Patient Reviews
Apr 17, 2019
Dr. Kumar is an extraordinary doctor! I recently had a colonoscopy, which I had been putting off for a while. However, the procedure was a quick, painless, and non-event. He is one of the most kind, compassionate, professional and knowledgeable doctor that I have ever met. He didn't make me feel like a number. He took the time to explain things before the procedure and then afterwards. If you have been putting off scheduling your colonoscopy, I highly recommend calling Dr. Kumar's office today.
