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.
This was a telemed visit. Dr Kumar answered all my questions and never hurried me. I was very satisfied with the call.

The doctor was great, didn't have to wait long to see dr kumar, spent his time examining me and getting the whole story about my pain, he explained clearly what my problem was and what the options were to help me feel better. Eventually I underwent an injection which was great had excellent relief right away, was very impressed by how gentle he was during the procedure! Highly recommended, his staff is awesome too

Dr. Kumar is a professional, experienced pain management anesthesiologist. He has been treating me for CRPS/RSD a chronic neurological pain disorder that was misdiagnosed in the early stages. I have been through many different treatments options with him until we found the best option for me. I would highly recommend him.

All was well except that:
My new prescription was sent to a mail order pharmacy for a deliver instead of my preferred local pharmacy. I was told I would get 2 new prescriptions but only one was called in. Now, I still have to follow up tomorrow to get status update and maybe wait longer for a prior authorization. Please resend my prescriptions to St Alexius Med Center Outparient pharmacy. Thank you.
