Dr. Kumar does not take pictures during endoscopy. What is the point of the exam then? He told me to take medicines I did not need for over two years. The medicine made me much sicker. I feel like he made up the diagnosis of hiatal hernia because many years and 4 endoscopy's later it has never showed up again on an EGD. When I was sick his office told me he only takes phone calls after 5pm on certain days. I went to the ER when I could have just talked to the doctor on the phone. When he took care of my loved one he did not bother to look at me or acknowledge that I was standing there.
