Dr Ramrakha was introduced by Dr Charles Middle. I had waited too long for an NHS appointment and decided to go private. I was concerned about incidents of irregular heart palpitations which lasted for several hours. Dr Ramrakha is clearly a very experienced consultant, but has the gift of being able to explain the relevant anatomy and associated symptoms in a clear manner.

I sought to consult Dr Ramrakha a couple of years ago. I selected the doctor after reviewing all the cardiologists presented to me by BUPA. From our first meeting I have felt that his expertise in monitoring my heart has given me reassurance that I am in good hands. I am content to be guided by this sociable professional and have only positive comments toward him.

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!
