“Very good doctor who genuinely cares”
Dr. Kumari is an excellent physician who truly cares about her patients. She gives the right attention especially if your child needs that special care. Her office is in a convenient location with ample parking spaces. The office itself has a nice ambiance and the staff are very courteous and professional.
Would highly recommend them.

“Couldn't ask for anything more”
Dr. Kumari is so patient with my daughter. I've searched all over for a pediatrician who could understand our special needs since my daughter is 3 yrs old, non-verbal with autism and SPD. Dr. K really knows her stuff. I love that she is informative but not condescending. She takes her time with you and makes sure you have all the information and answers your need before you leave her. staff is also so understanding of my daughter when she is afraid of everything due to her SPD. They accommodate us in every way possible.
Highly recommended.

“Excellent doctor”
My son had asthma and I had a pediatrician who worsened his health with stronger and unnecessary steroids. Then I found Dr Kumar she is very understanding of your concerns and plans it according. Best care ever, best staff too.

“Excellent Doctor and Wonderful Staff”
We never had any problem scheduling the visits and Dr. Kumari always had suggestions and advise which helped my daughter. I am very happy to have Dr. Kumari looking after my baby.
The only reason to give 4 rating is the waiting time during the visits.

“The best doctor ”
I have a 18 month old kid. My kid was very comfortable whenever he goes. He was like going to a play area. The doctor is so good that he was in all smiles whenever he meets her. Dr. Kumari is really good dealing with kids.

“Excellent Physician and office staff”
We are parents to two daughters and absolutely love the care we receive from Dr. K and the office staff. Very hard to find a physician that takes the time to actually listen to your concerns and needs, but even more so she (and office staff) takes the time to listen to our children (and really listen) and even respond. We are so happy that we found Rise & Shine Pediatrics.
