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.

Excellent care, excellent physician
Dr. Kumar listens well and answers all questions with care and kindness. He is very knowledgeable and thorough, and explains everything clearly. I've been seeing him twice a year for 5 years. His bedside manner is outstanding. His office staff take care of meds and appointments quickly and professionally. I recommend him without reservation.

Wonderful doctor
Dr Kumar initially saw me in the hospital and I have continued with him since then. He was very personable and caring, and he discussed with me every aspect of my care, both while I was hospitalized and in all my subsequent follow up visits to his office. I would recommend him highly.

Exceptional care and follow up
Dr. Kumar smiled widely as he entered the exam room to see my husband after an 8 day hospital stay. That put us at ease immediately as he thoroughly discussed his case and made positive recommendations. I wish I could say more good things about Dr. Kumar and the hospital who found my husbands rare condition in less than 8 hours from being admitted.

Unwilling to truly listen
Truly unwilling to listen to my concerns regarding my own treatment between my Podiatrist MD and my agreed plan for treatment. I would highly recommend passing on him and find a qualified MD that actually allows you to finish your sentence before injecting his misguided opinions.
