Dr. Ramakrishnan was an extremely knowledgeable person who answered any question in a very simple manner which was easy for a non medical individual to understand. He had a very nice aura and was very honest in everything he expressed. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody I knew as everything he said was done in a very calm manner.

Dr Ramakrishnan .....a true professional, gentleman and scholar with an amazing knowledge of all things Gastro which he manages to combine with immense patience, tact and understanding. I have been treated by Dr Ram both as outpatient and inpatient and his treatment is beyond belief. He explains everything thoroughly, often using diagrams to ensure procedures are understood clearly. He listens intently and gives reassurance when necessary and in a very gentle manner. He acts immediately when organising further tests, scans and appointments and leaves nothing to chance. I consider it an honour to be treated by such a wonderful, gentle and caring doctor.

I felt I was in great care and finally listened to after a couple years of having stomach issues. I felt that Dr Ramakrishnan really listened and helped me and put me at ease with my concerns. I think he is a great Doctor and just wish there were more like him. I would totally recommend him he is excellent.

A very caring doctor who always makes me welcome when I attend with my daughter and addresses my fears and worries clearly and in an easy to understand way. Our visits are enjoyable and he is generous with his time

I had years of gut issues prior to and following gall bladder surgery. A recent lengthy period of illness led me to go back to seek medical help, after seeing consultants and GPs previously without much success, I was referred to Dr Ramakrishnan. Dr Ram was attentive, interested and caring throughout my time with him, he ensured everything that need to be done, was done, quickly and easily and explained with great care what was happening, why and what it meant. After previous consultants had shooed me away saying it was 'probably IBS', Dr Ram listened to me, followed through all tests, called me to let me know the result of a stressful test in the evening to reduce my stress. I feel that he has done everything in his power to help and feel in safe hands, I'm now hopefully on the right track health wise.
