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.

Worst visit to date
I wait 45 minutes only to be taken back to see the doc. I told the person that they had not drawn blood yet. She said that I was not scheduled to draw blood. I told her that I have a written appointment to draw blood. She told me that I had no such appointment. I told her that they ALWAYS draw blood before I see the doc. Finally after 30 minutes they drew my blood. After waiting another 20 minutes I saw the doc. F8nally after 2 hours I was able to leave.

Caring and professional
I was referred to Dr. Kumar after suffering from a large saddle pulmonary embolism and for a mass found in my lung. Dr. Kumar is thorough, kind, easy to talk to and will call or text back whenever I have questions or with CT results.

I`d like to say that I really enjoy having Dr. Kumar as a hematologist as I go through this issue with ITP and also I love his nurse practitioner. She has blonde hair and for the life of me I cannot remember her name but I appreciate all the staff at Dr. Kumar`s office, they do an excellent job.

I love Dr. Kumar and all of his staff, they`re all very very amazing I just wish they would do the hematology too as opposed to strictly the oncology.

Dr. Kumar is about the best doctor I`ve ever had. Very courteous, very knowledgeable. Also Chandra is the one that always draws my blood, she`s always very friendly, upbeat, and knows what she`s doing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Dr. Kumar is exceptional. I will not have any other oncologist take care of me. It has to be Dr. Kumar. He is so very caring, he`s very thorough, I do not feel rushed. I absolutely love the doctor. I wish he could take care of all my medical needs.

He has the worst bedside manner and he doesn’t have any compassion. He refused to send my grandmother to a critical care facility without any explanation as to why he wouldn’t send her there. He doesn’t explain anything to family and he is extremely rude. If you care about your loved one don’t let him oversee their case.
