Dr. Ajay Kumar
Consultant Surgical Oncologist · Mangalore, Karnataka
A consultant surgical oncologist with over 10+ years of dedicated experience in cancer surgery, Dr. Ajay Kumar has trained at premier oncology centres in India and abroad. His practice spans the breadth of surgical oncology — breast, gastrointestinal, head & neck, gynaecologic, thoracic, and soft tissue cancers.
What patients remember most, however, is not the credentials. It is the calm conversation. The willingness to explain a CT scan in plain Kannada, Tulu or English. The reassurance that comes from a doctor who will not rush a decision that matters this much.
Outside the operating theatre, Dr. Ajay leads community awareness programs across coastal Karnataka, advocating for tobacco cessation, early breast and cervical screening, and the importance of timely second opinions.
