- Mr Pal Ramesh was very helpful and really informative whilst supporting me through a footballing injury in my heel. I would defiantly recommend!
- I would like to thank Mr Ramesh and team for excellent treatment and care I received at Parkside hospital.
- I had a very positive experience with this doctor. They took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and explained everything in a clear and reassuring way. I felt comfortable asking questions, and nothing felt rushed. The care I received was professional and thoughtful throughout. I really appreciate their approach and would highly recommend them to others.
- I visited the clinic for a bunion consultation and was very impressed with the level of care provided by Mr Ramesh. Mr Ramesh was kind, patient, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. I left feeling confident about my treatment plan and grateful for such attentive service.
- I could not rate the Nuffield Medical Practice team any higher - they made me feel so welcome and cared for with any and all concerns I had (a special thank you to Dr Ed). My only feedback is Dr Ramesh’s bedside manners on peoples HIV status - didn’t make me feel that good on the first time I met him, and knowing that I had moved 2 hours away - had to come in for my 1 month check up, where I saw him for 10min (4 hours of traveling for this). Overall - the team are truly wonderful! Thank you
- The best consultant ever he listened, and was genuine, kind & compassionate. These qualities are essential as well as the surgical skills sets. Thank you Ramesh.
