Dr. Ramar has been an incredible support throughout my surgery journey. Their expertise, care, and compassion made all the difference. I am truly grateful for their dedication and guidance every step of the way. Thank you so much, Dr. Ramar for your exceptional care! I am truly blessed to have had you as my doctor! Your care has made a significant difference in my life, and I will always be grateful for your support.

After being told by a previous consultant that my scan showed probable gallbladder cancer and that he could not deal with it, I sought a second opinion with Mr Ramar. He was immediately reassuring and discussed potential other pathologies. He then quickly and efficiently arranged for further scans before removing the gallbladder - which turned out to be acutely inflamed and with adenomyatosis and a large stone. Mr Ramar was at all times helpful and encouraging. I am very grateful to have put my trust in him at a time when I was very anxious about my health. I would strongly recommend him as a consultant in this field.

It was easy for me to put my trust in Mr Ramar for my unusual appendectomy. My first consultation was booked for the day after my first phone call and the surgery carried out within a fortnight. At every stage, the information I received was clear and I am pleased to say that after my final check up yesterday, my recovery is going well.

Mr Ramar made me feel very at ease when I see him and he explained everything to me and when I asked him something he explained it to me so I was at ease with it all. Mr Ramar was polite and very clear with everything. Mr Ramar has given me my life back and I am very grateful for all the help and treatment he has given me, and because he was so good with explaining everything it made the decision easy to have surgery. I am so pleased I had Mr Ramar as my surgeon and looked after me after surgery
