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.

Was very highly impressed with him and his pa Jacob.

The Best of the Best
Dr Kumar has been my shoulder doctor for a few years now. He recognized my fractured shoulder after I was told there was nothing wrong. He can do no wrong as far as I am concerned, he sits on a high pedestal.

Total Shoulder Replacement
I have seen Dr Kumar for rotator cuff and arthritis problems. I had a shoulder replacement several months ago. In hospital, Dr Kumar helped me feel very confident that I would be well taken care of, and indeed I was. He is professional, trustworthy, kind, and his team works very efficiently. I highly recommend him for shoulder issues. I wouldn't see anyone else.

Shoulder Surgery

I tore my left rotator cuff. Dr. Kumar performed the repair surgery, using the latest surgical techniques. The pain was minimal and the recovery time was much shorter than I thought it would be. He has years of experience and his ability to diagnose my problem quickly, allowed me to get back on the Golf Course within 5 months. I would recommend Dr. Kumar to my family and friends.

Excellent surgeon
I had severe, painful shoulder issues and got to meet Dr. Kumar while supporting a friend. As a nurse, I found his post-surgical report a marvel. I came away knowing what to do and when. I got an appointment quickly, was evaluated thoroughly and readied for A Reverse Total Shoulder replacement. The entire process was smooth, exactly as described and I was given very clear instructions for my recovery, which has been excellent. A year later I have no pain and can actively use my shoulder!

Dr Kumar has done a reverse shoulder surgery on me. I had no problems with pain, pt. All is really good, I’m back to normal. I have had many surgeries during the course of my life and of course met many Dr’s. I have to say that Dr Kumar is one of the best. In my mind he is a scholar in his field. If you’re looking for a Dr to hold your hand and/or entertain you Dr Kumar is probably not for you. If your looking for the very best, a Dr that is 100% on when your in his care then you have truly found the right physician. Good luck to you and thank you, Dr Kumar

Shoulder surgeries
I had two successful right shoulder surgeries done by Dr Kumar one a Rotator Cuff other Capselar Release. So happy to say it's been just nine months and I have been cleared to only come back as needed. It could have been up to two years before I felt completely healed!! This is all do to Dr Kumar's knowledge in surgery in these areas! I totally recommend him to every person for him doing your surgeries!! His PA Jacob is amazing also!!

Reverse shoulder replacement
I had a reverse should replacement by Dr. Kumar 4 years ago. I could not be happier with the results! I have had no issues with it at all. Very little pain after the surgery also. I had my other shoulder done in NC several years before this one. My experience with Dr. Kumar was by far the best one!
