I've never felt so confident in a medical professionals capabilities as I did with Mr Kumar. He has a confident yet gentle manner to him, and he never makes you feel rushed during your appointments. He's excellent at explaining everything in a way that doesn't feel over complicated or condescending. He treats you like an individual and makes you feel genuinely cared about. On the day of my surgery, Mr Kumar came to see me before the surgery which let me ask any last minute questions, he also came to see me after the surgery was finished, and the next morning as I had to stay in overnight. It was lovely to feel like he was still there available for any questions or concerns I had and that he didn't just move on to the next patient as soon as my surgery was done. The pain after the surgery wasn't bad at all. I only needed pain medication for the first day, and then I managed fine without them. I'm 5 weeks out from surgery now and had my post-operative check with him yesterday. The incision sites are healing well, and I'm feeling really good. I'm now able to eat healthy fats again for the first time in a year and am feeling so positive about the whole experience. If you want a surgeon who genuinely cares about his patients and will go out of his way to give them the best possible outcome, he's the surgeon for you.
Mr Kumar is a soft spoken and kind surgeon who carefully explains every aspect of his surgery
Visit was quick, Mr Kumar went over results and checked over scars. All done on a professional and friendly manner
The procedure went as described. Mr Kumar is an excellent communicator and a very likeable individual.
My experince with Mr Kumar and his team was very professional in both the information given to me at the pre and today post operation review along with the exelent care i received when i was in for my operation and the staff that cared for me over night and i would like to thank you to Mr Kumar and the staff at Albyn for their care.
Mr Kumar as usual is an amazing surgeon. I’m not sure I’ve met a physician who is so good at listening and has a gentle yet confident disposition.
I was very unsure initially about having surgery on my gallbladder. Previously I’d been told to live with it but discomfort was getting worse. After an initial consultation Mr Kumar laid out my options. His message was clear & I was in no way pressured into an immediate decision. Contra indications of operating procedures also explained clearly. Eventually on advice from my own family, a suitable date was found and I went ahead. Mr Kumar & his team were kind & professional. The op went ahead & I stayed overnight. The care by all was excellent. After 2- 3 uncomfortable days at home I then healed very quickly. No problem from wound site at all and little evidence of having had an op. I m happy to say weeks later that I’m completely healed and eating a normal diet again. As far as I can see it’s a fantastic result . So thank you very much Mr Kumar & team.
This was post-op follow up visit. Everything was explained well and I felt listened to and supported.
Particularly impressed by Mr Kumar's professionalism, courteous manners, relaxed but pertinent questioning, and obviously genuine interest in me as a patient. I count myself very fortunate to have been in his care.
Mr Manoj Kumar was outstanding throughout my treatment and consistently demonstrated the highest level of professionalism. From the very first appointment, he made me feel well cared for. I never felt rushed during any consultation. He always took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, answer my questions thoroughly, and explain my condition and treatment options in a clear and understandable way.
