Saw Mr Kumar today for my last visit following ankle ligament surgery. Always a pleasure - courteous, attentive and genuinely interested in my progress and recovery. And to round it off his surgical sewing is extremely neat! If you’re in need of ankle surgery you couldn’t be in better hands. Highly recommended.
Thank you very much for your time and kind word It is appreciated
Mr Kumar was very friendly and welcoming and professional. He explained the procedure clearly and welcomed any questions. He saw me promptly after waking from the procedure and checked I was okay, and again welcomed any questions. The same goes for my follow up appointment.
Thank you very much
Mr Kumar was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, timely but spent time and it never felt rushed. He explained what was happening to my son, not only to me. My son has ASD and is anxious and Mr Kumar was mindful of this and acted accordingly without being obvious. My son felt heard and validated. Mr Kumar is a thorough thoughtful and excellent care provider. Thank you so much.

I have been under Mr Kumars’s care following complex foot surgery. Recovery has been slow but I have found him professional, knowledgeable and approachable throughout. At my recent review he was very pleased with my progress and encouragement was given for my recovery going forward. I appreciate his honesty, clinical judgment and reassurance. I am grateful for his care and support which I have received from Mr Kumar and the Team at WVT Hereford Thankyou
