I feel so fortunate to now be in her care. It was the worth the initial bumps in the road.6/12/2026 | BayCare Verified PatientShe is the best physician Ive ever had,6/10/2026 | BayCare Verified PatientI was very impressed with Dr Kumar. I was sent to her for an area that she does not typically handle. Yet she still took her time with me and listened to my journey of why I was sent to her. She even helped me find a possible solution in another area of health care. I actually felt heard and left her office finally thinking wow I am not crazy. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs her and her field.
