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.

Office is a mess
Office is super disorganized and can't even do the billing correctly despite telling them exactly how to do it with instructions from insurance company. The doctor lacks empathy and is very cold. Just tried to push us to use sonar eggs without even trying other treatments first. Terrible experience.

I cannot express how grateful my partner and I are for the exceptional care and support we received from Dr. Kumar. He took the time to thoroughly understand our unique situation, explaining all our options, risks, and potential outcomes in a way that was easy to comprehend. His ability to put us at ease and provide reassurance made a world of difference in our fertility journey.The staff were always friendly, accommodating, and sensitive to our needs. Thanks to his expertise, I was able to deliver our long-awaited bundle of joy and we are immensely grateful for his care.

Had a terrible experience with this doctor. Never seen a doctor lie so much, and didn't hear my cries for help, didn't even do an ultrasound. He told me I am perfect and well, and the next day we ended up in the emergency room because he didn't monitor my condition and ignored all the data. I would not recommend him at all.

Concerned Patient – Jul 22, 2022

I worked with Dr. Kumar in 2010-2011. Thanks to him I have my amazing baby girl (now age 5). He was so supportive and professional. In utero fertilization was not working so I I had to do in vitro. Pregnancy problems are so devastating, but with Dr. Kumar's expertise and help I was lucky enough to have a healthy baby girl. I highly recommend Dr. Kumar to anyone struggling with infertility.

Dr. Kumar is one of the most courteous and knowledgeable doctors I've had. His demeanor has always been calming to me. He's always patiently and thoroughly explained answers to questions, from mundane to technical. We're now successfully pregnant with our second child through IVF process done at Dr. Kumar's.

I have went to three other specialist and could not get pregnant. Dr. Kumar is a very caring doctor. I would highly recommend him if you have P.C.O.S and struggling to get pregnant. The staff is amazing and kind.
