Dr Subramaniam Ramakrishnan was awarded the iWantGreatCare certificate of excellence in 2024 for delivering outstanding care.
Reviews
I have been seen by Dr Ramakrishnan for several years following my diagnosis as coeliac. He was also very important to my recovery following complications after gall bladder removal. He is professional and sympathetic, and I never felt rushed in appointments. Everything was always explained well and I felt confident in his care.
One small suggestion; if patients were invited for a blood test prior to the appointment, results would be more up to date, instead of getting results from the previous year.
Over the last 14yrs I have been under the care of Dr Ramakrishnan.
Dr Ramakrishnan treats me as a person rather than a patient, he always takes time during appointments to fully explain things and reassure when necessary. He is an excellent doctor with a lovely calming approach - I feel extremely lucky to have him as my gastroenterologist.
Dr Ram was excellent in difficult Covid times
Dr Ram is extremely professional and puts you at ease from the very first time you speak with him. He explained everything fully and kept me informed at each step of my treatment. I really can’t recommend him highly enough.
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.
