How glad I am that I can cite my experience with Dr. R. Ram Kumar and his staff at Thyroid Centre! From my very first visit at the Clinic, I was made to feel welcome and comfortable both by the friendly competence of the staff and the pleasant environment of the clinic itself.
I know Dr. R. Ram Kumar since Feb’17 when I first went to his clinic in Anna Nagar for a Thyroid check-up. The reason for my visit was to take his opinion for my Hypo – Thyroidism.
Starting with the courteous receptionist when first walking in that day, each staff member (blood work nurse, Lab technician, doctor’s assistant, exit billing staff) presented themselves in a positive, professional manner and made my visit as comfortable as they possibly could.
I also appreciated the cleanliness of the waiting room, examination rooms and Wash room.
A special thanks to the doctor for taking extra time to methodically *** ********** diagnose the problem and control Thyroid issue with simple prescriptions and follow-ups and reminders from Staff on the Medicine, health improvement and feedback.
I was more confident during my second visit on the 13th May’17 for review after three months and doctor always had time to talk about my issues in depth and is open to looking at ways of dealing with them.
“Both doctor and nutritionist were caring and concerned, friendly while maintaining professional and efficient standards of service. Please forward my thanks on to each and every one of the staff there. Thanks!!”

Hi folks, I am Narayanan and I met Dr. Ramkumar, since I suspected I had sub-clinical Hyperthyroidism (TSH was low, but normal T3/T4 levels).
This is my story and how I overcame it. In the month of Jan I had master health check up in Global Hospital and all my thyroid levels were normal, but I had stage 2 fatty liver and I was asked by the doctor to lose weight.
Fast forward 3/4 months, I lost close to 18 kgs because of Diet and exercise and when I went for the blood work along with ultrasound, it showed my fatty liver has been completely cured, but my TSH was at 0.14 (normal levels being 0.54 to 4.5 something) and I retook the test 3 weeks later and my TSH went down further to 0.03.
I thought let's go and meet a endocrinologist, since I was worried why TSH became so low. So when I met Ramkumar Ramadas, he advised me to undergo few blood tests and I had high cortisol levels. Also I had for 2 months or so poor sleep ** **** ***** *** **** ******* ******** ** *****************
Personally I know pretty well the reason for losing weight is because of my diet and exercise and the sleepness was due to sheer anxiety that I had because of my stage 2 fatty liver ****** *** ***** *** ** **** ********
But I didn't trust myself and I just wanted my thesis to be confirmed by a endocrinologist. But unfortunately Ramkumar diagnosed me as having Hyperthyroidism and prescribed me anti thyroid medications (Methimazole) and Escimax (Clonazepem) for my anxiety and sleeplessness. *** ********** ********** ** ** **** *** ******* *** ******* **** **************** I was having all the classic symptoms.
I bought the medicine ******* *** **** **** *** and I did take anti thyroid medication for few days (4 days to be precise) *** * ************* *** ****** ****** ****** *** **** *** on the advise of doctor (spoke with one of the assistant over the phone) I stopped taking medicine and I was advised to undergo RAI therapy.
At that point in time, I somehow made up my mind that nothing was wrong with me and it's because of my diet and exercise over the past few months somehow played with my TSH value.
I just went back to my original diet and also stopped doing exercise to see if that had any effect on my TSH levels and also I came across a blog online ******************************************************************************** ***** *********** ** ******* *** ***** ** *** ******* ******** **** *** Below are my TSH levels taken over the past 2 months (0.19, 0.38, 1.98, 1.40 and 2.09).
From my personal experience, before seeing doctor make yourself absolutely sure that there is something wrong with you. ** * *** ********* *** ******** * ***** **** ****** ** ************** *** **** *** * ***** **** ********* ******** *********** ** **** ** ******* ** ******* ******* Also just to add I didn't take even one table to escimaz CZ ***** ******* ***** *** **** ******* ****** and I sleep pretty well now.
With regards to my treatment from the doctor, I don't find anything wrong since I was having all the classical symptoms associated with hyperthyroidism and he treated me accordingly. It's the responsibility of the individual to know about his body more and luckily I was aware of even minute changes and I took action accordingly. Have trust in yourself and your health will take care of itself.

Dr. Ramkumar treats my senior citizen parents for Diabetes, Thyroid and Obesity management. In my experience he is a rare doctor who is like a “One stop Shop” for multiple problems. He explains the health issues clearly with causes and preventive methods. His treatment process and protocols are well established and followed to the dot with clarity and meticulousness. His support staff is also very productive and very courteous and supportive to all patients making everything seamless. I am happy with his treatment for my parents as well as my wife.

** ******* ** **** *********** ** *** **** ** **** ** ******** ******* *** ******** ******** The way he explains the cause and remedy for the illness after patiently listening to each and every minute details uttered by the patient makes one feel that we are heard wholly. The best part is after getting all the information from us Doctor keeps asking if we want to add anything and this he does several times. His notion is to get the detailed information of the patient's ailment so that the diagnosis and treatment thereafter would be rendered precisely.
I wish to spread Dr.Ramkumar's speciality to all my friends and relatives so that they can avail tge best of treatment just in case someone needs attention on Thyroid and Diabetic care. And if I don't mention the way their staff nurses treat us were splendid. In nutshell 100 marks to the whole Team. Special thanks to Sister Bhutan 👍
