I don't like her today what she said to me, my baby did vomit in their room and she told me don't feed your baby before 2-4 hour to come here because your baby missed up our room and we don't have anybody to clean up that's ridiculous for me .will thinking about to change doctor

Never go to this doctor. This doctor takes this patients for granted. Behaves likes god to her patients. She will not guide her patients how to follow schedule a proper diet plan to feed your baby. You may not have any problem if you already have parenting experience but if your first time patient you'll always be confused how to feed your baby and what to give.

I would not recommend this doctor to anyone, well if she is a legally a doctor, in my opinion she is not. She is very reude and talks down to Parents. She does not want to listen to child problem, she does not even diagnose patients well. She like to spend the least amount of time she can with the parents. If you care for your child find another doctor..........

This doctor split my preventive care visit into two parts preventive and non-preventive. Be carefull. Only tell what you went for. General question will be exploited for charging out of pocket.Bad staff too?

Her staff is completely unfriendly,specially the lady at the front desk, Dr Kumar was my baby's doctor since she was born, now I totally regret it because when my baby got the rubella I had the appointment in the morning and she refused to see my baby even when she was visibly sick..as a mother I had a really bad experience..
