Dr Subramaniam Ramakrishnan

Written by a private patient at Warrington Hospital

Dr Ramakrishnan (or Dr Ram as he asked me to call him) is one of the nicest, professional and thorough Consultants I have ever met. After experiencing gastro problems, for a couple of months, I felt as if I wasn't getting anywhere - waiting for NHS blood tests etc. However, I was able to get an appt with Dr Ram within a few days of contacting the hospital. During the initial consultation he was very thorough and asked lots of questions re my symptoms and, more importantly, listened to my concerns. He talked me through the investigations I needed to have, why I needed them and what the tests would rule out or identify. Dr Ram carried out the gastroscopy and colonoscopy himself and talked me through it every step of the way. I was quite anxious going into the gastroscopy but Dr Ram made me feel safe and calm and his kind, gentle manner put me completely at ease. He was incredibly thorough and took photos and biopsies to ensure that nothing was missed. I would definitely recommend Dr Ramakrishnan and cannot thank him enough.

Dr Ramakrishnan was absolutely amazing. Completely professional, extremely knowledgable and informative, thoughtful, and thorough in every detail. He has a very calming manner and is clearly very knowledgeable which meant I felt I could put my trust in him completely. He took into account every symptom I was presenting with and made sure to rule out other potential issues rather than purely focusing on his area of expertise. His expertise is extremely wide which further reassured me and he wasn’t just focussed on one area. This meant that I had a thorough check and then he was able to make an extremely accurate diagnosis that he then prescribed medication for. He went the extra mile fitting me in for an appointment when he was already fully booked and even staying to talk to me at the end of a shift when he was leaving to go home. I would highly recommend Dr Ramakrishnan.

Dr Ramakrishnan has always been my Consultant since my diagnosis. He is very understanding and very knowledgeable. Recently I needed an emergency appointment and along with the help of his excellent Secretary ensured that I was seen face to face. They both totally understood my circumstances and my desperate need for help. I cannot thank them enough for this help and kindness.

Instils confidence. Makes his diagnosis understandable by using just enough medical language but not too much. Gentle, charming demeanour but thorough.

I have been under the care of Dr Ramakrishnan for a number of years now. He is one of the nicest, friendliest Dr’s I have come across, he explains everything to you without using long medical words that people wouldn’t understand (and also a drawing sometimes). He also spends an appropriate amount of time with you without rushing you and puts a plan in action going forward with you. I have recently moved quite a distance away and will not be seeing Dr Ramakrishnan anymore, but I am extremely grateful for everything that he has done for me while I was he’s patient and will miss him very much. He is going to write to my new gp for me so that I can be recommended to the Gastroenterology department at my local hospital. Would you please thank Dr Ramakrishnan for all of his help in the past and best wishes for his future.
