I had three consultations, a scan and a colonoscopy procedure under Dr Ramakrishnan's care. Throughout he carefully explained every step, the reasons for each step and the gave a full explanation of the results. He listened carefully and responded fully to all questions. His approach was very reassuring and gave a feeling of trust of his conclusions.

I have seen Dr Ramakrishnan on a number of occasions and he has treated me well each time, listening to my issues and responding positively and efficiently. The level of care I have received at the Spire has been of a high standard. I value highly Dr Ramakrishnan’s advice.

From start to finish of my appointments withDr Ram he made you feel at ease. He explained everything what possibly could be going on and the reasons why he was going to be doing the my scan and colonoscopy.
I would certainly recommend Dr Ram to any of my friends & family which for me says everything about the doctor.

Dr Ram is the third Gastro Dr I have seen. I was diagnosed with Chronic IBD aged 27. I am now 43. I lived for twelve years with dreadful pain, bleeding and problems relating to the condition and with previous Consultants had been made to feel that I was depressed, had psychological problems and should just get on with it because it a life-long condition. I had absolutely given up hope of ever being able to feel well and pain free. Then I met Dr Ram.
Firstly, let's chat about his bedside manner. Dr Ram is absolutely lovely. He listened about the pain, sensitively understood and always thought about what he could do to improve the situation. He is kind, applies thought to his conversation and is sensitive when he listens.
Secondly, his knowledge. He is incredibly knowledgeable. His way of explaining the issues is really clear. He bases his explanations on facts, in simple, non-patronising vocabulary. This is something that was severely lacking from previous Consultants in my care.
Thirdly, his ability to manage my condition. This is where he has excelled. We have trialled different medications until we got the right balance for me. I have now been pain free for 5 months. I am no longer bleeding. I feel reassured about there being no changes that could be more sinister.
His care has been exceptional. Never once have I felt out of control. I have felt heard in the Consultations. He is sensitive to the delicate nature of my condition and has always put me at ease with any personal elements of the testing process.
Dr Ram has changed my life. I have every faith in his care and would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone.
Thanks you for all have done.
