Upbeat, honest, no holds barred Dr.
Explained throughly....why and why not.
Gave a couple of possible options but willing to try surgery if needed. Not surgery happy. More interested in patient outcome then quick fix maybe.

I appreciated Dr. Kumar's thorough discussion of his findings and recommendations.

I was sent there by my physician, to talk about problems with neck, back and brain tumor to see why I was so dizzy all the time. He said I don’t know why you are here and wouldn’t even listen to me. Just very arrogant, thinks he is too good for some people. Would not recommend him at all. So very rude.
