The Cardiogram was scheduled very quickly and thorough and the explanation during the follow up consultation was straightforward, informative and reassurring. Thank you.

We were very impressed with our visit to consultant cardiologist Professor Neil Ruparelia at Wellington hospital. The cardiologist was well up to speed on my husbands case crossing 2 continents , a couple of procedures, operation , evaluation of various tests and medicine review. He gave us a coherent and detailed explanation of the reasons for changing his medication and stressed the importance of exercise and moderation in diet.

Very positive experience meeting Prof. Ruparelia recently to consult him about my irregular heartbeat and breathlessness. He is very kind, thorough and immediately put me at ease. He patiently answered all my questions, explained things very carefully and (and capped with some good news), I already felt relieved leaving his clinic. Always a good thing not to have to see a doctor, but should you need to see a cardiologist, I highly recommend Prof. Ruparelia.
