay close by. I appreciated being able to see my MRI scans and the pictures from the procedure. The quality of the scan was amazing, and very helpful in my diagnostic journey.

Dr Ram is very approachable and takes great care to make sure you fully understand your condition and treatment options. He has a lovely manner and takes a genuine interest in you.You know he cares and you are not 'just another patient'. I trust him implicitly and he always makes me feel like I am involved in decisions about my treatment. He has been very accessible and helpful when I have required advice or support between routine appointments. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Ram to others.

I have been practising as a Consultant Gastroenterologist since 2007 and have a specialist interest in all aspects of endoscopy, gastroenterology, liver and pancreatic disease.

I have a keen interest in service development, teaching and training.

As endoscopy lead I established a brand new three room endoscopy unit at Warrington and Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and led the team to achieve national accreditation (JAG) in 2009. I am now the lead for the Endoscopy Unit at Spire Cheshire Hospital and In this role led the team in this hospital to achieve national accreditation (JAG) in 2016.

I have been the lead for Advancing Quality programme (AQuA) for the Trust and have participated actively in achieving a high quality of care across both medical and surgical divisions of the hospital.
