Personable, Pleasant, and hears concerns and requests. Explains his findings and procedural goals thoroughly in an easily understood language for the average, non-medical profession, patient. Has always had an upbeat and positive attitude and didn’t make one feel rushed.
Friendly, knew my situation, had a plan.
Great surgeon. Takes time to explain and answer questions. Office staff is very nice.
Thorough caring patient explained all options answers all questions great manner
Dr. Kumar is friendly, knowledgeable and to the point. I appreciate his thoroughness when explaining his findings and the options that follow.
Thank you YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
Dr. Kumar has done a phenomenal job with my NCAA-athlete daughter’s severed meniscus repair. From surgery, to rehab to communicating with the providers she will see upon return to campus in the fall, Dr. Kumar has been knowledgeable, professional, vigilant and fully supportive. Highly recommend.
Very personable and seems to care about his patients. Explains everything thoroughly and hears what the patient has to say or ask. He’s open to one’s thoughts and gives you a tool box, so to speak, to understand and decide what direction you want to take. Up front and honest. I would highly recommend him for any ortho concerns! Thank you Dr. Kumar and staff. Yes, his nurses and partners were also very pleasant and made the process easy and as comfortable as one can be getting ready for surgery!
Excellent physician! Very compassionate and knowledgeable!
Amazing personality, bedside manner and sense of humor who didn't leave me sitting and waiting for long!
