Dr Kumar diagnosed my deteriorating vision as the clouding of my artificial lenses which happens in a very small percentage of cases. She is thorough and encouraging. Although busy, she does seem rushed. I encouraged my husband to change practices and he is happy he did. I would recommend her unreservedly.

I admit I was apprehensive due to being new to me, but the staff that handled the pre tests were great, polite and professional, then when Dr Kumar came in I was immediately put to ease, great personality, very professional and very trusting. So a solid 5 star! Bob Rector

I went to Dr Kumar because I was having weeping and pain in my left eye. She was very professional and spent a lot of time with me to determine issue. She ordered a prescription of Steroid and antibiotics . It has already started to help. I would definitely recommend her.

Dr. Kumar is a very knowledgeable eye doctor. She is very friendly and easy to speak with. Dr. Kumar is a doctor that listens to your concerns and address them accordingly. I highly recommend this doctor. The only thing I do not like about the Newark office is that it could be a bit more sanitary. The bathroom was extremely dirty and unacceptable. I did report that to a staff member and during my visit, nothing was done about it.
