Dr Gerrard Teoh Kheng Hoe, 52, a haematologist and the medical director at the Clinic for Blood Disorders and Research, Gleneagles Hospital, was also found to have been using methods which were "generally not accepted" by the medical profession.
The complaint arose from a complaint on Aug 13 three years ago.
A statement from the SMC on Friday morning said that health of the patient deteriorated and suffered complications after undergoing the treatment by Dr Teoh.
