Patients describe Mr Arun Kumar as professional, caring, and reassuring. His surgical skills deliver excellent outcomes for both hip and knee replacements, leading to improved mobility and freedom from pain. These common orthopaedic operations significantly enhance patients' quality of life.
Mr Kumar is so deligent in his attention and very professional. He is a conscientious and experienced specialist who made me feel very confident at every turn of the procedure involving my left hip replacement. The after care in the hospital was magnificent and the physiotherapy extremely thorough. I am so very happy and relieved with the results. I find myself pain free and mobile for a new lease of life! Thankyou with all sincerity Mr Kumar. With kind regards
I cannot recommend Mr Arun Kumar and the team at The Alexander hospital enough from my initial consultation to my post op recovery,the care was exceptional.The hip replacement has given me my mobility back and completely eliminated my pain. I highly recommend Mr Kumar to anyone needing this surgery.
I have recently had my left knee replacement under Mr Kumar. On recovery an independent physio said it was done by an incredibly talented surgeon or I’d worked hard with the exercises. I have 100% bend & recovery. Mr Kumar is incredible. He is very reassuring & explains the whole process. He also did my right knee & left hip & all very successful. I cannot rate him highly enough & I am forever thankful.
Mr Kumar, from the outset, was incredibly kind and highly empathic. His swift diagnosis and treatment plan were carried out exceptionally. The hip surgery was quickly booked, Mr Kumar’s surgical skills and bedside manner were excellent.
My appointment was a follow-up eight weeks after receiving a fill replacement left hip joint, performed by Mr Kumar at the Alexandra Hospital, Cheadle. my recovery had been very satisfactory and I was able to walk easily from the carpark to the hospital without any walking aids. After my discharge I had used Codine Phosphate, reducing the dose to 2 tablets a day by day 5, and stopping them entirely by day 13 and I stopped taking paracetamol tablets after 17 days. The physio exercises proved very helpful and greatly helped improve my mobility progressively, and after 5 weeks I was only using a single elbow crutch when outdoors. My wound had healed very well and I felt there was nothing that I wanted to do that I could not do. My Kumar was pleased with my recovery and overall mobility, and suggested a few additional exercises. Looking ahead, the X-ray of my pelvis showed arthritis in my right hip (but not as severe as on my left hip), and Mr Kumar suggested he would keep this under review, initially by referring me through the NHS. It was a most reassuring visit.
Mr Kumar has been the surgeon who operated when I had the replacement of both knees and also my hip. All have had excellent outcomes and have enabled me to return to tennis and golf.
I was a bit apprehensive about the procedure but when I met Mr Kumar he put me at ease. He explained everything to me on my first visit. On the day of the procedure he came to see me before and after. I cant thank him enough for his professionalism and caring attitude and for helping me through what could have been a difficult time. Thank you.
I found Mr Kumar both professional and approachable. He was very experienced and didn’t make a drama out of my operationI liked his attitude towards what I could and couldn’t do. Would certainly not hesitate to recommend him .
I would highly recommend Mr Kumar. He carried out a left total knee replacement on me in October. He fully explained the procedure and aftercare in a clear and understanding manner. His care and empathy was second to none. I am now pain free, mobile and enjoying my day to day activities. I am truly grateful to Mr Kumar and all the staff at The Alexandra Hospital who all went above and beyond during my stay.
I have worked with Arun on number of occasions. I value his clinical and patient management skills.
