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.

Great first experience
Perhaps the bad reviews are because they dont understand him, ive never met him until today and i would definitely like for him to stay as my primary doctor. Very straightforward and tells me exactly what it is that he sees as the plan of attack for my health concerns. Very kind with his time and thankfully hes not a pill pusher, i found myslef trusting his word . He seemed to literally just want me healthy not band-aid me till the next visit... perhaps the world is becoming soft because he does tell you what his aspect is and exactly what is in his mind your best course of action... 5 stars so far

He was awesome!
Dr. Kumar was very thorough and went over all of my medical concerns with me. He advised me on next steps and I felt completely confident with his advise. He made me feel comfortable and was both caring and detailed during our visit. I read reviews before coming to see him, and I was worried, but it felt like the bad reviews were about someone else!!! The person who wrote them must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed!! He was great!

The worst provider I have ever seen. Extremely condescending, pompous, and arrogant.

Didn't listen to anything I had to say. Was convinced I had Covid-19 even though 3 different tests came back negative. Was too quick to try to send me to hospital. Kind of arrogant.

I wish i could only put O star. He wasn’t nice and reassuring with my child during the whole visit/examination and once he examined him, my son son cried (he hurt him). I wish it was a female doctor who would have seen my child because she would have been more gentle and empathic. He should’t take care of children because he is bad with kids. I felt so sorry for my kid once we left. He was also annoyed each time I asked him a question and would answer abruptly and impatiently. For instance he would just tell me to look at the instructions of the medecine when i asked him questions about the medication, etc... He rushed the whole appointment. You could tell he wanted to be done with his night shift. Like the earlier reviewer, i confirm that he is pompous. It is the first time i see a doctor that is so unkind in a moment when you are worried for your child. It was a very bad experience for me and my child!
