      Dr. Kumar always gives explanations that an ordinary person could understand. She also gives options and decides taking into consideration what the patient prefers. She is a very kind and friendly doctor who values patients

      Doctor Kumar is without a doubt, the best doctor that I have ever worked with. She actually cares (or is the best ever at pretending to care lol). She listens, she explains, and she possesses the humanity needed to treat patients the way they need when going through a tough time.

      I appreciate her explaining the lab results to me. It can be confusing understanding all the specific parts of my health issue and how lab results relate.
