"I truly cannot say enough good things about Dr. Wanebo. From start to finish, our experience with him and his team been thoughtful, communicative, and caring. He listened when no one else did, and said yes to a surgery that other neurosurgeons balked at."
— Healthgrades"Dr Kumar was late twenty five minutes then checked my strength for a minute and when I asked questions he spoke over me was condescending. I was told to “hurry hurry I only have five minutes for this visit... I left the office in tears."
— WebMD"Unprofessional office. You find out that your appointment is cancelled as you arrive. After you are inconvenienced (on your next appt) when you arrive less than 10 minutes late you are reprimanded like a child by disrespectful and unapologetic and unfriendly tech."
