Dr. Kumar is an excellent GI doctor, both my daughter and I see him. I had suffered with chronic diarrhea since 20 years of age and 37 years later he was finally able to get to the root cause of it and I feel like a new person. My daughter is doing so much better as well and really glad he was able to diagnose her properly at her age (22) so she didn't have to go through what I went through for years.
