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.

Dr Kumar is extremely warm , competent and straightforward . We brought my mother to him in an emergency situation and his response was immediate . Extremely professional and capable , he took very good care of my mother ( who is 90
) : was open and honest about the pacemaker implant . God bless the likes of him
.
Doctor was very friendly.He explained why pacemaker needed for me.During procedure also he was encouraging.After implanting the pacemaker and periodical check up one of the portion was using almost 100 percent of pacemakers.He has rightly diagnised the problem and Now I am comfortable
Dr. Kumar Kenchappa is very approachable and highly communicative. His treatment is an amalgamation of conservative thoughts with modern medicines which makes one feel at ease. He is more like having a doctor at home who is accessible and thus very comforting .
I met so many doctors via practo app. He is a good doctor and I met the doctor twice for my child's cardiology related treatment. I am satisfied with doctor treatment and I would say the treatment was average. Staff, timings and everything was good in hospital and I would like to give a rating of 8/10 to the hospital.
