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.

Sales pitch for a CPAP
Watched a bunch of dated videos on CPap machines, did not suggest other alternatives, very expensive 'preliminary' testing which was a take-home overnight sensor. Their report to my general practitioner was so boilerplate that contained things that weren't even done.

We highly recommend Dr. Kumar if you need a sleep study. The results were known the next for my husband’s sleep apnea study which was much different than the weeks we waited at another center for my daughter’s study. The office has been fabulous with follow up to make sure my husband has what he needs for equipment and medical management for his obstructive sleep apnea.

Dr Kumar put tubes in my ears to remedy fluid under the eardrum. I was pleased that he listened to me and answered my questions as tubes are a common surgery and he could have ignored my need for information. He has a good sense of humor and bedside manner. Surgery at St Mary's Surgical Center was also a great experience. His staff is wonderful and I have called back with questions and always receive an immediate response. Highly recommend.

Worst experience ever with ENT specialist. He was a roving specialist to a rural area. When he examined me with a nose scope, he pulled it out of his briefcase, lubed it up and stuck it up my nose to look at my throat. When done he rubbed handsanitizer on the scope and threw it back into his briefcase. At surgery for my PE tube he injected so much local anesthetic I had motion sickness for the next 24 hours. Never had that happen before. Overkill by performing tube insertion at surgery center

This was one of the worst experiences of my life and the biggest regret I have was walking through the door. Find another provider. I spent a total of 45 minutes in the office for 2 visits, about 5 of that with the Dr and they tried to convince me I had a mild case of sleep apnea and to solve the problem I had to pay for a cpap machine. It seemed like a scam to sell machines. No real solutions were offered and they stuck me with a huge bill without really helping. Look for other options.
