I have been seeing Dr. Kumar for a few years, very thorough, takes time to answers your questions, very kind, he has done my Colonoscopys, and an Endoscopy, after each procedure, talks to myself and my husband, so we know what was done, has us back in the office, reviews the findings. couldn't ask for a better Doctor.

Dr. Kumar has always been attentive to my concerns these past 2 years and figured out a problem the first time I saw him after a YEAR of another Dr telling me there was nothing wrong. I went in recently about a change in symptoms and he addressed them with questions, listening to me and an exam then scheduled an endoscopy for me to find out what's going on. I would highly recommend him. I've never had to wait 10 mins for an appt and his PA is excellent. Very nice man. Caring.

I should have just gone to a local CVS for a diagnoses as this man literally just will write you a script and tell you it's ok not to know what's wrong as sometimes it better for you. Are you kidding me. Who does not want to know what's wrong with them!

Going to Dr. Kumar's office was the biggest mistake I have ever made. No matter how many times I asked, I was not even scheduled to see the doctor himself; I was scheduled with a NP who was absolutely terrible. After waiting for 45 minutes in the lounge, I was given about 5 minutes for my appointment, during which they prescribed me a large dose of a medication which my other doctors later told me was dangerous--not too mention that it didn't help me at all. Then, they scheduled me for an incredibly expensive procedure without checking with my insurance company. Again, this was a total waste of time and did nothing for my pain. They could not even explain to me why I was experiencing pain in the first place. I will be paying off my medical bill for the procedure for years...after going to see Dr. Kumar my trust in medical professionals is gone. Complete rip off and waste of time. I would not recommend him to ANYONE.
