I came to see Dr Ramakrishnan after having some rectal bleeding and concerns over my bowels. He was very professional and listened to my concerns and made me feel at ease. I proceeded in having a colonoscopy shortly after my first consultation. The whole team in the endoscopy unit were great, very calm and reassuring throughout the whole procedure. It was a bit daunting at first but I can’t believe how well it went. Dr Ramakrishnan is very thorough and gentle so the whole procedure was pain free and I felt calm throughout. Brilliant care all through out the whole experience.

I was seen by Dr Ramakrishan very soon after making my enquiry. At my initial appointment he was attentive and listened to my symptoms. I was then booked in again quickly for tests/investigations. I believe these investigations were thorough to identify nearly anything it could be. The results were well explained to me and I could not fault the service offered.

He is friendly, professional, approachable consultant who made me feel at ease from my first appointment.
He took his time during my consultations to listen to my symptoms, check everything throughly and made sure that I understood what was happening at each step of treatment.
The relief that I now feel after thorough investigations and the results explained so clearly is immeasurable.
I would 100% recommend without hesitation.

I have been under the care of Dr Ramakrishnan for six years for bowel surveillance and the removal of polyps. He is a kind, calm, caring and exceptionally professional doctor, and it is incredibly reassuring to know that I am under his continued care and monitoring.
I cannot recommend him highly enough. He explained everything in terms that I could understand and laid out a plan for monitoring me going forward. The relief of having thorough investigations and then having the results explained so clearly is immeasurable. Five star treatment.
