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.

He is quite simply the worst physician my family has ever encountered. He doesn't answer questions and in fact seems put out when asked anything. I honestly wouldn't recommend him to anyone unless you want your loved one to be in worse condition after he has treated them.

Dr. Kumar SAVED MY LIFE. I am Here today, writing this, because of Naresh Kumar. In December 1995, I was involved in an auto-accident; luckily, Dr. Kumar was in the ER that night. He recognized that I was hemorrhaging internally - even though my initial vitals weren't *that* abnormal. He rushed me into the OR, where he discovered several severe internal injuries, including life-threatening damage to my liver. I owe my LIFE to that man. He is a Phenomenal surgeon! As well as my Guardian Angel.
