I visited Dr Jesse Kumar in January about my Thyroid condition. I can’t fault him one single bit. He explained everything in detail and was very thorough but explained it in a way that I was able to understand. He was very understanding and made me feel at ease. I wasn’t made to feel that I was just another patient with a condition he, I felt like he was genuinely trying to help get to the bottom of my condition. Couldn’t fault him a single bit. I would 1000% recommend!!

I have had a very pleasant experience with Dr Kumar. He comes across very polite, kind, caring and gentle. Dr Kumar has been very thorough with his checks and tests in order to find the root cause of my problem. I would be very happy to be referred to him again in the future.
