I have been a patient of Dr Ram for many years, he is understanding and genuinely cares about his patients, he is pleasant and courteous and he always makes sure that I understand whats going on with my ulcerative colitis. I trust him totally, he has a lovely pleasant bedside manner. My consultations are never rushed, I would have no hesitation in recommending him to my family and friends

I have recently been under the care of Dr Ramakrishnan having had consultations and procedures
I could not have had better treatment he takes time to explain in detail with care any questions or worries you might have. I was very apprehensive re the couple of procedures I was advised to have but he put my mind at rest by talking to me and explaining what exactly would happen
I would certainly recommend Dr Ramakrishnan and I definitely wouldn’t be apprehensive again if I had to undergo any further treatment.

Fantastic consultant. Put me at ease the minute I walked in, listened to all my concerns and did not patronise or dismiss any of my worries at any time during the consultation and subsequent diagnosis. He drew pictures to explain what was potentially going on in my stomach and bowel and this helped massively. After the colonoscopy and gastroscopy he talked me through the report and explained in layman’s terms which was comforting. His whole manner and approach was relaxing but reassuring. A true professional who made potential daunting hospital visits relaxing and often fun! My diagnosis means further care and visits in the future but I am confident I am in the right pair of hands to keep me healthy. Thank you Dr Ram!

I have been a patient of Doctor Ramakrishnan for some time now, and have always found him to be understanding with my rare condition. His pleasant manner put me at ease straightaway and he was willing to listen to all my concerns. I have had several gastroscopy procedures with Dr. Ram and I have always felt confident in his abilities. Also, in my experience, he is the best doctor to fit a canular. LOL!
