Mr Uma Maheshwaran image

I had my mother with me who had been complaining of severe chest pain for an initial check up when I first met Dr. Kumar. My mom is never comfortable in a hospital setting and was against any major intervention. Within few minutes of symptom study, Dr. Kumar identified the intensity of her condition and immediately suggested an angiogram for her. While my mother was reluctant, he convinced her by talking to her in Tamil and giving her the confidence that she would be ok. When he returned from the angiogram, he was extremely concerned on her condition which required a complex angioplasty. He elaborately briefed me and took me in confidence to carry out this process the next day. He arrived at 8 am and his crew in cathlab was there before him. As planned, the angioplasty went on for 3 hours and his face was so happy when he finished the procedure with 5 stents. He had his breakfast only after the procedure was successfully completed. He was concerned through this complex procedure as he was worried that my moms puny body might not take it well. With utmost care and with his diligent crew he made it possible. Dr. Kumar and his crew deserve a prayer from me and my mom as he indeed resurrected her life. She is leading a normal life today thanks to him. I do not simply want to say a thank you to him, because I didn’t see a doctor when was doing this procedure. I saw a reflection of myself as a son in him. Our prayers for your well-being and success will always be there with you Dr. Kumar

Heart full thanks to doctor Kumar Kenchappa, My father was diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome and heart rate had gone down to 35bpm followed with seizures. Dr Kumar gave very clear explanation about the syndrome and treatment planned and treated the patient’s urgency and arranged the facility at hospital very well at the time of arrival. He is very professional and yet very friendly to approach and discuss the patient issues. He was able to explain the pacemaker surgery planned for my father and successfully implanted it on 22-Jan 2024. Thanks a lot for making this happen 😀
