I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional care and support Dr.Kumari provided during my recovery process. Her judgment and course of action have truly given me a new lease on life, and I cannot thank her enough. The journey I underwent under her care was undoubtedly a challenging one, but her expertise, compassion, and dedication made all the difference. Dr. Kumari's ability to make sound judgments, coupled with compassionate approach, created a healing environment that instilled confidence in me from the very beginning.

I felt like she was scattered unfamiliar with me and my case. I would have hoped she would have taken a second to review my case before the visit.

Always a pleasant and thoughtful meeting with direct communication on the current situation and next steps.
I feel privileged to be one of Dr. Kumari's patients and grateful to be under her care.

The appointment was a let down for me. First, 20+ minutes late isn't respectful of my time. And I felt that the doctor was rushing and it almost seemed as if she was reading from a pamphlet.
I did not have confidence that she had fully reviewed my medication and lab results history prior to our meeting.
Thank you so much doctor Kumari for your advice and your help.
She is the best Dr I’ve ever had in my life. She is excellent at listening to me and my problems.
She is concise - does not waste time - is confident - and has prepped for her visit. The only hiccup was I think she thought she was putting my lab test on a shared screen, but it looked more like contemporary art. The blues and greens were gorgeous.
She is very easy to deal with.
