        Dr. Kumar-Merkes is wonderful! She well knows my history, even that which has happened in the interim since I last saw her. She listens carefully. She is great at answering questions and explaining things. She is the BEST!

        Dr. Kumar is one of the nicest and most competent doctors I've ever seen. She always knows my history and listens to all my concerns. I've seen more than my fair share of doctors in my life and she is one of the best.

        Dr Kumar has been one of my most knowledgeable, informative, caring and helpful Doctors that I've had the luck and privilege to be her patient.She is very wise in her field and I appreciate her more than I can say! She worked with me to find medication to halt my Migraines. I am beyond blessed to have her as my neurologist.

        My only complaint is that it would be preferable to be able to schedule follow up treatments and appointments sooner. Maybe it would help to increase staff so one Dr doesn't need to be scheduled so far out

        Dr Kumar is very personable and professional. With her treatment, my decades-long struggle with migraines has substantially reduced from being a major detriment to my lifestyle to an occasional interruption I'm able to quickly and easily manage. She is easy to talk with, she listens, and is genuinely concerned about me as a patient.

        Dr.Kumar is an exceptional doctor. She gives attention to detail and make sure I am well taken care of. She included my husband in the visit and was very receptive to his input. I feel she is very respectful and very knowledgeable. Two very important qualities. She makes me feel like a special, unique individual that deserves her time and I greatly appreciate that. Thank you for the care Dr. Kumar.
