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.

I could not understand him. He wanted to up my dose of hydroxychloroquine that was killing my stomach with no reason.

Disappointed but better now
First impression of doctor was very kind and professional but after blood test came back I felt he should have contacted me and went over in detail the findings of Lupus being present in my blood versus having Michelle do so she has been helpful and tried but I had to make an appointment with him to get many questions answered. Perhaps more attention could be made to this in the future but I am sticking with him as I do trust his opinion now and waiting further advice on whether or not I need to start meds. Okay no have to say

Wonderful doctor
I met Dr. Kumar last year. He was the only rheumatologist who was willing to help me with my hand issues. I suffer with severe arthritis in both hands. He listened to my concerns and respected my limitations and worked hard to help me. My kidney issues limited how he was able to help me but we found a workable solution to my problem. He is an answered prayer and his staff is awesome, kind and amazing. I highly recommend him to everyone!!! He is a fantastic doctor!!!

I was being shuffled around between all different types of Drs and tests for 5 years with no one to offer any answers or pain relief. After 2 visits with Dr Kumar and minimal tests, he gave me a diagnoses and treatment that has saved me from horrible pain. I am very pleased with his care and his staff is caring and has always been helpful and responsive.
