Patient Experience
My father's chronic kidney disease was complicated by multiple comorbidities. Dr. Kumar's holistic approach addressed not just his kidneys but his cardiac health and diabetes simultaneously. At 75, he's more active than he's been in years.
After being misdiagnosed elsewhere with end-stage renal disease, Dr. Kumar discovered I actually had renal tuberculosis. His correct diagnosis and targeted treatment saved me from unnecessary dialysis. I'm forever grateful for his diagnostic brilliance.
When my brother collapsed from methanol poisoning-induced renal failure, Dr. Kumar initiated emergency hemodialysis within minutes of arrival. His rapid response and expertise in toxic nephropathies reversed what seemed like certain kidney damage.
As a medical student myself, I developed nephrotic syndrome during exams. Dr. Kumar not only treated my condition but mentored me through the psychological aspects of being a patient. His compassionate care inspired my own medical career path.
Our 14-year-old son with congenital solitary kidney developed recurrent stones. Dr. Kumar used advanced laser lithotripsy and metabolic workup to prevent recurrence. His pediatric nephrology skills are exceptional - our son is now stone-free and thriving.
I was diagnosed with renal amyloidosis after years of unexplained symptoms. Dr. Kumar's systematic approach identified the underlying condition and initiated novel therapies that have halted disease progression. Finally, I have answers and hope.
As a renal transplant recipient from 15 years ago, I developed complex rejection issues. Dr. Kumar's expertise in salvage protocols saved my graft when other nephrologists had given up. His commitment to long-term transplant care is remarkable.
My wife's rapid-onset glomerulonephritis left her critically ill. Dr. Kumar's aggressive immunosuppression and plasma exchange regimen, combined with his honest but hopeful communication, guided us through the toughest month of our lives. She's now in complete remission.
