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.

Best nephrologist in Oklahoma hands down.
Dr Kumar is my, fairly new nephrologist, as I’ve battled kidney problems from birth and I am so very pleased with him. He has a remarkable memory and my visits are always helpful. He treats the whole person not just my kidneys. Dr Kumar is so thorough. I highly recommend him and his entire practice as everyone there is so kind, friendly and caring. His bedside manner is amazing. I am so thankful to have been sent to Dr Kumar, a true blessing. Thank you

He is an excellent dr who cares about you and your well being...he is very knowledgeable about kidney disease and he makes sure to know everything about you and your condition..he will really encourage you and give you a high five when your doing well and he will ride your butt when you are slacking...all the nurses want to stay on his good side when it comes to his patients because he will definitely let them and you know if you flubbed up....but that is exactly what I want for me and my family ...everyone screws up sometimes but it's nice to have someone who cares enough to get you back on track....I admire him so much and now my son has the same kidney issues I have and there is no one else I would want him to see...Dr Kumar is the absolute best and I wouldn't trade him for anyone.

Dr. Kumar is an amazing doctor. I cannot say enough great things about him. He is knowledgeable and informative and he really cares about his patients. I immediately felt at ease and felt confident that I was receiving expert medical care. He treats me like I am his only patient when I know he is extremely busy. His staff is great as well. I am so happy he is my doctor because I know I am in great hands and I will live a longer, healthier life because of him.

Dr. Kumar became my Nephrologist approximately four years ago when I starting having kidney functioning issues. Dr. Kumar worked very diligently with me to try to extend the functions of my kidneys. Dr. Kumar has proven over time that he is very concerned and devoted to my health and well being. He is a very good listener and works very closely with my Dialysis nurse to ensure my lifestyle is as healthy as possible. My husband and I have total confidence in Dr. Kumar and would encourage anyone having concerns about their kidney function to reach out to Dr. Kumar for his professional expertise and knowledge.

I have had the privilege of having Dr. Kumar for over 10 years. I have had some somewhat unusual health issues and he has always figured out the best course of action. He is smart, diligent and compassionate. I am blessed to have Dr. Kumar as my physician.

Dr. Kumar has saved my life twice, once when no one else was willing or maybe even able to figure it out. I could not be more grateful. He is kindest most respectful doctor I have ever seen. I have a long history of doctors abusing me either physically or emotionally to the point where I simply just do not trust any doctor. My experience with Dr. Kumar is very different. He not only treats my condition but also considers how that affects my life and my family. I have heard others describe him as a doctor that makes decisions straight from the numbers but he tempers those numbers with intelligence and compassion.

Dr.Kumar has treated me for 5 years or so. He is really terrific. Very attentive to detail, patient with respect to explaining what is going on and always quick with getting back to me for follow up issues. Scheduling appointments is easy and he is on time almost all the time. I recommend him highly!

I was seen by Dr. Kumar in the hospital and he seemed nice enough but wasn't very fourth coming with information and only spent a few minutes at a time with me. I'm not very impressed.
