Patient Experience
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Kumar made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing was over in what felt like twenty minutes. He talked me through each step as he did it, and the stitches were so neat you can barely see the scar now. It was just... easy.
I've been seeing Dr. Kumar for my blood pressure and general health for about eight years now, since before he was at Medicover. That's the thingyou find a doctor who listens, who remembers your history without having to dig through the file every time, and you stick with them. He's never rushed me, even on his busy days. I trust his judgment completely because he explains the 'why' behind any change in medication. In a city full of doctors, that kind of consistency is hard to find.
As someone who manages a team and has back-to-back meetings, I don't have time to be unwell. I went to Dr. Kumar with a persistent stomach issue that was affecting my work. He was direct, asked the right questions, ordered the necessary tests at the hospital lab, and had a clear treatment plan by my follow-up. Solved the problem quickly without unnecessary visits. Exactly what I needed.
Look, I was skeptical. New hospital, didn't know the doctor. But my regular guy was on leave. Had a bad flu and needed a check. Dr. Kumar was straight upno sugar-coating, told me it was viral, prescribed what I actually needed, and told me to come back if it got worse. Parking at Medicover was a hassle, but the appointment itself was fine. He's alright. Got the job done.
I brought my father in last month; he'd been feeling unusually tired and weak for weeks. We were worried, thinking the worst. Dr. Kumar spent a good 20 minutes just talking to him first, putting him at ease. He asked about his diet, his daily routine, things other doctors gloss over. He suspected it might be a vitamin deficiency rather than something scarier, which was a huge relief. The tests proved him right. The way he handled my anxious dad, with such patience, meant more than any medicine. We left feeling heard and, for the first time in weeks, hopeful.
I'd been to a couple of doctors with this nagging stomach pain, and everyone said it was just acidity. Dr. Lakshman Kumar actually sat and listened to the whole weird timeline. He ordered a specific scan the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't obvious. He drew me a simple picture to explain it. Felt like someone finally put the puzzle together.
The parking at Medicover was completely full when I arrived for my check-up, which stressed me out. But once I got inside, the front desk lady was really patient helping me sort it. The place is clean and quiet, which helped calm me down. Even the nurse who took my vitals was cheerful. It made the whole visit less of a chore.
What I remember most is how he talks to you. I'm an older patient, and sometimes doctors rush. Dr. Kumar doesn't. He pulls his chair up, looks you in the eye, and asks about things besides the illness. He remembered I gardened and asked about my roses while checking my blood pressure. That kind of attention is rare.
