Dr Udayakumar takes time to listen and work with you through your options in treatment for your dx. He’s got a great bedside manner as well and after 3 years with him, he still treats each appointment or message like it matters. I never feel rushed.

Dr. Udaykumar seems to care a great deal about helping his patients. He figured out my issues when no one else could. I think it was because he's intelligent, but also because he has the patience to deal with hard cases + he doesn't just give up on things.
