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.

Fabulous physician
Dr. Kumar is great with patients as he is always kind, friendly, and easy to talk to. He takes time to answer any questions that you may have. His staff is also great as well.

Doesn’t spend much time and no use of expertise
I’m not sure what happened he used to be a good doctor , now a days all he does is come for a minute at the end after his assistant talks to me for minutes . I go to him for his expertise I can go to any doctor if his assistant is taking care of everything. Spend the time and listen to patients

Bravo
I recently visited the doctor's office and had the pleasure of being attended to by Physician Assistant Rachel. I was truly impressed by her attentive and caring approach. She took the time to listen to my concerns and genuinely understood my needs, going beyond just providing a quick fix. The team offered valuable guidance and ruling out any bone issues or other things and then making a plan for exercises for my joints and encouraging a healthy lifestyle for long-term improvement. I also had a fantastic experience at their lab. The person who drew my blood was incredibly skilled and gentle, making the process painless. Moreover, their friendly and professional demeanor made me feel at ease throughout the visit. I can't even locate where the puncture was made! Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience at this doctor's office. The dedication of PA Rachel and the exceptional lab staff deserves a big round of applause. Kudos to the entire team

Exceptional Family Doctor
Dr. Kumar is by far the best and most knowledgeable of any Doctor I have had through 52 years. He cares for about his patients and goes the extra mile. I moved out of town 4 years ago, and still make the 2 hour drive. Great staff!

Me and my family have been with Doctor Kumar for over 8 years. He is that old school family doctor that treats your entire medical needs. He will provide guidance and refer you to the most appropriate specialists. He digs and will get to the bottom of your problem and steer you in the right direction. He has never been in a rush and his staff is exceptional. When you are having a medical crisis, they try their best to work you in, even if it is virtual.

You will not leave an appointment with Dr Kumar and not know all there is to know about your health status. He is very thorough and takes the time to explain all necessary information. He shows dedication to his skillset and maintains a very good communication style. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Kumar himself is a good, courteous and technically proficient physician. However, his office staff and billing practices may leave something to be desired. I was denied a simple refill for a prescription strength anti-dandruff shampoo which is sold over-the-counter in most countries because the doctor allegedly wanted to see me for a full blown physical. I question whether this was true as the doctor was currently out of the country. I suspect it had more to do with insurance billing.
