For the past 12 months I have travelled from London to Spire Cheshire Hospital to see Dr Ramakrishnan and would gladly continue to travel in order to remain under his care. After approximately 5 years of unresolved issues, Dr Ramakrishnan has finally provided me with an answer for my symptoms. However, this is not the only reason I would recommend him to others. Dr Ramakrishnan is not only very thorough but also has a genuine interest in the wellbeing of his patients; he takes time to listen to his patients and is invested them as people. Whilst in consultations, you don't feel rushed, Dr Ramakrishnan is extremely reassuring and explains everything in a clear, concise manner. His wealth of experience is evident, he is extremely calm and always has suggestions for potential solutions and next steps.
I am extremely grateful for the care I received from Dr Ramakrishnan. I have spent many years with symptoms being passed off as other things or with clinicians not taking me seriously. Dr Ramakrishnan was the first clinician to actually really listen to me, he was also very accommodating with appointments allowing me to continue to see him even when living in London. With Dr Ramakrishnan I felt comfortable and respected. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr Ramakrishnan is a kind thoughtful man. He puts you at ease, gives you confidence and listens to you. I’ll repeat that, he listens to you.
He is supportive, knowledgeable and kind throughout consultations and procedures.
I highly recommend him.

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.
