I have been under the care of Dr Ramakrishnan for a number of years now. He is one of the nicest, friendliest Dr’s I have come across, he explains everything to you without using long medical words that people wouldn’t understand (and also a drawing sometimes). He also spends an appropriate amount of time with you without rushing you and puts a plan in action going forward with you. I have recently moved quite a distance away and will not be seeing Dr Ramakrishnan anymore, but I am extremely grateful for everything that he has done for me while I was he’s patient and will miss him very much. He is going to write to my new gp for me so that I can be recommended to the Gastroenterology department at my local hospital. Would you please thank Dr Ramakrishnan for all of his help in the past and best wishes for his future.

I have been a patient since early 2010, initially at Spire Cheshire until diagnosed and transferred to Warrington late 2010.
Dr Ramakrishnan is so approachable, he really cares about my health but also about me as a person. He listens to my concerns and we agree on a plan of action together. I feel completely supported and very happy with the care he provides.
I would recommend him to other patients who are looking for expert gastrointestinal care.

What a lovely and highly knowledgeable Doctor who has excellent interpersonal communication skills who was able to put me at ease from the start.
He was both patient and kind whilst listening to my health concerns, providing support and explanation regarding my health situation and validating my concerns as needing investigating further.
His consultation was thorough looking at my health history alongside my wider family and suggested an investigative procedure, which would aid his diagnosis that I wasn't aware of.
A very high tech procedure but, not too invasive as it turned out. At no point did I feel pressured, I felt this doctor just wanted to help make my health better .
I am so pleased to have met Dr Ramakrishnan. Following my procedure I have my health answers and strategies, I feel less anxious and worried and can now move on live my life.

Dr Ram spent time to explain and reassure as much as possible. I felt completely at ease and had full trust in his relaxed manner. Thanks Dr Ram

Dr Ramakrishnan has looked after me for years now and has always listened carefully and been able to provide amazing care both during procedures and after care.
I can't thank him enough as he has and will continue to provide this care for me and my condition.
