From start to finish I could not have felt safer. It is such a luxury to be able to trust your doctor implicitly and Mr Ramakrishnan provided a beautiful silver lining to a traumatic and scary journey

Mr Ramakrishnan is one of the best doctors I have ever used. I first used Mr R in 2019 for a medial thigh lift as he came highly recommended and then in 2023 for b augmentation. He is both experienced and professional, listening to the patient's needs to ensure the best outcome.
