Patient Reviews

Jan 18, 2021

After years of seeing other doctors and not finding a solution for what I now know is IBS I saw Dr. Kumar. He listened to my issues which had become embarrassing after so many attempts with other physicians. He made me very comfortable and explained what we needed to do to find what was wrong. He was able to pinpoint the problem and get me on the correct medication very quickly. After years of struggling with this, I am able to live my life without incident. I could not be more thankful. His staff is efficient and if you talk with them they are kind and friendly. I felt Dr. Kumar was committed to finding the right treatment for me after he heard my family history and he did.
