It took a long time but Dr Ram really persisted and eventually found a diagnosis for my tummy problems. I'm diagnosed a coeliac now and the gluten free diet is working. What a difference to my quality of life! Dr Ram was especially patient and always sympathetic to my condition and understood my issues when I kept going back to him. His methods for colonoscopy and gastroscopy were always gentle and careful and therefore I always had the utmost confidence that I would not suffer during those procedures. Once, there was another doctor who wasn't as careful and caused me great pain during a colonoscopy. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Ram for finding out what was causing my tummy problems and helping me to get rid of the pain that I used to suffer every day. By the way, from memory, his clinics have always been quite good and my appointments were only ever delayed slightly.

I took my 16 year old to see Dr. Ramakrishnan, I have been so impressed by this experience that I have changed to this doctor myself. He has been a pleasure to see and I have gained full confidence in his ability to diagnose and treat, he really cares and you get the feeling he is there because he wants to make people better, not for the cheque.
