What I found about Dr Ramaswamy is, he listens to me specially explained in depth. He is a very gentle surgeon. He made me feel at ease when he saw that I was nervous. He spoke gentle to me like he knew me, he have time for you. Unlike other doctors they treat you as a numbers.Despites of his busy schedules and exhaustion, He made a point of visiting me in my room after few hours of my surgery. Which you dont find that from other doctors. I highly recommend Dr Ramawamy.

From the initial consultation to the day of the procedure Dr Shankar Ramaswamy put me at total ease, he explained every aspect of the procedure at each stage which in turn allowed me to be more confident that I was in great hands. Dr Ramaswamy had a great bedside manner as well even although I am sure he was extremely busy he still took the time to answer any queries or worries that I had.
