Patient Reviews
Jul 30, 2023
Dr. Kumar has been my nephrologist for about a decade. I came to him with kidney function that was continuing to decline - and had been exacerbated by a medicine prescribed by my cardiologist. Dr. Kumar first halted the acute problem and then stopped the declining function (actually my markers have improved under his care). I credit him that I have not needed dialysis.
