Patient Reviews
Oct 04, 2023
I had been experiencing debilitating symptoms for over 8 years by the time I was first seen by Dr. Kumar. My prior rheumatologist was condescending & never did anything to help me, so I didn't have high hopes or expectations when I went to Dr. Kumar. My outlook changed after my first visit with her. She took her time, was curious & knowledgeable, & she was validating of my symptoms. She started treatment immediately, & within a few months, I was feeling like my old self, which I didn't know was possible. Dr. Kumar has given me my life back, & I feel safe in her hands. Absolutely top notch!

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
