Auckland Rheumatology and Sports Medicine Ltd

Dr Suppiah provided the WORST care I have ever received from a Dr.A complete lack of care for the pain I was in, and he treated my appointment like it was a bother to him or waste of his time. It felt very rushed, and he did not look at the area of pain until I basically begged him too during my $500+ 20 minutes appointment. I received such wonderful care from the other professionals I saw over my time with him (the Fellow at the hospital for example took just over an hour to ask me questions, do a full examination and run me through possible diagnosis). Dr Suppiah gave me meds with no explanation as to the side effects (which turned out to be so bad I came off them very quickly), asked me nothing about any medical history in the family which might trigger these reactions, and didn't tell me what to do I had to come off them. I had to google and research all of this myself. My during my final appointment he gave me a diagnosis to something I had to later google due to lack of ANY information given during the call, and still I can't find proper info on. I wasn't given a care plan, and when asked if I could contact him if I had any further questions on this diagnosis he literally told me 'no, I have more important patients to treat'. Left me in tears at the end of every appointment due to this complete and utter lack of care.

I can highly recommend the practice. I was also treated very well as an international patient. Very friendly team and very competent doctor, who can also get special medications from abroad.

Doctor Ravi Suppiah is an excellent physician. I have always found him very knowledgeable and most helpful.
