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.

Excellent doctor. Caring human being.
Dr Kumar became my doctor the same year he moved from CT to FL. I am so grateful to him for the wonderful care he has given me. I learned about RA and when to know I needed to see him for help. Lyme Disease had been off putting for some doctors but Dr Kumar had lived in CT and is quite knowledgeable about it. I had to move back to CT and I miss Dr Kumar very much. If you are fortunate to be his patient, please say Hello from me. Thank you.

I started going to Doctor Kumar for some time now. I went to several different Doctor’s for treatment for my illness but to No avail. I was in such a bad shape where it was difficult to do anything with my hands. My body for whatever reason would attach itself causing the skin on my hands to peel and split open. I believe I went to probably about 8 or 9 different doctors with negative results. I was put on 3 different shots one of them was 8 thousand dollars a shot and I would have needed 5 per year. They were not affective to my illness. Doctor Kumar took the time out to do his research by studying my labs and did not stop until he was able to fine the right drug to treat my illness with positive results. He reassured me that he would not give up until the he finds the right medication to treat my illness. Doctor Kumar is amazing, and it made him feel good to see me smile and to see that he was able to give me relief. If I could give him 100 plus stars I would because that’s how ama

Dr Kumar is a sharp and compassionate physician. He kept trying and kept me well informed of all pros and cons of each option along the way until we found the best treatment for my RA. Cann’t be happier.

Dr. Kumar is an exceptional physician! I am so grateful to him and his staff for the help they're providing me. I have been to numerous rheumatologists in the Northeast and FL and he, above all, has helped me the most in only 3 visits. I look forward to my return to much better health under his kind and expert care. Thank you.
