Dr Shanmugasundaram Ramkumar

Written by a NHS patient at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust

Been under the care of Dr Ram for 6 years. He is very professional in his approach with the kindness you need to help get through your treatments. Always approachable no question is left unanswered . We now only have phone call appointments as my treatment is at an end and I am healthy. When he calls its like catching up with a friend. Its nice to feel like an individual rather than just another person on his list. A wonderful man.

I have now been an ongoing patient of Dr Ram for 10 years. During this time my condition and its side effects have varied, but the level of care I have received from Dr Ram has remained a constant. I have been kept informed throughout my treatments and condition in a manor that left me with no doubts or unanswered questions as to the plan of treatment, after effects and a way forward in the long term. As an Individual Dr Ram is a kind, compassionate and caring person for not only myself as his patient but my family who have had to live though this as well. I can not recommend Dr Ram highly enough or express my gratitude and thanks for this incredible Doctor.

Dr.Ram was very kind and interested in how I was responding to treatment. He went out of his way to borrow equipment from the Pancreatic charity, which the hospital did not have, so that he could perform in-operation radiotherapy. He couldn’t have been kinder or more helpful.

First met Dr 'Ram' ,as he is known, around May/June 2021when I was considering Proton Beam Therapy for a head/neck tumour following surgery ( as an alternative to the much more damaging x-ray therapy ). He patiently guided me through the process and, as a private patient, he also arranged a very acceptable deal for the process at the Rutherford Cancer Centre in Reading... Regular, interactive meetings during and after treatment followed and the result has been excellent.. Any initial side effects post treatment were easy to cope with and disappeared within a couple of months... Dr 'Ram' is at the 'top' of his field and very thorough and 'hands on'...Gets a 'topo' recommend from me..
