Excellent care from Dr. Ramakrishnan who came highly recommended, a view I wholly endorse.
He took time to investigate the symptoms I described and was very easy to talk with. A scan was promptly arranged, followed by a diagnostic gastroscopy with sedation. No time wasted, no stress and no side effects from the investigation other than a slightly sore throat.

Having suffered problems with swallowing food for some time I was referred to Dr. Ramakrishnan once severe conditions were ruled out. From first meeting Dr. Ram he has been kind, understanding, knowledgeable and once my condition was diagnosed he has been thorough in explaining all the options available to me for long term management. I am not good with needles and was therefore not an easy patient when having procedures but Dr. Ram was incredibly understanding and I cannot thank him enough for the care and compassion he has shown to me. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a consultant - he is a credit to his profession.

Dr Ramakrishnan is an excellent consultant, he has a very nice calming demeanour and really takes the time to listen and understand your situation. I had various gastro problems a year before and through various tests he established that I have severe pancreatic insufficiency. To try and find the cause and the put my mind at rest, even though I had previously had a CT scan of my abdomen he recommended getting a MRI done, specifically looking at the pancreas. Thankfully that was all clear and I have now been given a plan to manage the condition I have. I wouldn’t hesitate in returning to see him and would happily recommend him. Thank you Dr Ram!

Dr Ramakrishan was absolutely brilliant. The initial consultation was completed and tests were booked as required for my symptoms. The procedures and results were fully explained and the follow up consultation was completed quickly. Dr Ramakrishan has a very pleasant and relaxing manner which keeps you relaxed and informed. I would highly recommend Dr Ramakrishan.
