Dr.Kumar is a great doctor. He truly takes the time to listen to your issues and explain everything thoroughly. I have seen other GI drs and he is byfar the best. Getting an appointment was fast, the staff in the Highland office is great, the young lady in the front desk Angie is also very helpful.

I think Dr. Kumar is wonderful but the staff at his office is what ruins the entire experience. As much as I appreciate the help he has been to me I cannot deal with the level of incompetence of his staff and will have to find a new doctor. If you see him I hope you never have to schedule a procedure or get test results because no one will NEVER get a call back.

Dr Kumar is a very good Doctor that takes the time to listen to you and explain to you how your problems needs to be fixed. I had an upper GI test and after the procedure I never knew that I even had a test!!

I was very nervous about having a colonoscopy and then I met Dr. Kumar. His bedside manner puts a patient at ease. He is available to answer all questions, and put one mind at ease. This was my first procedure of this type and my first meeting of Dr. Kumar. He didn't make me feel rushed, nor did he think any of my questions were too trivial. He explained to me just what I was looking at after the procedure. (you get pics of it) and was very thorough. If I have this procedure done again, he will do it.
