Faultless diagnosis, explanation and overall care. Very thorough. Unrushed and very willing to listen to my questions, answer them and explain his answers fully. Exceptionally good manner and conduct - you would have thought I was his only patient. You're very fortunate if you are under his care

Read moreI was referred to Dr Ram with severe stomach pains. His approach to diagnosis was systematic and clearly explained to me. During the investigative procedures undertaken by Dr Ram I found his caring approach and professionalism reassuring. Again, his explanations regarding his findings, his diagnosis and recommended treatment were all carefully explained to me and I was given every opportunity to ask questions. I cannot recommend his professionalism, skills and approachability enough.
