Joint Care Clinics Reviews 

I seem to have hit an age where I am getting injuries that do not resolve, which both compromises my pursuit of long distance triathlons and can cause day to day pain. But Ram has helped me overcome my injuries. I have now had three procedures with Ram (knee, hand and shoulder), and as a doctor myself I appreciate his approach and would refer to him without hesitation. His professionalism and passion for his work is immediately apparent, and this translates into a thorough assessment of the presenting issue, and a trust that if there is something to be diagnosed he will do so, as well as offer good advice as to how then to proceed. On this, of my three consultations with Ram, he identified clearly on ultrasound a tendonitis in my hand that I had acquired from swimming, which resolved after one steroid injection (over 1 year now without recurrence); was able to reassure me that on ultrasound there was no obvious major injury to my shoulder such as a tendon tear, but offered me what was an immediately effective steroid injection to the area that he thought clinically would be most appropriate given my impingement syndrome; and similarly with my knee he did not claim to have identified anything remarkable on ultrasound, and gave advice accordingly. Though I hope not to have to need Ram’s services, it is reassuring to know that I can go to him if needed.

After suffering severe pain in both shoulders for months on the NHS waiting list.I visited Ramakkrishna Rachaputi who diagnosed my problem to be Rotator cuff tears in both shoulders.After painless guided cortisone injections , l am now pain free and very happy.I can't recomend 'Ram' and the clinic highly enough.

I have seen Ramakrishna (Ram) twice and he has been fantastically professional, friendly, thorough and knowledgable in diagnosing my issues. Through the use of ultrasound and other tests, he identified my IT band issue and recommended paths to fix the issue, suggesting IT band stretches this time. I cannot recommend this clinic enough and I thoroughly encourage anyone with issues to make it their first port of call. 10/10

I would like to whole heartedly thank Ram. I had been waiting well over 8 months with the NHS to sort out my shoulder problem, to no avail. So looked for a private consultation with Ram at the joint care clinic. After my consultation and an ultrasound which diagnosed arthritis and bursitis, I received steroid injections. I have had steroid injections in the past which I found uncomfortable, but under Ram's expert hands these were not at all painful . One very happy lady.

Ram made me feel safe and comfortable. I watched the procedure on the screen as he injected my hip for bursitis. A week later I was totally pain free. The previous year Ram had dealt with my Morton’s Neuroma and I am still pain free from that. Ram cares about you that’s the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back when needed. Thanks so much Ram

Couldn’t be more impressed by the professional service. My son was in a lot of pain and couldn’t train properly. He was scanned and diagnosed and had a procedure which sorted him out completely. Thank you very much indeed. I will only be using joint care clinics form now on.

Prompt appointment & treatment. Professional service with a full clinical report.

The experience of my consultation with Ram was excellent and I would highly recommend this clinician who's professionalism shone through at all times during my examination. My visit to JCC was to potentially have a cortisone injection for an injured shoulder which is failing to heal after I had already paid a lot of money for a private MRI scan. To mine and his surprise, when using ultrasound, he discovered a tear to my supraspinatus tendon which was not previously picked up so I am now awaiting a referral by my GP to see an Orthopaedic surgeon before we go any further with any injections at this point. Ram found this damage within 5 minutes of assessing my shoulder whilst a large private clinic failed to do so.....enough said and glad I have now made contact with JCC

I had a fantastic experience with the ultrasound scan. Ram was incredibly professional and attentive, making me feel at ease throughout the procedure. The facility was clean and well-equipped, and the technician explained each step clearly. The images provided were clear and detailed, and the results were delivered promptly. I would highly recommend this place for anyone in need of an ultrasound scan.

Highly recommended.
My wife saw Dr Ram at his Rugby clinic a couple of weeks ago after being referred by her rheumatoid consultant for a guided injection into her ham-string. The whole experience was very comfortable and informative with a full explanation of the procedure and it’s pros and cons. Now after just two weeks the pain is so much improved as to allow her to get on with her life.

I saw Ram at the Coventry Clinic last Friday. He is very professional, but most importantly, he listened, explained clearly, and took time to understand, not only my current problem, but what I have been going through medically over the past year in particular.
He carefully explained what I was seeing on the ultrasound scanner, and possible treatments. There was no pressure to have anything else done, indeed, I was told to go away, and think about what I wanted to do. The report and photos were sent quickly to my email address. Thank you.

Had an appointment with Dr Ram at his Milton Keynes clinic. Very professional and friendly throughout, explained in easy to understand detail the best options available. I had Bakers cyst aspiration and also draining of fluid from the front of the knee. Very smooth procedure and highly competitive prices. Would definitely use again and recommend to others

Had an injection in my shoulder with Dr Ram in Leicester and he was very professional and took his time. I didn’t feel rushed and I’m glad to say the pain has been relieved. My partner came with me and has just decided to give it a go for her knee problem. I would definitely recommend.

I had been suffering with a swollen knee and knee pain for a number of weeks which had severely impacted on my mobility. I visited Joint Care Clinics at Newcastle and met Ram. I found him to be extremely professional, courteous and friendly. He carried out a ultrasound scan on my knee and provided me with a clear diagnosis of the problem. I decided to have a cortisone injection and a gel injection which Ram carried out with great care and proficiency. I am very pleased with the results. The swelling has gone and the pain has been relieved. I would highly recommend Ram and this clinic.

I would highly recommend joint Care Clinics.

A truly amazing experience visiting DR Ram at the clinic today.

I was given a USG guided injection to help with pain and movement to my frozen shoulder. Before administering the injection Dr Ram scanned the shoulder and showed me exactly what he was going to do. He also pinpointed a secondary issue I can now refer to my Doctor. I made a 13 hour round trip from Devon and it was so well worth it

Id been suffering with shoulder pain for over a year which by January had reduced me to just existing and taking pain killers. The GPs fobbed me off with a printout of physio exercises. Desperate, a week ago I visited Ram at his Jesmond clinic. I found him to be very professional, took his time to explain what he was doing and what my diagnosis is. He administered two injections which I hardly felt. The whole experience was great as Ram was friendly and clearly loves his job. A week on I am totally pain free, movement back and praying the effect will last a while. If I need to have further treatments I will definitely go back to Ram. In fact I wish I’d done it months ago.

Following a gym-cident in September I'd been in daily pain with my shoulder and arm. My mobility was severely limited and I was unable to do simple tasks, such as put dinner plates in a cupboard or pour water from a kettle. The pain at night would keep me awake. I'd worked with my trainer and my sports masseuse as I thought the issue was a pulled muscle, but nothing we did gave me any comfort. It was suggested a I get an ultrasound to see what the issue was. My first ultrasound was at a clinic I'd used before, they identified it as a shoulder impingement and suggested a guided cortisone injection. Sadly the wait on the NHS is months long so I decided to look privately and came across some wonderful reviews about Ram.

I was super hesitant as I'd not used Ram before and having anyone inject you, you have to be sure they know what they are doing. Ram was incredible. I was able to see him within 48 hours and even though I'd had one ultrasound he was thorough and performed his own and not only did he concur with the impingement, he found a small calcium deposit that could impact me over time. He agreed a cortisone injection would be the best treatment and he administered that for me there and then. The injection was mildly uncomfortable, nowhere near as painful as I thought it could be. Within minutes my pain score was significantly less, I was able to put my coat on with no arm pain. I woke up the next morning pain free, for the first time in three months. My mobility was back but was advised by Ram to take it easy for the next week, no other physio or sports massages. I returned to the gym last night and was able to resume my workout pain free and with my mobility back! Ram gave me advice on what arm exercises to avoid in the future in order to keep any calcium deposits to a minimum. I only wish I had seen Ram first and had the guided ultrasound with him first. I'd have been pain free much sooner.

Ram is calming, knowledgeable and will relax the most nervous of patient. I would heartily recommend Ram and his MSK guided ultrasound to anyone looking for a exceptional clinician.

I have had an ongoing injury due to repetitive strain causing tennis elbow and golfers elbow.

I decided to find a private company instead of the long wait on the NHS. I had a consultation with Ram who was very professional and explained everything about the treatment I needed to get better.

I would like to thank him for the amazing and professional work he carried out, fixing this issue that’s been affecting me for the past 3 years. Anyone looking for PRP injections I would highly recommend using this company.

Finally I am pain free and can continue with working and getting back to every day life without any worries

Managed to get an appointment with Ram Rachaputi
at short notice
Excellent service He took time to explain everything to do with my ankle and used a scanner to locate the specific area that needed treatment. He treated accordingly. Would certainly recommend
