Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Worst experience ever!
Terrible! My advice: Find another doctor who knows what a skin lesion looks like. Dr. Kumar is blind in one eye & can't see out of the other eye. No skin lesions anywhere on my body, yet he said I have Scabies. Two other doctors confirmed this was not scabies. BTW: Prednisone cleared up my problems. Allergies, NOT skin disorder! (I had been seeing Dr. Kumar for over 11 years!)

Dr. Kumar really is a rare type of doctor
Dr. Kumar took time to discover what I have been dealing with and he has already improved my life. I think God for doctors like Dr. Kumar.

Great Doctor and Staff
I’ve been seeing Kumar and his office manager, Crystal, for 14 years and he’s the most honest and direct doctor I’ve ever had. His staff has been with him for years which is a testament to how he runs a business and medical practice. After being a patient for so long I can call in and explain a simple issue and there’s no reason to come in and spend unnecessary time and copays. I travel a lot and if I need one of subscription filled in another state he makes it happen. That’s exactly what I want in a Primary Care Physician. Great job.

I love the staff, and Dr. A. Kumar, they make you feel like family. I know that they care about their patients. I chose Dr. Aravind Kumar, because of my cousin. She had a problem going on and reached out to me to get in touch with her. They just cared about her health. I decided to change my physician, to Dr. Kumar, I haven't regretted it at all. May God continue to Bless this office. Much love to the staff of Dr. Aravind Kumar ??????????????

He doesn’t listen, doesn’t care and if you’re overweight then every issue you tell him about if because of weight. He made me feel worthless and insignificant.

I started seeing Dr Kumar after a stay at life care August 2018. I was in his office first September 2018. Between September 2018 and August 2019 I was seen 3 times. Referred and medication changed several times. On my 4th visit in August 2019 I was in office... he came in read my chart and said.. "can someone tell me how she managed to get refills for a year without being seen?" I was embarrassed and humiliated.. left question where were my medical records and was all he was interested in was the office visit money he thought he had missed.

I Have been with Dr. Kumar for the past 9 years, he has taken very good care of my dad who passed away 3 years ago, and has taken great care of myself and my husband, if he finds the slightest possibility of a problem he takes care of it immediately. He has helped me with bladder cancer, a stroke and thyroid problems. He truly stays on top of everything.

Went to see this "quack job" for my shingles and a UTI. He saw me for one minute, didn't do or ask to have any further tests done. I was prescribed medicine for my shingles and antibiotics for a UTI, but nothing for the pain for my shingles. He turns to me when u adj for some for a pain killer, even non narcotic, just something for the pain, he rudely says "I don't prescribe pain meds" and walks out. Never again. I question this quack jobs license to be a doctor after the way I was treated and h
