Our Family Doctor, We always prefer Dr Santosh Kumar, What ever the problem a patient need his suggestion first, Very Friendly and Understandable, We always prefer East Godavari People (Which is our Home Town) to come and Take Health Suggestions from DR Santosh Kumar. As a Doctor he is not only upto the mark, other than that.
Visited For Back Pain Treatment
He is quite practical and does not prescribe medicines unnecessarily. I found him to understand patient's pblm thoroughly and suggest simple home remedies and good physical exercise. Makes patient feel mentally comfortable. Insists more on better dietary habits and increased physical exercises for better life. Listens to patient's problem attentively and in the process gets to make him feel comfortable with his kind and easy talk. One gets to feel that he is talking to a family member rather than a doctor.
I personally felt that unlike other commercial doctors, this doctor relies more on patient's mental condition than physical condition. He does not recommend expensive tests unless he is very sure about the disease. First timers like me will definitely not only prefer this doctor again and again but also recommend him to friends and relatives.
I would definitely recommend him to patients who are looking for good general physicians in the city and those who are afraid to visit expensive Consultant specialists in corporate hospitals.

*** ** *** **** ******* ** **************his smile makes us feel that we are healthy and nothing has happened to us.hes so friendly dat you will never feel that you are ill when you visit him for consultation.He doesn't asks for tests as other doctors do in the first visit..he checks..understands the illness and then writes some medicines(2-3).tells us to try for5-10 days and asks us to visit again.if still the illness exists then only he asks for tests.
Clinic is also well maintained..the staff is well behaved.never seen such usage of technology in any other clinics..
We can have the doctor's consultation,the medical store and the diagnosis centre under one roof.
So so happy with the doctor and also with the environment maintained in the clinic
All the best doctor and keep up the good job..

“Medicine is an art whose magic and creative ability have long been recognized as residing in the interpersonal aspects of patient-physician relationship.”1
A doctor's communication and interpersonal skills encompass the ability to gather information in order to facilitate ******** ********** counsel appropriately, give therapeutic instructions, and establish caring relationships with patients. These are the core clinical skills in the practice of medicine, with the ultimate goal of achieving the best outcome and patient satisfaction, which are essential for the effective delivery of health care.
Basic communication skills in isolation are insufficient to create and sustain a successful therapeutic doctor-patient relationship, which consists of shared perceptions and feelings regarding the nature of the problem, goals of treatment, and psychosocial support. Interpersonal skills build on this basic communication skill. Appropriate communication integrates both patient- and doctor-centered approaches. This doctor qualifies for these specialties.

Doctor's assurance of getting better cures more than medicines. He is a great pillar of support. The wait time should improve. Its usually more than the expected time. But no doubt he is a great doctor and I would recommend him to everyone. He is not money minded at all.

Dr Santosh Kumar has identified and treated my mother's Vertigo condition. Even though the appointments were taken for the day, considering the severity of the dire situation, he was able to accommodate an appointment on a short notice. He is a very humble and is a patient listener. I would definitely recommend him for primary care.
