My recent visit to Dr Rami Sweis and the subsequent treatment has been faultless. I appreciate the professionalism and care extended to me throughout. It was well explained with a clear plan and follow up. I am very thankful.
Dr. Sweis stands out not only for his clinical expertise but for his rare ability to truly listen. He took the time to understand my symptoms, asked thoughtful questions, and never rushed the consultation. What impressed me most was his openness to collaborative reasoning — he welcomed my input, acknowledged prior investigations, and explained his thought process clearly. Dr. Sweis is not only a great doctor but also a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. Highly recommended.

I was honoured to see Dr Sweis. He was very professional, he thoroughly explained everything to me. I came away feeling calmer, more informative and knew my decision going forward. Dr. Sweis is a brilliant Doctor.
Dr. Sweis listened attentively to my mother’s symptoms and acted quickly with a clear diagnosis and the right treatment plan. Thanks to his expertise, her quality of life has improved tremendously. Dr. Rami Sweis is not only a highly skilled doctor but also deeply compassionate. You can trust that you’ll be in excellent hands under his care.
I have been a regular client of OneWelbeck for various issues an Dr. Sweis was recommended on the back on generic approach for a GI specialist on a self-funded basis. He subsequently undertook a precautionary gastroscopy and colonoscopy at my request reflecting ongoing concern on my side around gastric reflux and potential risk of Barrett's/oesophogeal cancer. I had a one to one consultation either side of the procedure. I found Dr Sweis to be an excellent GI specialist who was able to answer all my questions on the basis of evidence and insight. The procedure was conducted very smoothly and with good live explanation. I would say that Dr. Sweis is high on expertise rather than 'bedside manner' and can be quite direct. But this was fine with me in this circumstance. One minor negative was that Dr Sweis was running over and was 30-45 minutes late for the follow up consultation. Had this been NHS I would have been delighted. But was I was paying I was mildly disappointed.
Dr Sweis diagnosed me quickly, after years of no one being able to help me. I have been getting food stuck in my throat for many years, causing me to choke. Dr Sweis identified and fixed the issue, and the result is life changing.
Dr Rami Sweis is an extremely competent and professional individual. His knowledge and expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of my medical condition was first class and he made me feel at ease through every step of the process and I’m very happy with the outcome. Coupled with that he is an extremely nice guy, I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him
Dr Sweis is an expert in his field. He took the time to listen and fully understand a number of gastric problems I was having and arranged the appropriate tests and minor procedures
