I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018 and was advised that a mastectomy and breast reconstruction would be the ideal treatment. I was soon introduced to Professor Venkat Ramakrishnan at the Nuffield Brentwood Hospital. I was scared, nervous and unsure as to what the future had in store for me.
At my first consultation, Professor Ramakrishnan was most caring and understanding. He had excellent listening skills and sensitively explained that the best route for me was to have a DIEP flap reconstruction. Before making any final decision I was strongly encouraged to attend the Professors Bra Group Meetings of patients who were in various stages of recovery from a similar operation. I was hesitant to attend at first, but the benefit of listening and hearing the accounts of other ladies in a similar situation to me was very beneficial.
I was given the best possible treatment during my surgery and was constantly reassured by Professor Ramakrishnan. He explained everything in clear and simple terms and I quickly had faith and confidence in his approach. A couple of days after the surgery, whilst still in the hospital there was a complication. The Professor was contacted at his home and he immediately returned to the hospital to assist me and give me and my family further reassurance. Nothing is too much trouble for this man.
Having a mastectomy and a DIEP flap reconstruction is not a quick fix. It is a journey. But now two years on I have been discharged from his clinic and I can honestly say that I am delighted with the first-class treatment I received.
Professor Venkat Ramakrishnan is well and worthily recommended.

My experience was 1st Class, I felt cared for and totally informed all the way. Dr Ramankrishnan was excellent on every stage, Nuffield Hospital staff where so kind I could not fault one part of the procedure and the result far outweighed my expectations. Thank you to you all. I can’t recommend enough.

I had visited a couple of surgeons before I ‘d met Prof ramakrishnan and as soon as I met him I knew he was the one to perform my breast reconstruction . He was totally honest from the beginning on what to expect . I trusted him implicitly and am so happy with how I look . I feel normal again and he has given me my life back .
Thank you so much Professor Ramakrishnan

At first I found Mr Ramakrishnan care a little too cautious in hindsight I can see he was extremely professional from the very start.
My care was fantastic, before, during and after surgery.
I am over the moon with results and had support from Mr Ramakrishnan for many months.
With underlying medical conditions I do not feel any short cuts or risks were taken, in fact quite the opposite.
I received the utmost care at all times and certainly recommend the services of Mr Ramakrishnan and his team.
