On my first visit to Dr. Kumar I found him to be very professional and compassionate. He was patient and took time explaining everything to me. With his years of experience he proved to be extremely knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable and at ease. I would recommend him and am thankful he is my gastroenterologist.
