Dr Ram has been exceptional from the day he took on my medical care. His patient manner and empathy for what a patient is going through is without fault. He always explains in detail what is going on with your care and what the next steps are in a way a non medical professional can understand. Clinic appointments are never rushed and he always makes time to listen to and understand any concerns or worries you may have. I have been under Dr Ram's care for 11 years now and have always felt he has done everything in his power to help with my long term condition. He is an asset to the NHS and I can't thank him enough for all he has done for me. He has saved my life and I am forever greatfull. A wonderful caring man, who I would hesitate to recommend to anyone as a trustworthy Dr.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Ramakrishnan to anyone. His care has been excellent throughout my investigations, he has listened to what I say and explained everything to me clearly answering any questions I had and ensuring I understood what he said. He is extremely polite, caring, professional and courteous. He undertook a colonoscopy, he put me at ease and undertook the procedure without causing me any pain or discomfort. Afterwards he fully explained the results. All appointments before and after the procedure were conducted by Zoom which I cannot fault at all. If I have any problems of this nature again I would want to go back to Dr Ramakrishnan again.

I knew within minutes of speaking on our first zoom call that this very personable Doctor would look after me to the best of his ability. I would highly recommend him, he performed a gastroscopy on me, saw me before the procedure and put me at ease, spoke in the theatre, and saw me afterwards. We had a final zoom call and he went through the report. He was just great!

Dr.Ram has been my doctor for over 7 years, from diagnosis to treatment with my lifelong condition. He has been incredible with his bedside manner and action. He is caring and ensures he understands your needs. He also makes sure you understand what’s going on and how he wants the treatment to work. I honestly could not wish for a better doctor and he has been someone who has always been reliable when I have needed his help. He has been a lifesaver to me and I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs his assistance.

I would highly recommend that anyone having stomach issues speaks to Dr Ramakrishnan. After speaking to my GP, i soon realised that i wasn't getting anywhere as i was being told i had IBS. I searched for private doctors in my area and Dr Ram was showing with very good reviews. Well what can i say, we are in the middle of a global pandemic and i received the best care from beginning to end. Dr Ram agreed to see me for an initial consultation where he was extremely helpful, he listened to all of my concern's which no other doctor had been doing, he put my mind at ease and advised what he thought could be causing the issues. We got to the bottom of my condition after having a stomach and bowel camera, which was done in a Private Hospital, again the care provided was outstanding. I cannot stress enough how much i would recommend the care given from Dr Ramakrishnan and his team.
