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.

My experience with doctor Kumar & his staff was amazing! He was so patient explaining every concern I had. In a caring, compassionate and very profesional manner. I highly recommend him and his practice to my friends and family. Thank you doctor…. Good job!

Dr Kumar is so patient and caring
Dr Kumar and his staff are wonderful! Dr Kumar takes his time to listen to my concerns and allows me to ask all my questions. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable, and caring. I saw him last month for the first time. I needed his expertise. He changed my medication and I’m a new person. I highly recommend Dr Kumar and his practice. His staff is great too. They are knowledgeable, kind, and return phone calls in a timely manner. I’m very grateful for Dr Kumar and his staff.

Outstanding!
Dr Kumar spends a lot of time with me, explains things well, listens to me, and answers all of my questions. He sometimes thinks out loud as he analyzes a problem, and it's interesting to hear his thought process. He's never steered me wrong and seems to genuinely care about all of his patients. Dr Kumar considers all aspects of his patient's health, not just the heart, and he works well with other specialists.

I’ve been in health care as a profession for nearly 40 years. I find Dr Kumar highly intellectual with the skills physicians too often lose while at the same time an excellent communicator. His staff is cordial and his nursing team is well schooled in thei field but have the traits I admire in that they listen. This is a great specialty office and I believe Dr Kumar is the best I’ve seen. I feel fortunate to have found him!

I have been a patient of Dr. Kumar for many years and I have recommended him to many friends and I recommend him to all without reservation. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and willing to explain and answer questions. I have received the best medical care as his knowledge goes beyond cardiology, he is the greatest doctor. Dr. Kumar is supported by a wonderful staff of caring and competent people, also very important in my opinion. This is a medical office you will look forward to going to.
