Dr. Kumar is a very kind well-spoken doctor. He spoke in a way I could understand exactly what was going to happen. I felt very confident and comfortable.

Dr. Kumar performed an excellent surgery on my ALIF. He was quick to action, steadfast in his approach and a professional in his deliverance. I'm already feeling the difference.

(3 weeks ago) Sep-2026

Dr. Kumar was extremely knowledgeable, caring, and thorough. He spent almost an hour with me explaining my spinal situation and possible outcomes from surgery or no surgery to decompress my L5 L4 area along with stabilizing the two disks. He listened and reviewed my concerns in a way that was very easy to comprehend. He makes you feel heard.
