Dr kumar is a very kind and caring doctor. I have been under his care for about a year or 2 and i have only good things to say about him. But i don't like his staff very much; partly because they have kept important messages from him.. I don't know if he knows all that i have told his staff and that has potential to be very bad. I will say he seems to have some anxiety but he's still a good doctor.
