Dr Deepak Ravindran 2018-12-02 Person 5 5 0

I'm hugely grateful to Dr Ravindran for both his compassion and his expertise. He took time to understand my symptoms, my history and what was important for me and treated me with kindness at all times, even when busy on clinics. He explained the deeper intricacies of chronic pain and the various treatment rationale - the pros, the cons and what was known (and in many cases not known) about how they work. He gave me hope whilst never raising my expectations too high and always made me feel like there were options and most importantly, that I wasn't crazy. His approach was holistic, not just looking at medical therapies but also referring me to a pain psychologist which made a huge difference to my pain and wasn't something that had been previously recommended. I saw him at both the Circle and the Spire Dunedin and it was clear how much his team also enjoy working with him and respect him which speaks volumes in itself. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr R or his team to anyone suffering from chronic pain who wants to feel listened to, cared for and empowered.
