| November 2024 Dr. Selvakumar is very thorough and makes sure, there is a plan in place before you leave and he makes sure that you and him are on the same page regarding that plan and that everyone understands the next steps to be taken. We really think a lot of him and wish that he could be our sons regular pediatrician because he is way more thorough and seems to care a lot more than our general pediatrician. I never take the time to do these surveys, but think that he deserves recognition! |

| November 2024 The doctor was on point. He also added a few additional things to watch out for as well as what to expect in the future. |
|
| October 2024 Dr Kumar did a great job of reviewing my son's chart before our visit. Listened to my concerns. He explained his treatment plan and gave me the opportunity voice any questions or concerns. It was a great first visit. |

| October 2024 Dr. Selvakumar is fantastic |

| October 2024 I can't tell you enough how impressed I was with Dr. Selva Kumar. His preparation in advance of our appointment (reviewing my son's record), his compassionate communication with my son and thoughtful informed recommendations for his health |
|
| October 2024 Always thoughtful and caring- answering all questions I had- wants to do what's best for my child |
|
| September 2024 He is one of the best pediatric specialists I have ever encountered. |
|
| August 2024 Dr. Selvakumar was reassuring. It's scary to take your baby to a specialist. Left the appointment feeling better. Grateful for his pleasant demeanor and competent medical advice. |
