Duchy Hospital Reviews
Denise Street
Mr Kumar is the best. He was very kind and understanding. He was also very patient and answered all my questions, many times. I felt totally confident in Mr Kumar and all his team. The nursing staff were all very kind and helpful and I found the whole experience was made as easy for me as possible. I would also say Mr Kumar is an eye wizard. My eyesight was really poor. I can now see long distances and close up for reading without any glasses or lenses. He really is amazing and I could not recommend him highly enough.

I had Lasik eye surgery 3 weeks ago at Duchy Hospital, I was extremely nervous about the whole procedure, but can honestly say there was no pain at all (a little uncomfortable for a couple of hours afterwards thats all) Mr Kumar who was my surgeon was absolutly FANTASTIC. If you are thinking about having this surgery, please dont hesitate go and see Mr Kumar you wont regret it. Thank you for doing such a good job.

I was desperate not to have to wear glasses anymore as I had struggled to comfortably wear lenses, but I am real scared-y-cat, so that last person in the world, you would imagine to take the plunge and go for surgery. Mr Kumar put me at ease and to be fair, it was difficult to walk away from an opportunity that more or less guaranteed an improvement to my vision. I was terrified on the day of the procedure, but the staff at the Duchy put me at ease. The procedure is so quick and pain free, it made me wonder what all the fuss was for.... I now have almost 20/20 vision and don't need to wear glasses for anything. Mr Kumar is amazingly talented and a lovely man to boot. He is at the end of the phone if you have any concerns which is really reassuring. I have a permanent grin from one ear to the other, I just wish I had done it sooner!!

Mr Kumar is a fantastic Consultant/surgeon, I found him to be so friendly and approachable and made the whole experience of having eye surgery a good one. I would definitely recommend Mr Kumar to all of my friends / colleagues if they were to consider having eye surgery, it is the best thing I had done, just wish I had had it done years ago.T think it is very good value for money and Mr Kumar is very thorough in his work and I felt well looked after.

Mr. Kumar is the best ever! He is an eye guru! Eyes are his passion and expression of service. I felt totally trusting throughout and joyously recommend his services to others. I can see!! everything is so sparkly! - Mr. Kumars pleasant and happy disposition was a refreshing experience in a medic environment. THANKYOU Mr. Kumar. I know you will continue opening the portals of possibility for all those you work with, thankyou so very much.

I have just had my first check after surgery yesterday and everything is amazing, I can now see better without my glasses than I could before with them. After about 25 years I am now without glasses for driving, watching television and my other visually distant requirements. From the moment I entered the Duchy Hospital I have received nothing but exemplary attention, Mr.Kumar and the staff are courteous, helpful and answering any questions I had, nothing seemed too much trouble. I am now looking forward to my new found freedom

I decided to take the bull by the horns and go ahead with a consultation for laser eye surgery with Mr Kumar and I'm so glad I did. I had my surgery on a Saturday and within a couple of days I had perfect vision. It is so nice to be able to wake up at night and see the clock! Mr Kumar is an excellent consultant and surgeon and I thoroughly recommend him.
