Following a referral from my GP practice, I was accepted for total hip replacement by the NHS to be carried out at the Spire Hospital Manchester. I subsequently attended a preliminary consultation with Mr Arun Kumar who examined me and agreed that the best course of treatment would be a total hip replacement. His team subsequently booked me in for all the necessary tests and surgery was booked for Sunday 7 June 2026. The surgery was carried out without complication and I was discharged by Mr Kumar the following day Monday 08 June 2026 after a post operative x-ray confirmed the surgery had been successful. I have since attended 4 physiotherapy class sessions and have found the whole procedure to be without any concern whatsoever. To conclude, I would not hesitate in recommending Mr Kumar to anyone in need of hip replacement surgery. He explains everything fully and is a very professional surgeon.

I can not thank Mr Kumar and his team enough for giving me back my life. The care i received was wonderful. I had one new hip last year and the other in April this year and now 4 months on i am back doing things that I thought I would never do again. The care and attention I received both before my operations and after was amazing. Thank you Mr Kumar so much. Kindest regards Jean L.

From my first clinic appointment with Mr Kumar, through to my operation and post operative management, I have received outstanding surgical care. Mr Kumar practices in a most professional manner and yet maintains a highly personable nature. He is approachable, instills great confidence and demonstrates an empathetic, caring nature. His amazing surgical skills have massively improved my quality of life and for that I am truly grateful.

Mr Kumar could have not been a better person. From day 1 of meeting him to the day he signed me off was with ease. He made me feel so at ease with the procedure and any question I had he answered. The communication from start to finish was fantastic. I can't thank Mr Kumar enough.
