Patient Reviews
Aug 21, 2020
I have had the great honor of being Dr. Kumar's patient for almost a full year after switching from a less-than-helpful MGH PCP, and I can't sing her praises enough. Dr. Kumar and her practice are the reason why I was able to get immediate care needed for Covid-19 (confirmed by a positive test) and why I have gotten the amazing support needed as my case of Covid-19 became chronic. I have experienced tremendous gaslighting from specialists and my former PCP in regards to Covid-19, and Dr. Kumar has been the ONE practitioner that has actually listened to and truly supported my Covid-19 symptoms and experiences. She is extremely knowledgeable, will do everything that she can to educate you about your health and next steps, and is the greatest medical ally I've ever had. A truly gifted doctor and person, with so much compassion and medical knowledge, and has been my one ray of hope in this long haul Covid-19 fight. Best it gets as far as I'm concerned.
