I received great care from Dr Ramakrishnan. He listened to my concerns and was thorough with tests, tackling each symptom and ruling out possible conditions. I am happy that if I do have any future problems/concerns I can contact Dr Ramakrishnan to discuss.

I would just like to thank Dr Ramakrishnan for the way he dealt with me in a totally professional manner over a period of 3 - 4 months, of which was a very worrying time for myself and my family . Being a typical man, the aches and pains I had in my abdomen was put down to something I had eaten , stress or one too many beers over the weekend. But deep down I knew I had to see a doctor as the pains were not going away and I spent too long on Dr Google trying to self diagnose what was wrong with me. I got an emergency appointment with my Doctors. The Doctor felt my stomach and said she couldn't feel anything out of the ordinary , gave me a months supply of antacids and sent me on my way. Not surprisingly, the tablet's didn't work, which led me to seek someone that specialised in gastroenterology and this is where I found Dr Ramakrishnan who came highly recommended at the Spire Cheshire Hospital. I managed to get an appointment within days of making the initial contact and from the moment I met him, I knew he was on a different level to my own doctors and obviously a specialist in his field of medicine. Following an examination and a full length conversation regarding my symptoms he immediately booked me in for a CT scan, which was carried out within days of seeing him. I returned to see him for my results and after a further consultation he wanted to carry out a further investigation to determine the exact cause of my issues as he was not satisfied that the CT scan was conclusive enough for him to be satisfied with a firm diagnoses at this stage. I was booked in to have endoscopy and despite my fears, he assured me he would manage my fear with sedation which went a long way to relax me. On the day of the procedure , I could not fault how I was treated and looked after by Dr Ramakrishnan and his team throughout the day and a follow up appointment was made , again within a very short space of time to find out the result as biopsies were taken. To my relief, all the biopsies were clear with no underlaying issues other than some angry looking ulcers. I was prescribed medication to clear up the ulcers and Dr Ramakrishnan took a great deal of time to explain what foods and drinks I need to avoid during my treatment. A further endoscopy was booked for 9 weeks later so he could see the how the healing process was going and again I was treated with great care and professionalism by Dr Ramakrishnan and his team. I was delighted to find out my ulcers had fully healed and further biopsies taken at the time were again clear , with no other issues found. In closing , I can not recommend Dr Ramakrishnan highly enough for everything he did for me and way in which he made me feel throughout my time under his consultation. I knew from the moment I met him that I was being looked after by someone that was caring and treated me with extreme professionalism from day one. I hope this goes along way to others in the same position I was in and I hope this will encourage others to seek help instead of hoping the symptoms will go away on their own.

He actively listened to my account of my symptoms. He provided reassurance to me at every stage at getting to the root of my problem. He provided a detailed explanation and purpose of all proposed investigations. He provided photographic/ diagrams to explain the results of investigations and explained his reports word by word and gave me the opportunity to ask questions. He provided treatment options and lifestyle advice. he was an excellent communicator and was kind and compassionate throughout.
