Patient Reviews
Jun 06, 2018
After four other specialists couldn't help my fiance, we went to Dr. Kumar. She was professional and courteous. Our wait time was minimal and walked out pleasantly surprised with our visit. Dr explained his options and her recommended follow ups. Other Drs wanted to do laser treatments but Dr stated those would not help. She answered all of our questions and concerns. We are very thankful to have found this amazing specialist.
