I cannot express how fortunate I feel to have had Dr Ramkumar as my consultant during treatment for cancer of the tongue base. I was offered laser therapy to help deal with pain, this was personally delivered by Dr Ramkumar prior to every radiotherapy treatment (five days a week for six weeks). Throughout the treatment he was so understanding of what I was going through and always ready to help combat the side effects of the treatment. During treatment he spoke to me as a friend and showed interest in the whole me not just the illness. I am amazed that nearly five years on he still stops in the corridor to speak and remembers not only my name but also things about my family. He is a very approachable and compassionate man who is passionate about the care he provides for his patients. I know that because of the laser treatment which he gave I was able to tolerate treatment far better I would have without it.He was willing to listen to what I had to say and never made light of my fears and anxieties, I always felt that he had time for me and that I was important. He took great care to explain what was going to happen and was honest about the treatment but always positive in his attitude. I would highly recommend Dr Ramkumar and feel that I was truly blessed to have been treated by him.
