Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kumar?
The staff at the office is pathetic. It took 7 phone calls over 12 days to get a prescription sent to my local pharmacy. I had a question after my first appointment that I tried 3 times to get an answer to and never received a returned call. When I showed up for a follow up appointment they claimed to have no record of an appointment for me even thought I had the appointment reminder card with me. If this is the staff he keeps, how can I trust the doctor's judgement?

He may be a great doctor. I will never know. His appointment-staff is a mess. The first time it took my doctors office over 20 minutes to schedule an appt with him. Had me going to Middletown at first. I live in N Wilmington. Then they said I needed 2 Appt on different days. I said ok. Then they called me and said I didn't need 2 appts and set me up with a new appts so the doctor would be there, then they called me today to confirm an appt. that they canceled. At this point I said forget it.
