I am writing on behalf of my wife Mrs. Divya Srinivasan.
She had visited Dr. Ramakrishnan at The Capstone Clinic in Chennai and has provided a wonderful feedback. My wife had tremendous pain across the body, especially in the ankles. We had been to an Ortho Specialist, who redirected us to the Rheumatologist.
I have worked and lived across the world and have seen umpteen physicians and medical specialists. From wh** * ***** * **** **** *** ************* *** ************** ** *** ******** ****** ** *** ** **e best who had not only diagnosed that my wife is not suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis, but had also bolstered her level of confidence by his outstanding sense of humor and practical approach.
I have no reservations in highly recommending Dr. Ramakrishnan to whomsoever in need of his empathy and compassion. Kudos doctor. Keep up the good job.
Best Regards,

Dr. Ramakrishnan is a highly experienced Rheumatologist with a positive demeanor.
If your blood test shows RA positive, there's no need to panic; consider consulting a rheumatologist instead of an orthopedist,(Rheumatologist) as they specialize in autoimmune diseases and guide you to the right medication.
From personal experience, both myself and a friend tested positive initially, but after 30 days, the results were negative. Kindly confirm your report with right doctors.
Dr. Ramakrishnan is exceptional in this regard; I've witnessed firsthand the positivity and confidence of patients in his waiting room. While medication plays a role, your mindset contributes significantly—90%—to recovery. Even in severe cases, Dr. Ramakrishnan's commitment never wavers; he ensures you receive the best care possible.
Dr. Ramakrishnan's humility and sense of humor have garnered him a multitude of fans, myself included.

An experienced Doctor with a touch of friendliness and great sense of humor. First visit gave me comfort of immediate solution to gout attack I had for almost a week. Doctor goes very much into details and suggested tests before prescribing medicines. Had an appointment with him this morning and while typing this feedback in the evening my gout pain is almost under control. Just note, you need to go early for your appointment or have patience with a long queue of patients waiting.

This was a most unpleasant experience.
Appointment was taken for 1150 AM.
At 0851 AM I get a call from Doctor's assistant to come early say by one hour since the doctor is leaving on holiday. Me & husband managed to reach the clinic by 1100 AM. On arrival we were told 7 patients before us. While waiting one lady who came after us was sent in before us.
Next the Doctors understudy went through our reports & made the brief case history.
On entering the doctors chamber Dr. Ramakrishna n's the body language the constant speaking in mobile leaving the chamber repeatedly while talking to the patient *** *** ****** **** ** ** **** ***** *********** ************* The most sad part was being overweight @83 kgs due to lack of excersise due to pain from various issues the doctor instead of being compassionate made remarks like how do you manage with this weight & tummy ** * ********** ******* This despite after during the initial conversation my husband being a retired Indian Air Force Officer saying that IAM a legal Consultant with CDAC Govt of India Ministry of Electronics & IT. * *** **** ******* **** ******* ** ******** ******** * *** **** ***** ** *********Having travelled all over India & visited both Military & Private Hospitals in Cities like Pune, Mumbai Nashik, Nagpur never felt as bad as this

I had been diagnosed with sle, i was in a very critical stage suffering in death bed, i was previously was admitted in a private hospital where they said they can't save me and they gave zero hope and refused to treat further, we immediately approached
Dr Ramakrishnan he never even said a word when we asked him to treat half the way as I was in a very bad stage, he took it as a challenge , he was the one who gave treatment and saved my life , such a humble, down to earth and good human . Definitely a great doctor with kind heart, I would recommend him blind folded.

Firstly he is an wonderful human being. The way he interacted and assessed my condition is simply amazing. I walked into his consulting desk with lot of confussions and walked out with lot of clarity.
