He was extremely understanding and made a lot of sense. Much Appreciated
Dr Kumar was kind sensitive understanding and professional, having taken time to read preparatory information supplied in advance despite relative short notice. Having done so informed his approach to make a thorough assessment. Reframing questions as and when required to elicit responses to build an evidence based clinical picture. My internet connection failed midway, Dr Kumar took the initiative to follow this up to reestabish connection. Dr Kumar was kind hearted sensitive and enabled an open approach for which I did not feel judged. The conclusions were expressed in an emphatic positive affirming manner. I wish him well in his career
He was clear about what was happening and felt more like a conversation than a consult. The questions he asked felt relevant and Dr Kumar was very calming. I was anxious going into the call and at the beginning but he helped calm me down.
Dr Kumar had a nice relaxed manner, I felt very comfortable talking to him. He clarified some questions that I wasn't really understanding patiently. Overall I think the assessment was a positive experience.
A professional and supportive consultation. I felt listened to and had a good experience.
Dr Kumar took the time to understand my circumstances and past experiences/medication before taking myself through some questions. At all times, they were engaged and understanding which made a massive difference to myself.
I felt extremely comfortable opening up and talking to Dr Praveen . He was very easy to talk to and made me feel safe enough to express myself . Very professional . I definitely recommend
Praveen put me at ease, listened to me, made suggestions and gave me an opportunity to off load some of my stress. He navigated through my thoughts and experiences to give me a possible solution
