This was an initial visit. I asked my GP to refer me to Dr Ramrakha because I had had two recent visits to A & E with chest pains and CT scans had shown problems with my heart. This was followed by an echocardiogram and 48 hour tape, but then I was referred back to my GP without any follow up from cardiology. Dr Ramrakha was very professional. He took details of my symptoms, past medical history and medication, as well as having access to the echocardiogram I had last year. He explained to me what the results of the echocardiogram showed, and has arranged for me to have another one to see if there has been any change within the last year. He diagnosed angina and has arranged for me to have an angiogram, as well as prescribing medication to alleviate my symptoms. During my initial appointment Dr Ramrakha has given me a diagnosis, prescribed medication to alleviate my symptoms, arranged for further investigations to be carried out , and a management plan for the way forward.

I attended a consultation with Dr Ramrakha in May. Having been under his care for more than 20 years, I continue to be impressed by his professionalism, expertise, and commitment to patient care. During this recent appointment, he took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explain my condition and treatment options clearly, and answer all my questions in a reassuring and understandable manner. His long-term knowledge of my medical history allows for a highly personalized approach, which I greatly value. I left the appointment feeling well informed, confident in my care plan, and reassured about my ongoing treatment. I am very grateful for the consistently high standard of care I have received over the years.

Punit is an extremely astute and capable cardiologist and enormously popular with his patients As I look after the pipes and he does the pump we have a large number in common. Perhaps the highest recommendation is that he is my cardiologist enabling me to keep my pilots license in the teeth of bureaucratic intransigence over erroneous investigations!
