Dr. Kumar is a really great psychiatrist. She is super calm, kind and a great listener. She has really helped me on and off over the years.

She almost crippled me. It's been 6 years and I still suffer the damage she did to me. I wish I had not been a Kaiser patient.

She misdiagnosed my condition. I almost lost my life under her treatment. Her drugs reacted, and I still suffer from twitches after 3 years.

She is good in listening your problems but can't make any decision on what prescription to follow. she keep trying with the new medicines until you reach to worst state. I would recommend to stay away from her and kaiser as they don't have capable doctors.

She worsened my condition and made a wrong diagnosis. I was on the verge of losing my life under her treatment. She continued the treatment even though the drugs were creating serious reactions. I am lucky that I paid out of my pocket and saw an independent doctor not affiliated with Kaiser. Take my advice and stay away from Kaiser and Neeru Kumar.
