He is faultless in pre-op, in surgery and post-op and exudes the confidence which makes light of major surgery and aftercare.

From the point of diagnosis I felt completely safe and reassured which was invaluable to me. His explanation of my forthcoming treatment was exemplary covering all aspects of surgery and treatment.

From our first meeting I found Mr Kumar to be upbeat, yet very clear in his diagnosis and next steps. He is highly competent and willing to listen, a good and encouraging communicator. During the past year plus of treatment, surgery and follow up, he and his admin team have been helpful, accommodating, polite, and endlessly reassuring at what has been a challenging time. I have been impressed by the degree of personal contact whether face-to-face or a phonecall.

He is a great surgeon and very caring. I have been really lucky to have him as my surgeon throughout my battle with cancer. I can’t thank him enough.

I had an exceptional experience with my doctor Mr Kumar who performed an operation on me. Not only his surgical expertise and excellent after surgery caring are evident, but also his caring about my psychological wellbeing is exceptional. He explained my treatments in a calming and reassuring manner both before and afterwards, which made me feel supported and at ease throughout the process. I am grateful to him and his team.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Kumar late last year via video consultation and early this year via face to face consultation. I will say that he is very knowledgeable and compassionate. He is very easy going and listens to all concerns or problems that is being faced. Will recommend 10/10.

So far Mr Kumar has been very helpful in my diagnosis and contact with his secretary also very good.

I think it's fair to say that if it wasn't for Mr Kumar I would not be here today. From our very first meeting I was confident in everything he said to me, the surgery, the process, the risks and what I could expect during my recovery went exactly as he said it would. He went above and beyond of my expectations and as my surgery was during the height of the Covid lock downs, Mr Kumar made sure my wife and family were kept fully informed throughout. He has helped me with my other associated medical issues that I've had by putting me in contact with leading experts in Endocrinology and Neurology. My follow up sessions with Mr Kumar continue to build my confidence and reassures me that I'm being looked after very well. Mr Kumar is without doubt the best person that I could have hoped to meet and help me beat my cancer.
