Dr. Kumar was right up front and apologized for my experience and asked me what he could do to make sure that that did not happen to anybody else coming through his practice so that was a pretty standup guy kind of thing

08/04/2023

Everyone was great

08/03/2023

I was stressed out and suffering from heavy anxiety as a result of my condition. The staff was excellent in making me feel comfortable and relaxed. I was probably rude and difficult at first, but the staff never let my actions influence how they treated me. They were so nice and were excellent at helping me relax and feel comfortable in a normally very uncomfortable situation for me. I cannot thank them enough.

07/14/2023

Dr. Kumar has always been very caring & compassionate towards me as a patient! He did my gall bladder 11 years ago & was exactly the same towards me 11 years later for my herniated belly button! Always very professional & kind!

The doctor explained my diagnosis in a manner that I fully understood.

06/22/2023

He made me feel comfortable and that I could rely on him to help me with my issues.

I would rate very few medical practioners as highly as this one, he is one of the few from a passing bread of physician.

04/13/2023

Dr. Kumar is the best!!!

04/13/2023

Dr. Sivakumar did not try to persuade me to have surgery but instead explained my options and is willing to do a yearly follow up appointment to monitor my condition. I felt very relaxed with him and with his doctor in training.

04/13/2023

Doctor Kumar took his time with me and I did not feel rushed. He explained so well what he thinks I have going on physically and the treatment necessary

I think perhaps Dr. Kumar could have shown me the CT scan photos and explained more clearly where the bowels are looping in the hernia and more about the actual surgery that could be done if I had I chosen to do the surgery. rgy
