About

Mr James Ramus is a Consultant Upper GI and Bariatric Surgeon. He completed his medical degree at St Mary's Hospital Medical School in 1997 and completed his basic training in London and higher surgical training in Oxford.

He is actively involved in clinical research and has over 25 publications. He became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2009.

He was first appointed as a Consultant Upper GI and Bariatric Surgeon in 2012 at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading. Since then, Mr Ramus has been involved in developing the hospital's bariatric surgical service into a Level 1 Centre and performs over 200 bariatric procedures a year.

Explanation

I consulted Mr Ramus last September for repair surgery following the diagnosis of recurrence from an earlier hernia operation done elsewhere. I found Mr Ramus to be courteous, approachable and highly professional during all my appointments. The operation itself went extremely well using keyhole surgery and subsequently I have happily experienced no problems at all. I now have scarcely any external traces at all of the operation and have been enjoying full mobility with no discomfort whatsoever. I am extremely grateful to Mr Ramus for his excellent surgical work.

James Ramus is a very skilled surgeon, both in laparoscopic, robotic and open surgical procedures. He has considerable expertise in weight loss surgery, and wide experience in many weight loss procedures. He provides excellent care for his patients and is very popular with patients and colleagues alike.
