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.

Dr. Kumar Was a NO SHOW for appointment!
Telehealth
I had a sleep study done by her and I was supposed to get the results of the study via a Video call meeting. She never called me at the time and date of the meeting that was scheduled by her office. So I don't know the results of this very important study. I've been waiting for their office to return my calls and no one has called me. This shows they either don't care about their patients or that they are simply incompetent. I think some of both. So please help me with this and ask them to set up a video meeting with me ASAP. Thank You! Sincerely, Todd Dallaire

I feel very fortunate that I was referred to Dr Kumar. Not only is she an expert in her field, but she genuinely cares about her patients. She thoroughly explained all testing and results in language that I could understand. I never felt rushed. Subsequent visits have been consistent with the first.

Dr. Kumar spoke to me regarding some touchy subjects such as the need for weight loss and a history of depression. Despite this I felt very comfortable with her and never ashamed. I felt that she really cared when talking to me. She made eye contact and did not rush me through my appointment. After the sleep study she fully explains to me the results of my study and my second experience mirrored the first. She was again caring, respectful and present. I highly recommend her!

Money hungry doctor. Everything is a follow up. Doctor does as she wants and doesn't listen to patients concerns or finances.
