Our Patients Say
"Mr Kumar explained the procedure and what to expect from the operation clearly for me. He answered my questions and I felt in safe hands. I had a rash develop whilst recuperating after the operation and I was able to contact the doctor at the Lancaster Hospital by phone and through him, Mr Kumar, for advice and for had an additional consultation to check this out. I was apprehensive before the procedure but it has been a complete success."
