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.

A Dr that actually listens!
Dr Kumar is very attentive during my visits, she addresses all of my concerns and clearly explains follow up steps or tests needed

A caring, thoughtful Dr.
I have been seeing Dr. Kumar for nearly 10 years and feel like she has established a trusting relationship with me. She listens to my concerns, gives thoughtful answers to questions, and I don't feel rushed. Once I asked for a consult with another Dr. and there was no hesitation for her to coordinate it. Dr. Kumar is very thoughtful and I would have confidencee referring her to anyone needing her care.

Best care
Dr Kumar uses her knowledge, sme, and experience all to benefit the life of her patient and their family. She surrounds herself with an excellent team. Even the weekend answering service was the best for listening and not requiring you to repeat anything! We received a call back within 5 minutes by a top notch physician that is part of the metro west practice at the sight. What we are dealing with as a veteran is challenging, but we can’t think of a better place to be. Our thanks to all involved with the practice!!

I have been seeing Dr. Kumar for years and I would recommend her to anyone. She has helped me so much with migraine. You can tell Dr. Kumar isnt too busy to be bothered with her patients, and actually cares deeply for their whole health. I love that her approaches include other elements of wellness like sleep, mental health, diet and so forth. I know I can count on her to give me top of the line care every time. The whole staff is fantastic as well.
