GREAT Cardiologist.

10/06/2025

Omg where do I start. He is Wonderful. My first appointment was almost an hour long just so he could take the time to get to understand and know me and see my medical history and to figure out what the best options were for me. After two major surgeries Dr. Kumar even phoned me at home to make sure I was doing well along with nurses and another dr. I was so impressed.You are not just a number there! You count

He was fine! Actually remembered me!

He's the smartest most caring DR. I know.

09/23/2025

Dr. Kumar is very knowledgeable and caring, compassionate

09/20/2025

Lack of communication skills commensurate than one would expect for highly educated people. I think he should use written instructions rather than verbal as he very hard to understand. I would also appreciate all staff to inform their thoughts and reasons for directions of treatment. Patients need to know the "why" or what the reason is for the course ot treatment is being followed. Too much verbal information is lost when the patient can't absorb all being said.

09/19/2025

Very knowledgeable. Answers questions professionally.
