As previously mentioned, Dr. Kumar was understanding he was patient. He had reviewed my prior history rather than having to ask me 1 million questions he didn’t sit in front of the computer trying to get his notes in. He listened to me. He understood my concerns. He just reminded me of the old school doctors who took that time rather than treating me like I was a statistic.
