Philosophy
For Dr. Kumar, medicine has always been about more than treating a condition. It is about understanding the person behind it, listening carefully to what matters to them, and earning the trust that comes with caring for something as personal as their eyes and face.
Medical School & Recognition
That philosophy has guided him throughout his medical career. During medical school, Dr. Kumar served on the medical school admissions committee and received the Arnold P. Gold Humanism in Medicine Award, an honor selected by his fellow medical students recognizing exceptional humanism, integrity, and empathy in medicine.
