Dr. Kumar and his staff far exceeded my expectations and gave me piece of mind going into a major life changing surgery. My life is forever changed and couldn't have picked a better place and team to put trust in. Made the process easy and was available outside of scheduled appointments to answer and attend to any concerns or questions. Dr. Kumar and his team were exceptional and would recommend to anyone

Dr. Kumar was fantastic! I broke my glasses and asked his staff if we could do this on short notice and they had me in within ten days. I really respected Dr. Kumar when he advised that I chose PRK over Lasik, felt like he had my best interests in mind. His staff was very helpful with questions/worries/advice. Dr.Kumar is a very friendly person and I HIGHLY recommend him. I came in with around 20/50 vision and within a month after PRK surgery I had 20/20 vision.

Dr. Kumar is excellent. He is kind and professional and has a wonderful bedside manner. He put me at ease and talked me through everything until I felt very comfortable there.
All of the staff at the office is also very friendly. They help and answer questions any way they can.
