I have been under Dr S. Ramakrishnan for many years with ulcerative colitis and have always found him one of the most helpful doctors I have ever known. His attention to detail with regard to my diagnosis is superb. He explains my problems in the most simplest of terms and nothing is too much trouble when I do not quite understand the medical terms. He is a charming gentleman and his patients are certainly very fond of him. May he continue for a very long time in his post at Warrington Hospital.

On my first visit, Dr. Ramakrishnan listened carefully to my symptoms and concerns and took urgent action to investigate, with a CT scan followed some days later by an endoscopy and colonoscopy, with sedation. I was very nervous beforehand about the endoscopy and colonoscopy and the laxative process was rather arduous and tiring. However, I found the theatre experience painless and the staff, led by Dr. Ramakrishnan, were professional, caring, and reassuring. The followup session was excellent: all my questions were able to be answered clearly and the doctor listened carefully to me and was prepared to spend as much time as I needed to understand things. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Ramakrishnan to others, and will certainly go to him again as I now have complete confidence in his observations and judgement.

Dr Ramakrishnan has a calming presence and this helps put you at ease when discussing your condition. In my case he completed a Colonoscopy with the minimum of fuss and made the whole process drama free.In the follow up consultation he was once again empathetic but clear in his advice.
Dr Ramakrishnan is clearly a Consultant with a wealth of experience and expertise but he also has the ability to explain complex medical issues in a simple and logical way and because of this he inspires confidence in his diagnosis and treatment plan.

Met with the Dr who listened intently and carried out a thorough examination. Diagnosis was 100% correct as was backed up by subsequent CT scan. My appointment was late on in the day for which the Dr was late for - I see this as complete positive as it is a clear demonstration that the Dr spends an appropriate amount of time with each of his patients
Very appreciative of the service received and would thoroughly recommend
