I first became a patient of Dr. T. Kumar almost 2 years ago. I'll be honest. I wasn't looking to her for a solution. I just needed 3 months of doctor supervised dieting before my insurance would pay for gastric surgery. Well, to my surprise I actually found a doctor who knew what she was doing. Every other doctor I went to for weight loss told me the same thing. I need to eat less and exercise more. But Dr. Kumar was different. Before she even put me on a diet she ran a battery of tests. Turns out that I had extremely high cortisol levels. That’s the first I’ve ever been told that. Had I gone through with the surgery I would have failed miserably. But Dr. Kumar put me on the right meds and the best diet for my situation. I've lost over 70 lbs, I feel much healthier than I did two years ago. I’m no longer borderline diabetic, my overall health has vastly improved. With her help and guidance I'm losing weight without surgery. I should also mention that Dr. Kumar is friendly with a great bedside manners. Not to mention her staff are amazing as well. I've never had to sit in the waiting room for hours. I've always gotten in right when my appointment was scheduled, but I've never felt rushed. Dr. Kumar has always taken the time to answer all of my questions. And I have complete trust in her ability as a physician to help me along my weight loss journey. I have recommended her to many of my friends. And I am grateful for all I have accomplished with her help.
