Dr Subramaniam Ramakrishnan is a real gentleman, he took time and was very unrushed to make sure I was aware of all the facts and that I fully understood them, Dr Ramakrishnan talked through the procedure before hand and made the experience as pleasant as possible in a totally understanding way and the follow up was very thorough.

I visited Dr Subramaniam Ramakrishnan, after being told some possibly bad news, this Gentleman straight away put me at ease by just speaking to me and re-assuring me the words used by other Doctors have the potential to be frightening.
Dr Subramaniam Ramakrishnan arranged for my MRI scan the following day then my follow up the day after.He explained to me that all was ok, no need to worry and explained all the findings on my Liver.
One top class Dr who just re assures you everything is going to be ok, true Gentleman would not hesitate to see again so grateful

Dr Rama took over my care almost 2 years ago. I had seen 4 Gastroenterologists previously - felt like someone different every time - and care was terrible, I was left feeling unheard and distressed by my IBD symptoms. Dr Rama completed a full in-depth review of my difficulties, including blood tests, medication changes and colonoscopy (which he did himself!). He wanted to find out why my medication wasn’t working rather than just telling me I have IBS symptoms as well or I must be mistaken that things were so bad (yes I was told this by another doctor only to become extremely unwell with pancolitis). He supported me with planning my second pregnancy and my current plan to reduce my medication. He is always willing to work collaboratively with me and takes onboard what I have to say, but balances this with giving me advice based on his experience and knowledge. He has positive views about the importance of breastfeeding and healthy lifestyles/eating. This I applaud him for this considering other doctors have denied that food, stress etc can be a factor in flare-ups and are fixed on drug interventions alone. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Rama, as I now feel listened to and empowered to make choices about my care. The best Gastro consultant I’ve had. Thank you!

I have been seeing Dr Ram since 2016 and I am always grateful for his help and support when getting me on the correct medication for Ulcerative Colitis which I have had for 13 years, I had a severe flare up in February this year and Dr Ram did the correct investigations and put me on the correct medication. I visit Dr Ram regularly at the Spire in Warrington and would highly recommend him he is very thourgh and gets to the bottom of things I wouldn't see anyone else now and would always seek advice from Dr Ram.
