I have been seeing Dr Ramakrishnan now for about 5 years and couldn't be happier with the care and help I have received, I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to my health and hospital appointments but I feel completely comfortable and confident in the service I receive from him and am very happy with the progress I have made in my health over the past few years with his help.

I was referred to Dr Ramakrishnan after a very traumatic hospital admission. His care has been excellent. Very through and caring. He explainedeverything every step of the way and throughout every test I've had done. His bedside manner is lovely and I trusted him completely. As an ex nurse he spoke with me on a mutual level of understanding and I couldn't have asked for better treatment.

I was referred to Dr Ram with severe stomach pains. His approach to diagnosis was systematic and clearly explained to me. During the investigative procedures undertaken by Dr Ram I found his caring approach and professionalism reassuring. Again, his explanations regarding his findings, his diagnosis and recommended treatment were all carefully explained to me and I was given every opportunity to ask questions. I cannot recommend his professionalism, skills and approachability enough.

I have been referred to Dr Ramakrisnan about 9 years ago after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and can’t praise him enough. I foumf Dr Ram to be an absolute gentleman, caring, a dedicated and very skilled professional. He always has time to talk about my issues in depth and is open to looking at new ways of dealing with them. I can’t speak highly enough of the support that he has given me.

I found Dr Ram really polite and a great listener. His diagnosis and prescribed treatment has changed my life. He was recommended by my GP and I am delighted with the results of my referral. I would encourage anyone requiring a gastroenterologist to search him out.

Profile

After my basic qualification I have completed more than 15 years of practice in the field of Gastroenterology and General medicine covering all aspects of this specialty.

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.

As the joint lead for management of alcohol related liver disease for the AQuA programme I have streamlined guidelines for evidence based high quality management of this condition.

I teach all levels of trainees nurses and colleagues to update them of recent advances and techniques.

I am currently the lead for research in Gastroenterology for the Trust and we are actively recruiting to several NIHR clinical trials and have started recruiting in commercial trials.

As a keen family man, I enjoy my spare time interacting with children and travelling as much as possible. I also enjoy many sports, particularly cricket.

I pride myself in being very open with patients and am keen to promote a patient centred approach to managing their illnesses.
