I am a great believer in everything happens for a reason and I honestly believe that my path was supposed to cross with Dr Ram. After a complicated few years living with health anxiety, things got quite out of hand for me Spring 2021. After months of dealing with Acid Reflux, Indigestion and uncomfortable upper abdomen, I was left with no choice than to visit my GP. I was prescribed with Omeprazole and sent on my way without any explanation as to what was happening with me. This made my anxiety spiral out of control & my issues with Acid Reflux seem to worsen despite being on medication . I decided to take the matters into my own hands and was put into contact with Dr Ram at the Spire Cheshire. I knew instantly on my first consultation that I was in the best hands. I finally had somebody who seemed to not only listen but also care. I have never felt rushed or just like ‘another number’ every appointment has felt calm and welcoming. I had a Gastrocopy which was undertaken by Dr Ram himself, the whole procedure from start to finish was very smooth and I received the results I had wished for. Thank you so much from bottom of my heart for listening, explaining and reassuring you truly are one in a million Dr Ram!

Dr Ramakrishnam was kind, attentive, patient, caring and professional his passion for what he believes in shown through within the first 10mins at my first consultation.
He did his job to make sure nothing was wrong or untoward, he did a through check after discussion on the final report on what was found, he went further above and beyond to help me further. Would deffinatly recommend anyone to see Dr Ramakrishnam

Dr Ram has been with me since I was diagnosed and has been a wonderful and kind doctor. He always puts his patients care first and encourages his patients to have an active role in their own care. He is caring when needed and blunt when necessary. I could not wish for a better doctor!

I have now been under Dr Ramakrishnan for four years and during that time he has always provided exemplary care and support. He goes the extra mile to make sure each consultation or procedure is carried out in a timely manner and fully explains what to expect and provides a thorough follow up with an explanation of the recommended treatment and what he hopes it will achieve.

Dr Ramakrishnan understood my concerns with my health and my medical background which made the process easy to say the least. Also, he quickly put any obvious worries I had post my examination to rest before discussing how to improve my condition myself.
