The dr had great bedside manner, but when I was checking out, the staff was incompetent about scheduling my follow-up.

Dr. Kumar is my PCP, and since I started seeing him the entire process—from scheduling appointments to diagnosis—has been very smooth. He is attentive, listens carefully to all my questions, and addresses them thoroughly. I’m very satisfied with the care I’ve received and would definitely recommend him as a PCP.

Dr. Kumar was great! He was friendly, patient, and thorough. The staff and nurses were also all lovely and efficient. The office runs well and I had no wait time. Definitely recommend.
Less than 3 months agoDavid H.Verified patient
I’m glad I found Dr. Kumar. I chose him after reading the reviews, as I’d been without a primary care physician for quite some time. He and his staff were excellent. I had a thorough physical, including an EKG and a sonogram performed by the nurse. I then met with Dr. Kumar to review the results and discuss my medical history and medications. He also ordered all the blood work I requested and later followed up with me through the app. I’m looking forward to my upcoming checkup and highly recommend Dr. Kumar.
February 18, 2026Kieren E.Verified patient
Honestly, probably the best PCP I might have ever had. Everyone was very accommodating, helpful, and kind. The doctor was able to see me right away. He was a great listener and gave me recommendations on how to proceed with my issues.
February 5, 2026Stefanie G.Verified patient
Dr. Kumar was absolutely wonderful - so patient, kind and took the time to listen/respond to all my questions. Will be going to him as my PCP moving forward, highly recommend!
January 22, 2026Michelle K.Verified patient
I showed up, filled out my paperwork, and was seen immediately after. Staff at the desk, those assisting the doctor, and Dr Kumar himself were helpful, informative, and patient with all of my questions. The person who drew my blood did so very easily and efficiently, which I find is not always the case. I will be booking with this office again for the foreseeable future.
January 12, 2026Jacob C.Verified patient
Dr. Kumar was attentive, answered all my questions, and explained everything in detail - what things meant, what to expect, etc. Communication was clear and Dr. Kumar was patient and took his time. All staff members I encountered were professional and friendly. I was able to get all follow-up appointments and referrals booked which is very helpful. 5 stars, 100% recommend.
December 31, 2025Siying H.Verified patient
I would highly recommend Dr. Kumar as a PCP. In the short time I have met him, he has treated me for 2 separate health issues very efficiently and professionally. Dr. Kumar is very friendly, knowledgeable, personable and has amazing bedside manner. He is not impatient and takes the time to listen to your concerns, answer your questions and provide whatever medical insight you need to feel better/understand the medical choices made during the visit. Every time I leave Dr. Kumar I feel better and confident that whatever I went in for will be resolved. He has even called me after my visit to follow up with me to ensure I am ok, which is not something you experience often with busy NYC doctors. Highly recommend!
Less than 6 months agoDenise W.Verified patient
Dr Kumar was the nicest primary care physician I've ever met. He listened to my concerns, gave me referrals, was supportive of the medications I was on, and generally just very sympathetic. The annual physical exam itself wasn't as thorough as I expected but that could be because I didn't have any complaints / am considered young and healthy.
I will say the lab team's attitude could improve...

My annual checkup was as good as it could get. I came back to this office after taking a year break and I highly recommend it. “Six stars” Thank you.
October 7, 2025Daniel A.Verified patient
Dr. Kumar and all the staff at MOM are very professional and empathetic. They listened to my concerns, explained my care options to me, and did it all with a smile and good sense of humor! In a healthcare world where PCPs increasingly only allocate 5 minutes per patient, Dr. Kumar took the time to chat with me and actually get to know me as a new patient. This level of attention is what differentiates a successful and attentive PCP from a bad one, and it is why I wholeheartedly recommend MOM and Dr. Kumar to all!
September 15, 2025Kieran A.Verified patient
It was so well set up and welcoming, great space , only thing it was almost 3 hrs for a physical which was unusual, wait time between ultrasound/giving blood was excruciating especially when you fasted for hrs , but overall I was quite impressed

Quite literally saved my life. Took time to listen to me, thought through possible diagnoses with me, and found my life threatening heart issue that lead to my cancer being diagnosed at a curable stage. Cannot thank Dr. Kumar enough for how he handled my situation. He was beyond caring and throughly worked through the possibilities until he properly diagnosed me and transferred me to the ER for specialized care. 11/10 quality.
September 8, 2025John B.Verified patient
The doctor was great, and I would recommend him. I'm just terribly disappointed that ZocDoc said it was covered by my insurance and it's not.
September 4, 2025Maira N.Verified patient
The doctor took his time to listen to all my concerns & when he expresses himself about my weight he does not make me feel uncomfortable or offends me. In fact, the doctor did the opposite & gave me hope and inspiration and self awareness.
