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.
