Dr. Swati Sharma Kumar, MD

I have been a patient of Dr Kumar for about 4 years now. She is excellent, listens to my complaints and ask direct questions. Totally takes her time with me and has me feeling better in no time. And might I add the smoothest “shot” person I have ever met. I have had injections in my neck, shoulder and back. Seriously..I never felt it she is THAT Good. I cannot say enough good things about her ?? And Lois, Frances and Natasha are great ??

Dr. Kumar is one of the most compassionate doctors, and you can genuinely tell that she is there to listen. She puts her patients before everything and is not only empathetic, but sympathetic as well.

Dr. Kumar was the first rheumatologist I saw after becoming symptomatic of what I now know is Lupus. I know these diseases are very hard to diagnose, but Dr. Kumar has poor bedside manner and does not act like she cares about her patients. I had terrible experiences while I was her patient and left in tears more times than not. So, please, think twice before seeing Dr. Kumar if you are undiagnosed/need a compassionate doctor who believes in you.

Dr. Kumar and her office staff are the best. She takes her time and really listens for each visit, and her staff are always courteous and very helpful.

Told her some of what was going on.. she didn’t even ask me to explain. Told me with fibro there were 18 pressure points you should press for that diagnosis... but said well I don’t have time for that it would take too long... but you have fibromyalgia..... if that’s what being a doctor is, anyone could be one. Uh ya... well hmm it looks like maybe cancer, but uh we should probably run tests to find out , but I don’t have time for that so uh ... it would take too long, you definitely have cancer.. Could you imagine that? This is scary that a doctor would diagnose without doing all the work. It’s lazy and not professional, and incompetent.. especially when they’re going to give medicationfor a diagnosis they did nothing to ultimately prove to a patient that they have. Don’t waste your time.

Dr. Kumar is a Godsend for me... kind caring, courteous, and extremely smart. Spends as much time as she needs to with you and listens to you ...Wait time is reasonable. I love this Dr and am so thankful she is here in Lufkin. Staff is awesome too all of them !!

Dr Kumar is an excellent doctor .. she is friendly and caring... great staff
