Dr Aruni Ranasinghe

Written by a patient at West Suffolk Hospital

I was in quite a mess, really ill. Following an initial outbreak of Eczema and Urticaria I was given creams, then steroid creams, increasing in strength over months, then prednisilone, again increasing amounts over months, I was eventually referred to West Suffolk Hospital. I was fortunate to get an appointment with Dr Ranasinghe within a few weeks. Prior to this we had moved from the northwest, to Eye in North Suffolk. We had purchased a restoration project which was suspected of potentially causing the problems. I was examined, tested, watched carefully. I was taking various prescribed medications which results proved were not necessary and so she told me to stop taking them. Seretide 500, Amlopodine, Ezeterol. I was required to have biopsies taken along with patch testing, followed by a team meeting with colleagues. Dr Ranasinghe decided to put me on Azathioprine to wean me off prednisilone. This has taken a while but was very successful, immediately relieving the symptoms and I have been clear now for a year! She is a wonderful lady, thoughtful and with a very pleasing disarming manner. She helped me feel that I was being given the best care possible and in fact I was. There have been no side effects and no noticeable damage to my skin. A really bad situation turned into a successful result. She is an expert in her field, in all respects and I will always be thankful to her for her wonderful care and attention.

I went to see Dr Ranasinghe at a time when I was having a horrible time with my skin. I had a really bad experience with my GP a few days before (he actually made me cry) & I was feeling really down & hopeless. As soon as I walked in her door she welcomed me with a smile and made me feel completely at ease. She is so caring and she listened and understood everything I was saying to her. 3 months later I have just been for my follow up and I can say my skin is so much better thanks to her help. I also know if I do have any reoccurring problems that she will always be there to advise me & that is really reassuring. I cant thank her enough for giving me positivity & hope when I was feeling so low about my skin. She really is an absolute asset to the world of dermatology & I would highly recommend her to anyone.

This lovely Doctor was so wonderful to me in my time of distress, she listened to me and took note of all the details I told her and all the problems that I was going through at that time in my life. She was none judgmental and not only gave me great medical advice and help but also supported me in the turmoil I was going through. All of this helped with my recovery and gave me confidence to fight on and with the help of the doctor and medication I am now able to lead a more full life. I felt and still do that the doctor was really concerned for my welfare and health. Thank you once again Dr Ranasinghe you made a real difference to my health and coping with my illness and life in general.
