Thank you
Post op ankle ligament repair. Mr Kumar always very thorough, personable and patient-focussed. Genuinely listens to concerns and avoids the arrogance and presumption of some consultants. Would not hesitate to recommend..
Thank you very much
This was a follow up consultation regarding the movement and flexibility of my foot and hand. Mr, Kumar performed the procedures to fix broken bones in both my foot and more drastically in my hand, where I had four badly broken bones. Even though I have not got full movement in my hand I am amazed at how his excellent skills have, in my opinion, actually saved my hand. I am extremely grateful.
Thank you very much

Very professional, and gave me a true expectation of what the operation would and has achieved.
Thank you very much
Had a bit of a wait to see Mr Kumar. But I know he doesn’t rush through his appointments, he has a nice manner, and talks through everything with you, I found him to be reassuring talking to him about my operation. And am very pleased with my outcome, on the day of my operation he came and talked to me and went through everything with me, and today showed me my X-rays explaining everything, thank you
Thank you
