He was very patient and educational with my complex foot condition. He also expedited my ultrasound injection as there was a longer wait time than expected in Radiology. His admin support was also very efficient and supportive. Highly recommend Mr Kumar. He is very experienced.
I was interested in Arthrosamid injections to assist my arthritic knees. Mr Kumar very clearly and gently said my arthritis was too far advanced for this treatment to be effective. I was disappointed but clearly understood why the treatment was not for me. I felt the whole consultation was positive even though the outcome was, for me, not necessarily what I wanted to hear. Mr Kumar suggested alternative treatments, which I had previously tried, and will now give another try.

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are pleased you found the consultation clear and helpful, and wish you all the best with your treatment going forward!
Mr Kumar explained what was wrong with my knee in great depth. He showed me the MRI images on the screen which was so helpful He talked through my treatment options in a clear and precise manner

Thank you for your wonderful review!
No apologies for being 20 minutes late. No time for me in the appointment. No recognition of my struggles with knee arthritis in his correspondence. No empathy whatsoever. Really poor experience.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sincerely sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. We always aim to keep our clinics running on time, although on rare occasions appointments can overrun when patients require additional time and care. We are also sorry if the clinic letter did not reflect the impact your arthritis has on your day-to-day life. Clinic letters are intended to be factual clinical summaries of the consultation and findings. We appreciate your feedback and will reflect on your comments as we continue to improve the care we provide.
Mr Kumar went above and beyond from my first appointment with him. He performed a procedure immediately and relieved enormous pressure and pain. I cannot thank him enough for his intervention. First Class.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback!
I was seen within an hour & a half of my phoning to make the appointment. Mr Kumar was excellent & promptly diagnosed my torn Achilles Tendon even before the MRI was done. I am eternally grateful for his prompt assistance. his

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback!
I found Mr Kumar to be very attentive and was recommended by my daughter-in-law after Mr Kumar operated on her knee last year after a ski accident. It was nice that he walked me down to the MRI scan on my first visit.

Thank you for your feedback, and for taking the time to share your experience for other patients to read.
