I have recently been treated by Dr Ramakrishnan at Spire Cheshire and would highly recommend him. He was extremely polite, friendly, and easy to talk to and put me completely at ease. He explained everything in detail and took time to answer any questions.
Thank you Dr Ram and all the staff at Spire Cheshire.

Very friendly and approachable doctor. Took great care and time to explain medical issues and results clearly. Thorough in his examination and testing. Provided helpful and reassuring advice.

I have been seeing Dr Subramaniam Ramakrishnan since around 2010.
He has overseen my condition of ulcerative colitis, which, thankfully has largely remained dormant for well over five years now, thanks to his careful regulation of my medicine intake.
A very friendly and approachable doctor, who I would gladly recommend to anyone with a similar condition to mine.

I had several visits to Dr Ramakrishnan which also resulted in undergoing a couple of investigatory procedures.
Both in the consulting room and during the procedures, Dr Ram, was reassuring and explained fully what he was doing and why.
He listened carefully and, unlike many others of his profession, was prepared to concentrate on more than one issue at a time.
He was pleasant, thorough and approachable and whilst I was initially taken aback when I was asked for a review ( I've only previously done books and restaurants) - I would definitely recommend him..
Nothing was too much trouble.

Dr Ram (or 'Ram' as he prefers to be addressed) is friendly without barriers and is someone I believe, who cares about his patients welfare and listens to their views and concerns.
He answers questions clearly and is not afraid to tell the truth as regards symptoms but equally reassures in an equal fashion.
