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.
From entering the hospital to leaving,was so greatful to all the staff from Mr. Kumar, ,the,,nurses ,and all involved in my stay at the hospital. Thank you so much.
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.
My experience for my second hip replacement was excellent same as my first one. Mr Kim’s gave very clear and concise advice explaining the need for surgery including his surgical history regarding clinical outcomes post op all bring positive. I received brilliant one to one care and advice from the start of my journey to discharge. I felt safe in his care. My round healing and scar are clean and neat.
From the initial meeting with Mr. Arun Kumar, I felt confident he understood my problem. He explained clearly what was required. yet I did not feel rushed into making a decision, though I was made aware of alternative ways forward.
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.
I recently had surgery for a hip replacement by Mr. Kumar. Everybody was very professional but friendly and the whole experience was very positive. The surgery was a great success and I would certainly recommend Mr. Kumar to anybody needing hip/knee surgery.
I am delighted with the care I received from Mr Arun Kumar for my total hip replacement. From the first consultation through to surgery and recovery, he was professional, reassuring and genuinely caring. The operation has been life-changing, and my recovery has gone better than I expected. Thank you for your skill, expertise and excellent care. I would highly recommend r Arun Kumar to anyone considering hip replacement.
Everything was explained to me clearly. The outcome is better than i expected.
I have worked with Arun on number of occasions. I value his clinical and patient management skills.
