Patient Reviews
Aug 05, 2021
I went to Dr Kumar to find if I was still allergic to penicillin. I had a rash after taking penicillin in my twenties and so all my life I have been given high powered broad spectrum antibiotics for relatively minor illnesses since I could not take penicillin. Though I am quite healthy, I am also in my 80’s and I was worried about developing resistance or even being harmed by these very powerful drugs. I found both Dr Kumar and his staff to be knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Each step of the process was explained in detail and the testing was carried out efficiently and in a timely manner. I am very happy to report that I am no longer allergic to penicillin and will be able to have many more treatment options should I require them in the future.
