One of his patients died as a result of a surgery performed incorrectly by him.
Aug 10, 2025
Dr Kumar cut into my husbands nerves and muscles and caused my husband to have constant pain and a deformity. He never acknowledged it and was very rude to me when trying to communicate with him during the surgery
