      Dr Kunwar exceeds expectations and personally exemplifies what a doctor truly is. I am so grateful for this man. He has been an angel in my corner since 2006. I cannot thank him enough.

      Doctor Kinwar was his usual friendly, professional self. Hadn't seen him since he worked on my brain 2 years ago so it was nice to see him again!
