Comments
"My experience with pulmonology was great. The staff is very kind, helpful, and considerate, and the doctor takes time with you to understand what you're talking about and explain the medical jargon to you in simple, plain English. Overall, this practice from one to 100 is 100."
"Dr. Kumar has been so helpful in my care from where I was at with my asthma when I started seeing her to where I am now. It's absolutely exponential growth. She's always taken my concerns seriously. She's taken my feedback in my own treatment and she's made sure that I fully understood any course of treatment that she wanted to take. I sincerely appreciate all of her help. It's been fantastic."
"Im very confident in the ability of this provider to care for my health."
