    I appreciate how professional and knowledgeable Dr. Kumar is while also being personal in the sense that he will acknowledge the patient's sibling and has established a relationship with my children where they enjoy going to the doctor and are not afraid or nervous.

    To start from beginning, from the time I called the staff was amazing. I was given the appointment the same day that I requested. Then the staff asked me if I needed help logging in that they would guide me through. Then Dr. Kumar was right on time for the appointment. As always he was very efficient, professional, and know everything about my child. He addressed my concerns and worked with me to resolve the concern. He always value my feelings and thoughts and he teaches me wonderful things about my kids overall health and behavior. I recommend Dr. Kumar to everyone and I love the staff he has chosen because they are very nice and always willing to help. My kids and family love Dr. Kumar very much.

    We've had a number of pediatricians, and Dr. Kumar is head and shoulders, hands down, above all of the rest. He goes above and beyond to make sure that our children are well cared for, treats them as individuals with respect, and he also communicates with them in ways that they can learn about healthy behaviors.

    Summer interns were in the reception office . They themselves had their food and drinks out. It was not a very professional sight. They should have been in break room. Intern physician who assisted our regular Dr was not introduced nor did he speak to our child. Odd experience with that .
