      I had the opportunity to consult with Dr. Ramakrishnan S for my mother this week: we are so thankful and feel blessed that we received his direction and treatment plan. His concern for the patient and the family, deep empathy and the words of kindness and wisdom touched all of us. As a patient/patient family, we know that we are in the best hands and restored our confidence in an otherwise dark week. Our heartfelt gratitude to Dr Ramakrishnan.

      Went to this doc for consultation with my friend. He did a physical check up and confirmed my friend does not have Rheumatic arthritis and also advised not to waste money on further checkups. He also took enough time to check. Typically spends 10 minutes with a patient. We had an appointment by 1945 hrs but I guess that was the time when he met his first patient. His assistants would first ask some questions regarding previous medical history and allergies and send the file to him and then you get to see him. He sits in the Sindoori block basement in the Apollo main hospital off greams road. His consultation fees has to be paid in cash only. Also there are 3 ATM machine within Apollo premises, so that should not be a problem.

      I am from Chennai, When almost all doctors in Chennai where unable to diagnose my problem, Dr. Ramakrishnan identified with appropriate tests and started with my medications and experiencing great amount of relief since then. Not all doctors of his experience and caliber entertain a friendly chat, as far as I know. But Dr.Ramakrishnan’s method of interacting gave me a great amount of relief even before the treatment:) Also he ensures he calmly listens to the patient and understands our concerns and informs why we are experiencing such traumas. Total pleasant experience.

      He is the best doctor my mom has been to. She had been suffering from rheumatoid fr a long time, but whn she started her treatment with him she started feeling wayyyyyyyyy better. The way the doc spoke to her, the jokes he cracked and the jolly good attitude of him heals a patient from the inside and makes the patient completely alright.

      Dr. Ramakrishnan S is definitely the best rheumatologist I have yet met in India. Actually it was for my wife and I had consulted Doctors in Kolkata but with no visible results. My wife is under his treatment since last three months and with a remarkable recovery.. He is very friendly and approachable person who has the patience to hear out the patient's queries.

      Dr. Ramakrishnan is the best Rheumatologist for sure. We live in Chicago and my husband had been under his treatment for an autoimmune problem. As soon as we started his medication, the test parameters started becoming better. With in a week, we were able to see the difference. We are very thankful and blessed to have received treatment under him. He is experienced and his medical expertise is exceptional. When we returned to US, the doctors here in Chicago were impressed with the treatment he administrated for my husband back in India. They were asking us if Dr. Ramakrishnan practiced medicine in US. Dr. Ramakrishnan's treatment plan and care is truly world class. The best Rheumatologist we have ever seen. For us he is blessing in disguise. We highly recommend him.

      Dr. Ramakrishanan is very approachable, friendly and passionate about his work. He is available for the patients even on email. Once I was facing some issues and I mailed him ( He was in US then ) and he promptly replied to me and asked me to do some tests. As soon as he was back I met him and he remembered that I was unwell. He meets so many patients everyday, yet he remembered about me. He doesn't scare the patients like others do even in the worst scenario he will say ''I am there, I will take care. Keep doing the great work doctor!!"

      Dr. Ramakrishnan is a kind, patient and jovial doctor. Apart from his high experiences in the field, when his patients are in distress, he takes care of them like his own family member. He also gives personal number to contact during emergencies which a lot of doctors don't do. He is a lucky charm and i highly recommend him.
