We went to sir with breathing discomfort and swelling in legs for my wife. Obviously with lot of anxiety and fear.
He speaks simple ..no use of heavy medical words.. explained what has happened..what is the treatment..felt like meeting a friend.. after a week she feels so well..
He is very genuine and more over he has that gesture of "am here to help" kind of environment around . Thank you sir. I highly recommend. "Vaidyo narayano harihi"

Went to see Dr for second opinion, to understand the seriousness of my mothers’ condition (she has moderate MR for few years now)… he saw previous reports and asked questions to understand my mom’s condition, then suggested to do echo want to understand the seriousness… after echo he comforted my mother that the condition is not that serious and she need not worry much… suggested her to do walking and continue the medication… my mother felt quite relieved after the visit… Dr was very friendly, the fact that he conversed in Kannada with mom also helped…
We visited the hospital and it was for my father. He had undergone knee replacement surgery. *** ****** *** ***** Surgery happened in July and follow up consultation was once in 2 or 3 months. My father had diabetes and BP, medicines were prescribed, physio was also done. There was no much waiting time in the hospital. It will take 5-10 minutes. We need to visit again doctor. My father is able to see improvements and he is able to walk now. I am satisfied with the treatment given. I can recommend the doctor to my family or friends.

Simple, professional, soft spoken, ************** approachable and top of it, friendly. Humanitarian.
This is what I felt during my angioplasty treatment by him.
Best part was, when my stent procedure was over, he asked my whether I would like to speak to my wife. He allowed her to meet me.
I felt and saw the other side of the doctor. The human touch inside him.

Dr. Kumar is confident in speaking with no ambiguity. At Jayadeva hospital it was concluded that my mother's hand to be amputed. Dr. Kumar tested for 10 minutes and confidentiality said hand need not be amputed. My mother's feeling on hearing it can't be explained. He brought back Life to our family. I liked the the way he treats the patient. He doesn't speak much or less. He clearly knows what treatment to be given. If something is not required, he clearly says such things are not required.
