From my first visit through to surgery and post op Mr Kumar has been most professional. He provided clear explanations, diagnostics and fully explained what he was going to do and what I needed to do to assist my recovery from a full knee replacement. His secretarial staff were most efficient and very quick to respond to any query I had. The anaethesist he recommended Mr Bawa was also very good and addressed all my concerns regarding a spinal block anaesthetic and was very reassuring throughout my procedure

I cannot recommend Mr Kumar highly enough. From my very first consultation, he was professional, approachable, and extremely reassuring. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely confident in the decision to proceed with a total knee replacement. On the day of surgery, his calm and confident manner put me at ease, and it was clear I was in exceptionally capable hands. The surgery went very smoothly, and the care and precision he showed were outstanding. Following the operation, the aftercare and follow up were excellent. Mr Kumar continued to be attentive, supportive, and encouraging, and my recovery has been progressing really well. I am already seeing positive improvements, which is a true reflection of his expertise and skill. Mr Kumar is a truly brilliant consultant — knowledgeable, compassionate, and clearly outstanding at what he does. I felt well cared for at every stage and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering knee surgery.

I was at first apprehensive about having a partial knee replacement. Mr Kumar took me through everything regarding the procedure and explained in detail the potential outcome. This consultation put my mind at rest.
