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 had been to 3 different podiatrists prior to Dr. Kumar and she was the one who was finally able to give me relief with a correct diagnosis in 7 years. I would not recommend any other podiatry group! Neuhaus Foot & Ankle is the best!

I was referred to Dr. Kumar from my PCP, and I am so pleased with the service I received from her and the Neuhaus staff! Everyone was friendly, explained exactly what I could expect, options and costs, and Dr. Kumar was open about discussing my options. I came in expecting to have one of my toenails removed, but it was good to know all the options I had regarding the procedure. I went into the surgery nervous, but she was so kind, gentle, and after following her instructions I have not experienced any of the pain I expected. She was quick, thorough, and I would recommend her any time for any service.

Dr. Kumar knew exactly what to do to fix my issue - achilles tendonitis. I was walking better in days. No more hobbling around first thing in the morning. I wish I had gone to see her months ago. Short wait time. Friendly, and I felt that she truly cared about helping me feel better.

I was struggling with foot pain for many years. Could not consider walking as an excercise because I will end up in stress fracture. Dr.Kumar recommended some exercises for the foot, proper shoes & insoles & now with proper foot support, I have been able to walk as a daily excercise. I have taken to jogging too. Gone are my daily foot pains. Thank you Dr.Kumar for helping me experience this miracle.

Dr Kumar performed Bunion surgery on my left foot in April. I followed all instructions on elevating, icing, and wound care. After 3 weeks I was back in a normal shoe and walking normal. After another week I was back at my F/T job which requires me to be on my feet on a concrete floor for 8 hrs a day. Thanks to Dr Kumar, I am back to all my normal activities with no more foot pain!
