Gave me the background for my tests, results, and next steps. All of his explanations were in simple to understand terms. Very thorough and friendly at the same time. Highly recommend.

He was very forthcoming with my surgical explanation. The surgical experience was better then my initial appointments where he presented much more arrogance and high strung.

I feel like Dr. Kumar cares about his patients. He treated me well I’m just so sore right now, but I know that’s just part of the healing, but I was happy to have them for my doctor.
