Dr Ram answered and explained my questions in a clear and understandable way. He was very thorough in making sure I was well informed about my condition. He showed he had a natural caring and calming effect on me which is essential for nervous and worried patients like myself.

I found Dr Ramakrishnan extremely approachable and friendly. He had time to listen and explained everything very clearly - with very easy to understand drawings. He was thorough in investigations and gave me confidence that nothing had been overlooked.
He is obviously very knowledgeable in his field and I would have no hesitation in recommending such a lovely consultant.

Dr Ram provided rapid medical attention as I was extremely worried about my condition. He turned appointments around very quickly and put my mind at rest with emails to confirm the diagnostics were all fine. Very satisfied and would be delighted to recommend him.
When you are concerned about an aliment it it vital that you get to the root cause very quickly - this is exactly what I got from Ram - good all round bloke as well.

I have been attending Dr Ram’s clinic since 2009 when I was first diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, then in 2011 when I was diagnosed with Auto Immune Liver Disease. Dr Ram has always taken the time to listen carefully to me and is able to explain my test results and treatment required in great detail, in a simple and straightforward way. By taking the time to understand my symptoms he has been excellent at providing an accurate diagnosis and suitable treatments for me. He is also one of the friendliest and helpful doctors I have ever met and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Every time I visit Dr Ramakrishnan I get 100% of his time and attention. He has been looking after me since 2010. Before this I had seen many doctors from around the country. Only ever have I felt listened to and understood by Dr Ram. He goes above and beyond in his care. Knowing me and the pain I go through he will tell me to call his secratery any time I need him. I have always had a reply and been seen in clinic if needs be. This doctor has made me feel normal again in a time I was at a all time low. I owe this to him and his understanding personal approach to his patients. I know when I'm in his care he will do any thing to help me.
