Excellent appointment. Clear and concise information

These ratings primarily reflect my interactions with the radiation oncologist.

Jul 23, 2026
Dr. Kumar, my radiation oncologist, has been exceptionally good at including me in decisions about what treatment to try next and exceptionally good at explaining the risks and rewards of these treatments. His focus on my specific medical history, my specific responses to therapy to date, and my need to deal with my uniquely troublesome side effects, was commendable. All of these aspects of Dr. Kiumar's care stand in sharp contrast to the inattention, indifference, and assembly-line service that I had been receiving from my medical oncologist who Is part of a separate medical practice.
