Great Surgeon! So happy that I chose to have my surgery with him. Great guy and gives you straight answers to expectations and process. Will go to him again when I need another surgery. Yes another one as this was my 5th but first with Dr Kumar. Oh and I just had my 6 month follow up and I’m doing great with very little discomfort. Great job and thank you!!

Doctor Kumar always impresses me with his attention to detail and his care and concern for my situation. I'm sure that his type A personality can cause some people to hesitate but rest assured that Dr. Kumar is on top of his game which translates to excellent surgical solutions for you!
