Dr Subramaniam Ramakrishnan

Written by a patient at Warrington Hospital

Attentive, compassionate, gentle, patient and thoughtful - I was extremely nervous but he made me feel at ease and not a time waster. He organised many tests and procedures regardless of cost, but, unfortunately, nothing could be done for me...I wasn't surprised though. He did everything he could. I don't have much trust in doctors but I trusted Dr Ram more than any I've ever met .... a lovely man and a true gentleman.

Dr Ram has been amazing, he listened to everything I told him when my doctor was giving up, he found my problems and gave me the news in a very professional yet friendly manner. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a consultant in this field, absolutely brilliant

Dr Ramakrishnan (Dr Ram) saved my life basically. He's also a great guy, easy to talk to and you get the feeling he genuinely cares about the health of his patients. He puts you at ease and you feel on the same level as him which is refreshing these days when speaking to any consultant about your health issues. Earlier this year I was in severe abdominal pain for several months. The pains were becoming more frequent and more intense. I visited Dr Ram privately and he suggested a capsule endoscopy. However my condition continued to worsen. After several trips to A&E in agony i had lost 20kg and my skin was turning yellow. An ultrasound showed multiple stones and a large 1.5cm stone blocking my common bile duct. That night, in agony again, i decided this time to go to Warrington General instead of my local hospital as i knew Dr Ram would be there the next day. I managed to make it through the night and the next day Dr Ram performed an emergency ERCP procedure. He broke down and removed the stone, took biopsies, inserted a 4cm stent, performed a sphincterotomy and a balloon trawl. The operation was a big success. By that time i already had pancreatitis so it was a close call. That night on the ward, after my op, i had the best Jacket Potato of my life, it was the first time i had been able to eat food without pain in several months. 2 months later Dr Ram performed another successful ERCP to remove the stent and make sure all was clear which thankfully it was. A subsequent follow up MRI and ultrasound showed that thanks to Dr Rams operating skills my gallbladder and ducts were completely clear of all sludge and stones. The ultrasound did show a small 3mm polyp in my gallbladder which I will be keeping a close eye on. If you need a gastroenterologist i would highly recommend Dr Ramakrishnan.

After what was an extremely difficult few months of investigations, I was referred to Dr Ramakrishnan. His care has been second to none. He has been patient with all of my questions and always made me feel totally at ease. In my opinion he is the best in his field and I wouldn’t be where I am now without his expertise and medical opinion.

As a teenage patient of DrRam I found him understanding, empathetic and positive following my diagnosis of coeliac disease. He understood how my diagnosis may affect aspects of my life as a 17 year old girl and was able to provide good advice and support. He made me feel comfortable during my consultation and especially during the gastroscopy which he made a painless experience. I would recommend Dr Ram and look forward to seeing him at future appointments.
