Very easy to talk to and understand. Dr Ram went to great trouble to explain all the relevant information clearly and in the appropriate level of detail. He outlined his recommended treatment, reasons and associated risks and then made the necessary arrangements quickly. The procedures were carried out with skill and efficiency and I felt in very safe and competent hands.

I have know Dr Ramakrishnan for well over 15 years, was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease under a different consultant he left and Dr Ramakrishnan took over, I couldn’t have been happier, this man is caring, understanding and makes you feel like he actually cares. the care he gives is amazing and I don’t say that lightly, he even makes you laugh at your darkest point with this illness. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

When booking my appointment I asked the receptionist to recommend the specialist with the best bedside manner. She got it so right by lining me up with Dr Ramakrishnan. He was excellent, and made me feel much more at ease.
I was sent for a colonoscopy procedure, which was nowhere near as unpleasant an experience as I was expecting. Dr Ram and his staff really looked after me well, very impressed and would definitely recommend him.

Dr Ramakrishnan is a truly caring and compassionate professional. He is extremely thorough and someone who takes time to explain what diagnostics/treatment is needed for the particular medical issue. He ensured I was fully aware of what would happen. This made me feel very much at ease. Once admitted (I was a day case) he made sure he came to check on me and that my follow appointment was booked in.
Should I need any further treatment in the future, I would not choose to go and see anyone else.
It would give me the greatest pleasure to recommend Dr Ramakrishnan to anyone. There are not enough words to convey my gratitude to him for the high level of care he delivered.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease when I was 24 years old and have had all of my treatments at Warrington Hospital where Dr Ramakrishnan has been my Consultant for many years.
He is a very kind and caring Doctor, I love the way he always comes out of his consulting room in Outpatients and invites you into the room himself. He always listens carefully to any questions I have and explains things as simply as possible. Last year when my appointment was soon after my Dad died he was ready with a tissue and was happy to wait until I felt OK to continue. He has also done all of the endoscopies that I have needed over the last few years and given me the results of them as soon as possible to allay any worries.
I really hope he continues to be my Consultant for many years to come :)
