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.

Never. She is terrible. Should be 0 stars.
Terrible. Cancelled annual appointment less than 24 hours in advance of the day. Offered up a new date over 2 months later for an elderly woman with serious health issues. Absolutely no remorse or concern. Close to criminal behavior,. Avoid her at all cost. Does not care about her patients. Just running a business. Now scrambling to find a doctor for elderly woman that needs attention from a doctor.

My first visit with her was good but after some visits she started to rush me and I feel like she doesn’t want me as a patient because of her tone and lack of attention towards me.

Dr. Kumar addresses not just a primary health concern, but all concerns. She is knowledgeable about both mental and physical health and how they correlate with each other. She let me know that all that is simultaneously occurring in my daily life does bit mean that I cannot validate myself. She is understanding of putting a patient on a beneficial regimen of medication and self care.

Dr Kumar is one of the best! We've known her for about a year and a half since moving to Dallas. She listens well. Very patient, knowledgeable, and always offer insightful inputs. She's onboard (on the same page with us patients) and a very supportive team player for our overall health well being. Wish we'd found her sooner! The front desk is a bit harder to reach with phone calls at times. (You get put on hold for a long time). But Dr. Kumar is worth all and any hassle.
