Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Kumar and his staff are the best very efficient with all treatment options and scheduling

IMHO, he’s a shady, traveling, stim salesmanl
When he found out that my condition could only be treated with a prescription for pain medicine he said he couldn’t help me with my pain. A PAIN doctor, right? This was continuation of care, as my previous doctor took a new job. I wasn’t a cash cow. Only a beacon for the DEA. I can’t blame him for not honoring his oath to help his patients to the best of his ability, regardless of the government. That’s only guidelines, anyway! It’s the paperwork.

I have suffered from severe chronic low back pain fro 25 years. I tried everything medication therapy, injections I was at my wits end until I met Dr. Kumar. He recommended the spinal stimulator. We did the test ans I didnt want the test to end.. It was the first time in years I had been pain free. I had my spinal stimulater implated in April 2019 and the differance has been so incredible.. Instead of spending 3/4s of day in bed laying on my side I was now able to be up and about three quarters of day.. I now babysit my 10 month old grandson three days a week Two weeks ago I went to North Carolina and learned how to kayak! something I have wanted to do ror 35 years.. I am planning travel for next year all because I am now able to because of Dr. Kumar and my spinal implant.

I am thankful that Dr Kumar was able to help me. I have duodenal ulcers, and fatty liver and cannot take any over the counter medications. Dr Kumar reviewed my complete history and was able to prescribe the stimulater for my spine and due to intense burning because of my cervical stenosis and crushed discs make it possible to get the medical marajuana. I am looking forward to my next visit and follow up.
