    How was your appointment with Dr. Kumar?

    Feb 22, 2023
    Dr. Kumar took great care of my mom when she needed gastro surgery. He is a highly skilled surgeon with the best bedside manner I’ve ever seen in a doctor. He is patient and kind. He explains the procedure and follow up care so there are no surprises. His Office staff are kind, knowledgeable and helpful. I feel blessed that he was my mom’s surgeon.
