Dr. Ramakrishnan gave me time to explain my health issues then after giving me a brilliant possible diagnosis he explained verbaly and by diagrams all the possible steps to be taken . I felt his honesty and empathy were very helpful .

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.

Dr. Ramakrishnan was an extremely knowledgeable person who answered any question in a very simple manner which was easy for a non medical individual to understand. He had a very nice aura and was very honest in everything he expressed. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody I knew as everything he said was done in a very calm manner.

Dr Ramakrishnan .....a true professional, gentleman and scholar with an amazing knowledge of all things Gastro which he manages to combine with immense patience, tact and understanding. I have been treated by Dr Ram both as outpatient and inpatient and his treatment is beyond belief. He explains everything thoroughly, often using diagrams to ensure procedures are understood clearly. He listens intently and gives reassurance when necessary and in a very gentle manner. He acts immediately when organising further tests, scans and appointments and leaves nothing to chance. I consider it an honour to be treated by such a wonderful, gentle and caring doctor.

I felt I was in great care and finally listened to after a couple years of having stomach issues. I felt that Dr Ramakrishnan really listened and helped me and put me at ease with my concerns. I think he is a great Doctor and just wish there were more like him. I would totally recommend him he is excellent.

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.
