Nov 18, 2023
Dr.Kumar performed several operations on me. I was in pain at 3AM called service & he called me back at 3:05 AM. I WOULD NOT go to any other Surgeon as long as DR. KUMAR is still working. Treats you like family, professional, great bedside manners, Constantly keeps tabs on you to ensure you are doing well. THE BEST SURGEON in Brooklyn. A true caring Dr who makes you feel at ease without any worries. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
