He and Martin county health system misled me. I was uninformed until the night before colonoscopy . I was lied to about out of pocket expenses for someone without insurance. I was treated like meat at the facility, except for the pre routine nurse. I dressed myself after routine and wandered groggily into the main lobby unescorted and left lying in pain with my face on a dirty chair.

dr. Kumar is usually late. The 6 to 7 times I have been at his office I had to wait for a while to see him. But the time that I was scheduled for a colonoscopy was the straw that broke the camel. I arrived on time for my procedure, but after waiting for about an hour I inquired if there was any problem and why I hadn't been called for my procedure. The lady at the front desk told me dr. Kumar was 1.5 hr behind and they were two more patients ahead of me. I was not feeling good, hungry and tired to deal with all this, so I decided to go to another specialist and I don't regret it!

I received treatment by doctor Kumar for over 3 years. Unfortunately his diagnosis was incorrect my symptoms were caused by another illness. I waisted three years and a ton of money and as consequence of all this waisted time I developed a chronic illness that could be prevented, if I'd have receive the right treatment. Very dissatisfied an angry! I read all these reviews and I just can concluded that he most be a good doctor for general routine, but in my case he made a big mistake and I am going to live with this for the rest of my life!

I chose Dr. Kumar for my colonoscopy because my relatives had their colonoscopies done by Dr. Kumar and had a very good experience and liked his bedside manner.
