“After years of struggling with really bad migraines, almost on a daily basis. I was beginning to give up for any type of relief that you could help me. I have seen many doctors in the private sector and public sectors, including professors and even the headache clinic. Spending thousands of Rands and being prescribed all types of medication with serious side effects that these doctors don’t tell you about. I have done acupuncture and various other methods to find a cure for this debilitating illness. Meeting Dr Rapiti I was really sceptical. He listened to my history of my illness with real empathy and with genuine concern, something that lacked with all the private doctors and professionals I have seen.
The doctor then advised on what methods he will be using and we started treatment. Within a few weeks my pain was reduced by 80% and headaches became less frequent and I experienced relief after so many years of pain. Every time I visited Dr. Rapiti’s office I felt so much better and started to get some type of normal life back. I would highly recommend anyone with a chronic illness to visit his offices and get proper treatment. We need more doctors like this.
Thank You Doc, you literally saved my life and will visit you soon.”
