Verified patient
Dr. Kumthekar was a bit younger than I expected. However, I immediately liked his willingness to listen. I did not feel rushed and he seemed genuinely concerned about my issues. He also was quite knowledgeable and offered a doable plan to help me get better. Therefore, in spite of his youth I felt very comfortable with the cleanliness of the office, friendliness of the staff???? and relieved to have found a rheumatologist I hope I Can build a relationship. with. One who will have my best interest at heart, and who is more concerned about me than about prescribing another pill.? The fact that I no longer have to travel into Manhattan to find a good rheumatologist is refreshing. So I am going to try to stick with this doctor and see if together we can ?help me live my best life.
