Dr Rama took over my care almost 2 years ago. I had seen 4 Gastroenterologists previously - felt like someone different every time - and care was terrible, I was left feeling unheard and distressed by my IBD symptoms. Dr Rama completed a full in-depth review of my difficulties, including blood tests, medication changes and colonoscopy (which he did himself!). He wanted to find out why my medication wasn’t working rather than just telling me I have IBS symptoms as well or I must be mistaken that things were so bad (yes I was told this by another doctor only to become extremely unwell with pancolitis). He supported me with planning my second pregnancy and my current plan to reduce my medication. He is always willing to work collaboratively with me and takes onboard what I have to say, but balances this with giving me advice based on his experience and knowledge. He has positive views about the importance of breastfeeding and healthy lifestyles/eating. This I applaud him for this considering other doctors have denied that food, stress etc can be a factor in flare-ups and are fixed on drug interventions alone. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Rama, as I now feel listened to and empowered to make choices about my care. The best Gastro consultant I’ve had. Thank you!
