Tarun Kumar, MD,

"Terrible, front desk is rude and hung up on me after trying to get information for my son for days, kumar didn’t care to look at all he was supposed to on my son, didn’t help with anything. Very disappointed"

"This is the second time Dr. Kumar has seen my daughter for a procedure in the ER. He was thorough, provided adequate information about the risks, and was caring and kind to all of us. I appreciate being able to ask him what he would do if it were his child and receiving his genuine response."

"We don’t have words to express our happiness and gratitude to Dr. Kumar and Dr. DiMeo. They are extraordinary specialist drs., humble and with great dedication to their beautiful work. They are Emerald’s Heroes with God’s love. Our baby has Biliary Atresia, Dr. Kumar explained the Kasai Procedure for our baby surgery. She is doing great thanks to God. They will continue looking for her health and doing all the best they can for her progress. “Here is a message we made from our baby to her wonderful doctors who saved her life with God’s hands and love.” Thank you so much from the bottom of my little heart. I'm blessed and fortunate mommy and daddy met you. "Your compassion and kindness was truly appreciated!! You are amazing, and I'm grateful you are in my life and I'm under your care. I will pray every day that God's blessings are upon you!" Your lovely patient: Emerald Charlotte Ulrich :)"

"I could just cry thinking about Dr Kumar. I don’t know how he does it. I hand my son over for surgery, and Dr Kumar sends him back safe and sound with the issue fixed every time. He also manages other risk factors my son has and trust me, the man misses nothing. So thorough and highly skilled at his profession. I feel bad because my son only seems to give the cheesy smiles to female nurses, but oh I wish he knew what he owes to Dr Kumar! The staff at the Mercy Subspecialty Clinic are amazing too! Quick with callbacks and communicate well with the physicians. This is one of the smoothest running offices I’ve ever seen. We also see Dr Francolla-Plati for GI in this same Clinic, but I put her raving review on her healthgrades page. But trust me she’s just as amazing in her field as Dr Kumar is in his! We’ve also seen Dr Maurice in this clinic. He’s the pediatric plastic surgeon. While he hasn’t had to do surgery on my son yet, we’ve discussed all of our future options as he grows. The man is an innovator and seriously knows his stuff. He has clinic days where he meets with one of the local ENT doctors (Dr Young) to coordinate care with patients. Plastic surgery and ENT goes hand in hand many times with pediatrics, so it’s incredibly convenient that they collaborate like that. Best Clinic ever!"
