This was the first time I had met Dr Kar and I was a bit worried as to what approach he would use to help me.After discussing my problems he decided on a one step at a time solution which I was happy with and made to feel that things would improve without major changes to my treatment.I feel that I was listened to and that my feelings and thoughts were taken into consideration.

I consider myself to be very lucky to have been referred to Dr Kar around 7 months ago. From the first consultation he believed everything I was telling him about my symptoms and immediately put my mind at rest that he was willing to do everything he could to help me.
He actually LISTENS! and has always arranged an appointment for me when I have needed one.
I have tried to think of some constructive criticism as the review asked for but really do not have anything to criticize.
Would wholly recommend him as a consultant who really is interested in helping his patients.

Dr Partha Kar has been monitoring my progress after having an operation to remove a non-cancerous tumour on my pituitary gland and following radiotherapy last year. He is a very approachable and genuinely caring person. He listens to my concerns and answers my constant questions thoroughly and clearly. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Dr. Kar.

I first met Dr Kar whilst attending a meeting with a Neuro Surgeon at Southampton Genera Hospital. Dr Kar very kindly offered to take over my care in Portsmouth as that is where my home is.
I have always been very happy attending the clinic with Dr Kar, he gets to know you as a person, remembers who you are before looking at his notes and listens to what you have to say. Appointments are always beneficial. Blood tests are arranged prior to my appointment so the results are available when I have my appointment with Dr Kar. When results are not 'normal' medications are adjusted and a follow-up appointment is arranged. Dr Kar He has also helped me when I had a serious medical problem, saw me and referred me to another department in the hospital. I have a lot of confidence in both Dr Kar and the specialist nurse - Jean Mundy and am extremely grateful for the care they both offer. What also gives you confidence is that both Dr Kar and Jean Mundy are very approachable, they both invite you to phone them if you have a problem, have always returned my calls. They also liaise with other departments that I have to attend i.e. Radiology at QA and Neurosurgical Department at Southampton so I feel that as a 'team' giving me treatment I get the very best..
