I recently received outstanding care from Dr Ramakrishnan at the Cheshire Spire Hospital.
He was very easy to talk to, giving me time to fully explain my concerns. He was thorough in his examination and fully explained what he was doing and why it was necessary. I had complete confidence in his professionalism and expertise.
He performed an Endoscopy , again with kindness and care. The follow up consultation was completed over the phone at my request due to Covid19. Mr Ramakrishnan was happy to do this and I still received his full attention and he was happy to discuss all my concerns and fully answer all my questions. I feel very lucky to have been under his care. My lasting memory will be one of kindness. Thank you.

I felt very comfortable and able to discuss my problem with ease. Very understanding. Had a procedure and was treated with the utmost dignity. Full explanation and advice given to me as to how I could access future help if required. Dr Ram was quite holistic in his care, he enquire about wider public health issue, to see if I was following advice to self isolate in relation to Coronovirus as he knew I was in a high risk group. Thank you Dr Ram.

Dr Ramakrishnan was courteous and very thorough during the initial consultation and the subsequent Colonoscopy. During the procedure he took great care not to cause discomfort and to explain what he was doing. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I first met Dr Ram as an NHS patient, and subsequently received treatment through private health insurance. His manner did not change. Dr Ram was attentive, clear in his explanations (great hand drawn illustrations!), caring and always had time to answer questions. He went above and beyond to enable an unscheduled procedure to happen for me following some complications after surgery. I had, and would have in the future, confidence in his judgement and skills. I consider myself blessed to have been under his care and would not hesitate to recommend him.

I've been under his care for Crohn's Disease for several years and would highly recommend him.
He is friendly, calm & very polite (very different to the Consultant I saw previously). He listens carefully and always explains things clearly. He treats me with great respect and I feel that he genuinely cares about me as a person & not just another patient.
I do not believe I could get better care anywhere or by anybody else & as I see him as an NHS patient I know I'm not buying his attention and he never tries to rush you at all.
He is truly a great asset to Warrington Hospital & I dread to think what will happen when he decides to retire.
