Patient Stories

Results that speak for themselves

Hear from patients across the Central Coast and Sydney who have experienced Dr Kumar’s compassionate, expert kidney care.

I’m accustomed to dealing with professionals, but Dr Kumar went well beyond our expectations. He clearly has an extremely high level of expertise and we immediately felt like we were in excellent hands. His staff at Hills Street were equally compassionate and wonderful.

Patient

Dr Kumar is one of the most professional specialists I have had the pleasure to deal with. He has helped me through a very difficult illness. His caring nature and his thoughtfulness are second to none. The same goes for Dr Ratnavadivel and their team, especially Louise.

Patient

One of the fine and best nephrologist I have dealt with. Always his diagnosis is spot on and explains well and clear. He always follow up by calling how the patient feel etc. We feel very comfortable to discuss and deal with him.
