The visit was great accommodating by coming to Norwich and took plenty of time to go through everything I did not feel rushed and was at ease from the moment I walked through the door. The session was thorough and I left knowing exactly what was happening next which took about 3 working days after appointment for follow up communication
Doctor Kumar was very easy to talk to and his professionalism was excellent. I would recommend him to any people
Answered all questions
Friendly and professional throughout!
Helpful Dr was very knowledgeable and kind.
He listened to my difficulties and was patient with my altering moods . He makes clear the options I have and is helpful when I ask any questions regarding my situation.
An online meeting lasting around 35 mins. Dr Kumar was thorough in asking questions that could apply to a range of issues like compulsive behaviours and dramatic mood changes etc so he could really understand what was going on. He asked me what I thought was going on and what I was thinking going into the appointment which was really nice as I'm sometimes hesitant to give my opinion as I'm nowhere near a medical professional. His thinking and next steps for me were thoroughly explained and I left understanding a lot more and left feeling really relieved
I was put at ease and felt that Dr Kumar was listening and understood my mental turmoil.
