Sivakumar Arumugam MD

My husband is trying to get on the transplant list at UMC. He is in need of a new kidney. He has PKD and his stomach is very extended making it hard to perform a colonoscopy. He had to have his colonoscopy in the hospital.Dr. Sivakumar Arumugam was wonderful to both of us. He took his time to explain that he may not be able to perform the colonoscopy due to my husbands large kidneys. He said he would not be a hero and would go as far as he could. He was able to perform the colonoscopy and everything went great! I would highly recommend this doctor. He might run a bit behind when you meet with him because he really takes his time to explain everything. He is worth the wait. His bed side manners are excellent. The office staff was friendly and helpful. I am grateful to Dr. Sivakumar Arumugam for his kindness and professionalism.

Don't know if things have changed, but through 2016 this guy was really good for me. His office-counseling regarding maintaining a more healthy colon was spot-on, and the colonoscopy experience was as mitigated as it could be. Long waits in the waiting room sometimes, but I haven't found an MD in this town yet where that's not the case. Or if I did, I wouldn't tell you guys!
