Dr Ram is very easy to talk to and very sympathetic. Things are explained carefully and clearly in terms that a layman can easily understand. He installs confidence and trust in him. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.

My experience with Dr “Ram” was that he was very thorough in the clinical aspects of my case. He listened attentively to me and answered the questions I had in a manner I could readily understand. He was very open to questions and quite prepared to explain matters at length. He put me at ease from the moment I met him. Really I couldn’t have asked for better.

Dr Ramakrishnan put me at ease the moment I met him. He is exceptionally empathetic and an active listener. After being treated by a different consultant for 18 months for the same condition, I chose to see Dr Ramakrishnan as a second opinion at the Spire Cheshire Hospital. He is clear in his explanations, asks many questions and makes sure I understand every step of the way in a very conversational manner. Dr Ramakrishnan liaised directly with with my NHS consultant (for a different condition) and Primary Care GP to get a full picture of previous test results, other relevant history and to keep them in the loop every step of the way. I am very grateful to Dr Ramakrishnan for his expertise, knowledge, professionalism and overall manner at which he treated me. I would highly recommend this doctor.

Dr Ramakrishnan has a lovely friendly approach and made me feel at ease. He offered me a light sedation during my recent Gastroscopy which made my experience far more bearable.
He explained very carefully the results of my scope, with diagrams and actual photos from the procedure and discussed how we needed to move forward to help with my acid reflux/ GERD symptoms. Would highly recommend him.

Dr Ramakrishnan has looked after me for several years, leading to a great improvement in my symptoms and showing a marked reduction in pain and loss of sleep. He is thorough, thoughtful and professional in his investigations, research, manner and treatment. He vastly improved my life and wellbeing and I cannot over emphasise what a true professional and leader he is in the Gastroenterology speciality. I would want no one else to be my consultant as the care I have received has been consistently excellent.
