Patients frequently commend Dr. Ashok Kumar for his professionalism, excellent bedside manner, and thoroughness in explaining diagnoses and treatments. They describe him as compassionate, knowledgeable, and skilled, particularly in administering injections that significantly alleviate pain, often praising his approachable nature and the supportive staff. However, a few reviews express dissatisfaction, citing unprofessional behavior and a perceived reluctance to address the root cause of issues beyond recommending medications or injections. In these negative reviews, there is a sense of frustration with his approach and a sentiment that certain concerns were not adequately heard or addressed.

Very unprofessional and didn't listen to anything I was saying. After having 3 MRIs on my back, he said that the MRI results were lying!!! He offered me injections and pain meds and got upset with me once I said that neither of those would help fix the root cause and that I didn't want either. What a waste of time.

Dr. Ashok Kumar, is an exceptional physician! His spirit brings me comfort, he engages me, he always shares knowledge of my condition as well as his actions and steps by which he will be performing on my body to alleviate my suffering of pain. Dr. Kumar is absolutely and completely thorough with his delivery of the information his gives to you as his patient. I find him to be a very kind and compassionate towards me as a doctor. I appreciate him to the highest. I even look forward to coming to my appointments with him. I come in one way and after my injections I go out relieved from suffering in pain I feel human again. Having him as my doctor means the world to me I would not trade him for anyone else his a keeper for me. Dr. Kumar is the epitome of what a physician should be. Exemplary, Excellent and Outstanding! I also wish to command his team they are professionals, caring, kind, lovely, just a fantastic group of people!

Dr. Kumar and his assistant Becky are consistently gracious and helpful during my visits for injections into my spine for a pinched nerve. They are helpful with advice and always willing to take their time and answer questions. I know he is considered a top doc and I can understand how he earned that title. Highly recommend!
