I had Laparoscopic Hellier's Cardiomyptomy keyhole surgery conducted by Dr Yogesh KUMAR in December 2020. He went above and beyond in his care for me and explained the whole procedure to me at ease with great communication and listening skills. During my initial appointments with Dr Kumar, he explained in great detail of what the procedure involved and the benefits of having it. Dr Kumar and his team are a credit to NHS, such great service and treatment received keep up the good work and a big thank you from me.

Mr Kumar carried out my keyhole gall bladder removal - I'm delighted with the results and he's also a lovely man, very kind.

I was treated and had surgery recently by Mr Kumar. I was treated with respect and was able to ask questions and voice my concerns. Mr Kumar was very patient, quietly spoken and gave me confidence to proceed with the surgery. Following surgery I had a good recovery and as yet, all my previous problems have been resolved. Thank you Mr Kumar

He was very polite and professional. Good bed side manners and communication skills. He listened to my symptoms and was thorough with his treatment plan. I was given plenty of opportunity to ask questions and discuss my concerns. At the end it was a very soothing consultation.
