Since I’ve started going to Dr. Kumar I don’t want another Dr. I see doctors who she recommends. She’s very caring and I appreciate her so. “only if I just listen” . She’s truly a great doctor.

she is so busy that she does not have time to see you so she will look at you a few minutes and tell you i do not know what is wrong with you go to the er. And if you sick and call to make an appointment they will tell you sorry we are really book go to the er. so if you want to wait for 4 hours in the er this a a great doctor. they do not care if you dying she will not see you because she has no time. Also we went for a follow up for cholesterol a year later and she was too busy to check so she made up that since we are young we do not have to check our cholesterol every year but every 2 years even if our cholesterol was borderline high last year. This doctor is too busy to take care of her patients
