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.

Please take advantage of Technology. The TeleHealth feature is very streamlined for the doctor to speak to his patients from their home setting. It saves your loved ones from going out into the bitter cold. It was a great tool in a pinch. Office visits are the best option. It is nice to know that there are options in this digital age. I guess that is the new way of a virtual house call. ALL GOOD. Keep up the good work and SPIRITS of your patients. Thank you Dr. KUMAR. Much appreciated! Enjoy your weekend. PEACE

So disappointed
Such not professional work ethic in this office. Lack of empathy and attentiveness from the both doctors for my concerns about my healthy. I will not recommend this office if you want to find caring doctor because you will not find them there. So disappointed

Waste of time
I had a case of an alarming biomarker that continued to rise. Had me do all types of tests. After seeing him for the 4th time he told me to go see another hematologist because he didn’t know what was wrong with me. Only time a doctor has ever told me this. I was shocked. Complete waste of time.

Highly Recommend Dr. Kumar
I've been taking my 93 year old father to see Dr. Kumar for a few years. He sees his appointments at the scheduled times, we've never had to wait. He is patient when dealing with an older person, never rushes us and answers all questions very clearly. We feel very fortunate to have found him.

Antiquated Phone System
I was discharged from a four day stay in the hospital on a Thursday. My instructions were to see Dr. Komar immediately, which I did the following Monday. Dr. Komar said my results from the bloodwork would be in Wed. and I would be notified. No one called. Try getting through to a live person is futile. I still have not gotten the results of my visit.

Dr. Kumar is a wonderful doctor. Ive been seeing him since my previous doctor moved/retired. I was nervous bc I loved the previous doctor but turns out he is just as great. He listens to any concerns, helps try and find the right medication if something isn't working. He also just also remembers little things like when I come in he always remembers to ask how my migraines are ect. If you are looking for someone who pays attention to your needs, this is the doctor for you. Office staff has also helped me with lots of issues over the years also with insurance ect. Great office.

I have been seeing Dr. Kumar for a couple of years, since my previous doctor retired. I have not had this much faith in a doctor for years. He looks at everything, but as individual things and holistically. I am very satisfied with the doctor and the practice in general, and hope to continue seeing him for many years.

Dr. Kumar is very knowledgeable, intelligent, caring and kindhearted person and an excellent physician. He was very prompt and available for consult and professional with my mother's medical issues. He personally facilitated my mother's visit after giving early appointment and was supervising the process of blood tests and follow up. I highly recommend Dr. Kumar.

Dr kumar, does NOT care about people. Not only did he refuse to see me for my visit when I was ALREADY in the examination room, but he refused to come and talk to me about the issue. Which was an insurance issue. All he cares about is money. Otherwise how could you refuse to see a sick patient who is waiting?? I’m sure him taking care of me would really have put him in debt. Dr Kumar, you should be ashamed of yourself!!!
