Reviews
"Dr. Kumar is an intelligent, humanistic, and capable physician. I recommend her highly."
"She’s kind and a great listener and makes time feel like it is not an issue. She’s on time and her staff are lovely."
"I will disagree with the previous poster. Dr. Kumar is polite, professional and thorough. She caught a thyroid condition which often goes un-diagnosed. She looks at the big picture. She can refer to all of Boston's top specialists and the Waltham location is such an easy in and out."
"I had already seen several specialists at the MGH Waltham location and was pleased, so I thought I'd give the primary care a try. Big mistake! Saw Dr Shilpa Kumar. First, I was rushed into the room by a nurse muttering something about staying on time. She actually looked anxiety ridden about keeping the appt on time. I know that my case is a complicated one, so this was the first red flag. Second, I told the Dr I had been coughing for 3 weeks, felt like I had a consolidation in my chest, felt short of breath, had been using my nebulizer, and cough medicine (in addition to other issues we discussed). She never listened to my lungs nor suggested a chest xray, but I did hear about her patient behind me, who was running late? 3 weeks later I ended up in Urgent care, couldn't breath still, felt lousy, and still coughing. Chest infection, 10 days of antibiotics, still coughing bc this went untreated for 5 weeks. Thirdly, her staff are not polite or professional. Her appointment scheduling person, Samantha, scolded me (the patient) for their practice being too busy and understaffed to reply to an appointment request confirmation I sent over, 3 times, on their electronic patient gateway, bc the office staff can't field all the phone calls they get daily. Lastly, I wrote Dr Kumar an email letting her know that she missed my lung infection diagnosis. No response. I called MGH patient liaison and told them about my experience with the practice and was told the practice manager would get back to me when she was back in the office on Jan 16th. Again, no response. These people are incompetent, have no follow up, are understaffed by their own admission, so if you want the worst Healthcare has to offer a sick patient, go here."
