Philosophy Of Care

I believe the cornerstone of excellent and effective medical care is based on the partnerships I have with my patients. Every patient and every clinical scenario is different, and I strive to tailor my approach for each patient. All patients deserve up-to-date and detailed information on their condition, as well as a compassionate approach to their care.

The doctor seems very nice and knowledgeable. He apologized for the late start. He was thorough in his explanation of the procedure. I just wish that he had told me that I had a very long wait ahead of me. I left with the impression that I would get a routine colonoscopy in a few weeks not a few months.

Dr Kumar was above and beyond my expectations and past experiences with doctors over the years. He is compassionate, communicative, and understanding. He was very detailed in explaining my condition. He explained why he doesn't think it is one thing. And explained why he feels it is something else so that I can feel confident in my diagnosis. It's been alot of years since I've had a doctor that is this communicative. But that also does not talk to me as if I am beneath them and they know more than I do. I left feeling as though he genuinely wanted to help me and serve me well with his care.

I had a 10A appointment and the rest of the day was a good day because of the very positive experience with the clinic and Dr Kumar. Who knew?!
