Prem Kumar is a great Dr. He only gets 3 stars, because he has refused to share my information with 4 FOUR other doctors who have requested information from him MORE THAN ONCE. Yes, I have insurance and he is all paid off from me. Why he refuses to share my info and keeps calling me to set up an appointment, I don't know.

Dr. Kumal was very slow and methodical with his evaluation. Felt he really was concerned about my health.

I would never see this man again. I was billed for services I was assured were covered 100% by my insurance. The staff checked before my appt. and said it is covered 100% only to find out later they are outside my network. My responsibility according to them even tho they checked 1st.

I have been a patient of Dr Kumar since approximately 1990. He has always been very professional and has such a great demeanor. He is always in a great mood and always makes time for any questions that you may have. Always returns your calls promptly and has beautiful manners...

The Doctor is excellent...but the office staff manager leaves you scratching your head with the comments she makes about her capabilities and skills.

I Love Dr. Prem Kumar. I have a history of colon cancer in my family. When my brother was diagnosed stage 4 at 50 years old I needed a gastro doctor for my own testing. I found Dr. Kumar. He's very informative and won't leave the room until he knows all yours questions (no matter how dumb) are answered and you are comfortable. He did my first colonoscopy and helped me through my gallbladder attack. I am due for my next colonoscopy and feel safe in Dr. Kumars care. He has a very calming bedside manner. I have lost my brother to the horrible disease and feel Dr. Kumar has changed my destiny.
