Dr Somnath Kumar is professional and gives patients clear medical facts. He provides reassuring visits, hears concerns, and presents exact diagnoses and treatment plans. Some plans involve cardioversion or coronary stent insertion. Patients see Dr Kumar for arrhythmia, palpitations, and chest pain.
Dr Kumar was very helpful and provided the clinical advice and reassurance following my cardiac event.
After feeling a sense of nowhere to turn with my problem, I was immediately put at my ease with Dr Kumar’s approach and his valued attention to what I and my husband had to say. I feel that the root cause of my problem was discussed and explained fully and, therefore, took my fear away and reduced my concerns to a manageable level. This consultation gave me a direction and a management course that I myself could apply and, hopefully will give desired results. I feel so positive for the first time in a long time and feel so much more calm and focussed. It has only been a few days since my consultation and I already feel like I have turned a major corner. I haven’t yet started to take my blood pressure readings because I wanted to ease off with the regularity of doing that which, in itself caused a certain degree of anxiety. I am taking his advice and starting to look after myself now. I cannot thank Dr Kumar enough. Just speaking to him has done more for me than he will know. Thankyou.
Excellent experience, Dr Kumar was very professional and explained everything clearly and I was very happy with the outcomes
The meeting was extremely efficient, he knew all about my notes had a diagnosis for me which he explained in full
Dr Kumar was excellent. He’s obviously an expert in his field and provided a reassuring diagnosis quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again and would highly recommend him.
Excellent listening and communication skills. Use of language appropriate to the layman.
Dr Kumar is excellent, very professional and very calm when explaining things He is very thorough and really pushed to get to the bottom of the problem rather than jumping to a conclusion on something I feel very confident in him.
Pleasant experience. Dr kumar took the time to listen to my concerns, made sure to clarify understanding of my medical history, and was very polite and efficient.
Dr Kumar knew me and my condition extremely well having managed by progress for the past 12 months. He has an excellent grasp of my symptoms and the changes thereto. His ability to make swift diagnoses and specific corrective treatment is impressive, as is his swift attention to administrative arrangements. I always feel totally reassured that my health is in excellent hands.
Excellent service given and very thorough in his explanations. I would recommend, Dr Kumar always lives up to expectations. Thank you again
