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.

Dr. Ravi Kumar did two separate minimally invasive surgeries at different sites of my lumbar sacral spine. The results are outstanding with resolution of pain. I highly recommend him as an excellent physician and person. He is kind, caring, competent, and empathetic. He listens and communicates well. He is authentic, very approachable, and respectful. His character is impeccable. I am fortunate to be his patient.

Dr. Kumar is a highly skilled physician who saw me through three neck surgeries. He listens carefully and empathetically and is able to convey understanding and kindness. He is genuine, very trustworthy, and authentic and he uses his sense of humor well. I am very grateful to be feeling much better now.

I have had back and leg pain on and off for 20 years. I have forfeited travel and been flat on my back for days and weeks at a time. Dr Kumar performed a minimally invasive L4,L5 bilateral laminectomy without disrupting my disc at either level.and I am now pain free. Amazing surgeon and all around really professional.

Dr. Kumar was polite and respectful. Great bedside manner. He listened to my concerns and gave the appropriate exams for them. I had traveled a long distance to receive information about a cavernous malformation. He discussed in detail what he saw on the imagining/other testing and why they were concerning. I'm impressed with his knowledge and how he is current with technology and disease processes. He discussed the treatment plan that best fit my situation. Highly recommend.
