Questions patients ask us most

Fertility
How do I know if I need IUI or IVF?
It depends on your diagnosis, age and how long you've been trying. Your first consultation includes a review of your history and basic tests to recommend the right starting point — we don't default to the most expensive option.
Is male partner testing required?
Yes, we recommend a semen analysis early on. Roughly half of infertility cases involve a male-factor cause, so testing both partners upfront saves time.
How many IVF cycles does it usually take?
This varies widely by age and diagnosis. We discuss realistic success rates for your specific situation rather than quoting a generic average.
Do you provide cost estimates before starting treatment?
Yes — a written estimate is provided before any treatment begins, including likely additional costs for medication or extra monitoring visits.
Neurology
Do you see children as well as adults?
Yes, Dr. Kumar treats both adult and pediatric neurological conditions, including childhood seizures and developmental concerns.
What should I bring to a first neurology appointment?
Any prior scans (MRI/CT), test results, and a written timeline of symptoms — when they started, how often they occur, and any triggers you've noticed.
Is this an emergency stroke centre?
For sudden stroke symptoms — face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech — call us immediately or go to the nearest emergency department without delay; minutes matter.
Can migraines really be linked to the neck?
In some patients, yes — cervical spondylosis and related neck issues can contribute to recurring headaches, which is one reason we check the neck during a headache work-up.
General
What are your hours?
Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM. Sunday is for emergency cases only.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
We recommend booking ahead — via the website, phone or WhatsApp — so you're not waiting behind a full schedule. Emergencies are always seen.
Where exactly are you located?
Opposite Malabar Gold, behind Sri Abhiruchi Hotel, JP Road, Bhimavaram, West Godavari — see the map on our Contact page.
