Mr Vish Kumar is kind and professional with patients. He provides clear explanations for procedures and answers all questions. Patients gain confidence and achieve excellent results, with relief from pain and improved movement following surgeries for complex fractures, Achilles tears, or joint issues. His expertise delivers strong results in Foot and Ankle Surgery.
Mr Kumar and his colleagues have taken the most particular care of me and my recovery after I suffered multiple fractures from an assault. From initial surgery and then consultation in a further surgery 18 months later, Mr Kumar and his team have shown particular compassion, understanding, answered many questions, showing a true kindness towards me as a patient. Upon seeing me in consultation, he saw me in clinic early, spending extra time to discuss everything from a medical point of view, he then proceeded to follow-up and call me the next day. I cannot recommend Mr Kumar enough, he is a credit to the profession, the NHS and his private practices at Spire.

Thank you very much

He has been thorough in his examination of my condition which gives confidence. I have no medical knowledge but I can say that he has been thorough”fixed” my osteoarthritis in my toe because the pain I have endured the last six years is now gone. I cannot praise him highly enough - mainly due to his ability to give the patient the confidence that he is fully engaged with them and the process . Please pass on my sincere thanks to Mr Kumar.
