Dr Ram is an absolutely brilliant, caring doctor. He really cares about his patients, and he listens thoroughly to all your concerns before determining the best way forward to help relieve symptoms. I first saw Dr Ram five years ago for issues with acid reflux, a hiatus hernia, and concerns I may have had stomach cancer. Dr Ram was brilliant and arranged an endoscopy within a week of seeing him, after which my anxiety settled greatly as he took time and care to perform the endoscopy himself so he could make an accurate diagnosis, rather than just guessing. Fast forward five years and I had been experiencing a change in bowel habit and subsequent chronic anxiety and did not feel my GP was listening, so I had no hesitation in contacting Dr Ram. He is such a caring doctor that he fitted me into his clinic a week earlier than expected, extending his clinic times for me because of my anxiety, and a week later performed a colonoscopy, again fitting me in when the list was already full. This calmed my anxiety greatly and when Dr Ram performed the procedure, he took biopsies when he didn't have to to reassure me nothing sinister was happening, and even immediately afterwards while I was still sedated (!) took the time to seek out my wife and tell her my colonoscopy was fine, knowing that would be of such reassurance to me and that my wife rules the roost and she is in charge! It is those caring, personal touches, that make Dr Ram such a brilliant doctor. Of course he is a fantastic Gastroenterologist and knows his subject better than anyone, being the 2019 Gastroenterologist of the Year you know you're dealing with the best, but it is also his personal attention to his patients and his absolute care and kindness that makes him, in my opinion, the best Gastroenterologist you could possibly see. Thank you Dr Ram for all you've done for me and my family.
