Omg where do I start. He is Wonderful.

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

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.

Having just met Dr Kumar I can't really recommend him at this time. I will say that I did like him. He seemed genuinely interested in my problems, and that is always a good thing.

09/10/2025

Dr. Kumar took his time and explained my test results and how my procedure was going to go. He was very informative.

Very clear, speaking and explanations are very excellent

08/22/2025

I was nervous I had a heart condition and he eased me by explaining things to me.

08/17/2025

Where do I start he is the best! This was the first time I had seen him and he took the time to look over all my medical records .He ask me questions and explain the procedures that needs to be done and made sure I understood everything. He is very caring and I am very thankful to have him as my doctor.
