Dr. Kumar is clear in his explanations, always gets back with reports of findings, and is the best gastroenterologist I have ever had. He has great diagnostic ability.
More than 1 year agoAP
I only met Dr. Kumar one time at our initial office visit. He was calm, he listened, and I think conservative in advocating a procedure. I appreciate that in a doctor.
