“I have had two visits with Dr. Kumar & Dr. Kate, they were very attentive to all of my needs and listened to everything I had to say. They made suggestions and some medication changes that turned out to be very beneficial, as I struggled greatly with chronic pain and many other health conditions. They made me feel at ease and comfortable. They made me feel like I was heard when I was explaining the issues I was having, instead of just dismissing what I had to say. I would recommend anyone to see Dr. Kumar or Dr. Kate”

We love Dr.Kumar! He has a great personality and is extremely responsive. He has helped our son out so much. We highly recommend him.
Ks pediatrics is so wonderful. Their attention to the patient’s care is unbelievable!! Any questions or concerns, they always respond rapidly. Best there is around.
We have been seeing our Dr for about a year now. Every time we see him he is very nice, easy to talk to and understands our concerns. He also has clear orders and talks about side effects of the drugs we r taking so they are easy to understand. Anytime we need to talk to him he is easy to get ahold of and gets us in as soon as he can.
