Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone said it was stress or just getting older. Dr. Sumit Kumar actually listened. He asked questions about things no one else did, like if I'd been gardening more or had any rashes I'd ignored. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't. Turns out it was Lyme disease. I was nervous at first, thinking he'd just send me away too, but he figured it out. Starting treatment now at Sarvodaya, and I finally feel hopeful.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was dreading it more than I should have. Dr. Kumar's clinic at Sector 8 was running a bit behind that day, but once I got in, it was so straightforward. He explained exactly what he was going to do, step by step, which calmed me right down. The procedure itself was quick, and he checked in the next day himself to see how the stitches were. It was just a simple thing, but he made it feel like no big deal.
The parking at Sarvodaya Hospital is always a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once you get inside to Dr. Kumar's floor, it's different. The lady at his reception desk remembered my name on my second visit, which was nice. The whole place feels calm, not chaotic. Even the person who took my blood pressure was really gentle and chatted about the weather to distract me. It sounds small, but when you're not feeling great, those little things from the staff make a real difference.
Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get awkward and forget my questions. Dr. Kumar has this way of just sitting and talking like a normal person. He doesn't rush you. When I was worried about some medication side effects, he didn't just dismiss it; he drew a little diagram on his notepad to show me how the drug worked and why that might happen. He speaks clearly, no confusing medical jargon. You leave feeling like you talked to someone who gets it, not just a guy in a white coat.
