Dr Kumar repaired my inguinal hernia at Lutheran Medical Center. The doctor met with me pre-and post operation and explained the entire procedure, possible complications, and post-op care. His bed side manner was exceptional. He really cares about his patients. The procedure was a success and the healing time was exactly as Dr Kumar had explained. I highly recommend Dr Kumar for anyone who has a similar health concern.

Dr Kumar is a throwback to when surgeons see you right after surgery himself and makes sure you are as comfortable as possible. He has operated on my Mother and Father, my wife,son and me. His compassion for his patients is amazing. He seems to be there for you at every turn, every question is answered in a very timely fashion. His staff is also quite good. It can get very busy at his office and you must show some patience because he talks but more importantly listened to every patient.
