Dr Kumar makes all of us feel very comfortable when we come to see him.. he engages with us all in a very friendly manner and most of all we always leave with a smile on our face and my kids always say how nice he is to them… dr kumar makes sure my daughter gets the correct diagnosis and medicine required… he listens to everything me and my child have to say in regards to her asthma and doesn’t dismiss anything like I have experienced in the past with doctors… overall an amazing doctor…
