AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr Sumit Kar is professional and clear in his communication. He gives patients full explanations. Patients report positive experiences with procedures like laparoscopic hysterectomy, including excellent care received before, during, and after surgery. This often brings great relief from pain and a better quality of life. Mr Kar shows strong skill in gynaecology, covering laparoscopic key-hole surgery, hysterectomy, and fibroid management.
Mr Kar is a very professional consultant/surgeon. He listened to all my needs and explained everything step by step. The surgery in which I had completed was a total hysterectomy. I felt at ease before surgery as Mr Kar explained the procedure thoroughly. After surgery he also came to see me and explained the findings and to inform me that surgery was successful. I have been left with minimal scaring and the incisions are very neat.
Very professional but also very pleasant & reassuring.
Mr Kar was very thorough with my test results and has explained medications and ongoing treatment of my chronic illness in the clearest manner I have experienced thus far.
I had a procedure completed by Mr Kar, he gave me all the information prior to the procedure and once I had had some time to recover he came and updated me on what was found and how to move forward.
I am so grateful that I was in the care of Mr Kar. I recently underwent an open myomectomy - my first surgery - and Mr Kat explained everyone clearly. He was understanding and reassuring both before and after the procedure. Thank you so much Mr Kar & the team
Mr Sumit Kar has been wonderful from start to finish, calm and professional. Explained the procedure I knew exactly what to expect.
I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy and was well looked after, everything was explained in detail and was told could call when I went home if I had any problems
I had a great experience from start to finish. Mr Kar and all the staff at North Downs were both professional and welcoming. I was feeling very anxious, but Mr Kar calm approach really helped put me at ease. I'm very grateful for their care.
Dr Kar has changed my life around !! I am pain free most days from cramps now !! Thanks so so much to all at Ramsay care.
I can’t thank Mr Kar enough! From my very first outpatients appointment, to being put on waiting list for surgery, then being offered the choice to have it done in local private hospital and then recently completing my surgery 6 weeks ago. He has literally given me my life back. He is an asset to the NHS and North Downs.
