Sep 20, 2023
I was recommended by a client and I had my first visit with Dr Kumar and was impressed with him!!Had my colonoscopy and he told me I had colon cancer so I had to have surgery and I wasn’t nervous because I knew I was in great hands and he did a wonderful job and my recovery was very good. I didn’t need chemo or radiation and he was always there for me if I needed him!!Love his staff also and they are also there for you too!When I was in the hospital after surgery the staff only had wonderful things to say about him including x-ray techsThank you for all you’ve done for me Dr Kumar
