In 2012 I was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Dr Ramakrishnan was there from the start of my journey by performing the endoscopy before surgery. He has been a constant member of the team of medical staff looking after me during this extremely stressful time, from diagnosis to treatment to after care. (This matters, as there is nothing worse than not knowing your Doctor).
Dr Ramakrishnan has always made me feel that I am important to him; by listening to my concerns and by explaining in detail my treatment and care. This is important as patients need to know what is happening in order to fully understand their condition and their treatment.
I attend Dr Ramakrishnans clinics on a yearly basis at the moment, which is extremely reassuring as a patient, that he is keeping an eye on my case.

I have been under the care of Dr. Ramakrishnan, Consultant in Gastroenterology at Warrington Hospital, for approximately 8 years.
During this time I have always found Dr Ramakrishnan to be very caring and thorough. He takes the time to explain things in simple, lay man’s terms in order to make sure that I understand the reports/progress of my condition and is happy to answer my questions. Dr. Ramakrishnan is easy to talk to and is happy to listen to any concerns that I have. He makes me feel at ease, as I never feel rushed in my appointments with him. This also gives me the confidence that he will openly and honestly answer any questions that I raise.
Nothing is too much trouble for Dr. Ramakrishnan and I couldn’t wish for a better Consultant.

I would trust Dr Ram totally, he helped me through a bad phase in my life, and even when I was an inpatient in Warrington hospital, and not being cared for by him, he would still take time out to come and visit me and have a chat. I have been under Dr Ram for about 4 years and I can only describe the treatment I have received from him as marvellous.

I found Dr Ramakrishnan to be friendly, open and excellent at explaining the diagnostic procedures and possible causes associated with my symptoms. He had the time to answer any questions that I had and indeed encouraged them.
