Was referred to Dr. Kumar for a routine colonoscopy from my PC doctor. It was over ten years since my last. Found him to be competent, and caring. He also impressed my wife with his explanation to her of my results when I was recovering from the anesthesia. During his follow up a week later, he listened to all my concerns, explained when I should have another scope and why, (this wasn't done after my first in much detail) and offered simple options to ongoing constipation. I would highly recommend him. My lower mark was on the office and staff was due to the crowded office. Possibly, too many patients being scheduled.  The staff themselves were great.
