In patients' words
"Excellent doctor with good skills and a through approach to my problems. Couldn't ask for more."
— Zheni Stavre, MD patient review (February 2026)"This man should have his license revoked as he is - in my opinion - largely responsible for the death of my mother... his lack of professionalism and normal human concern are definitely factors."
— Dr. Daniel Mandell patient review (WebMD)"Unfortunately I can not give less than 1 star, they cancelled my wife's schedule waiting for 1 year, reschedule after 6 months when we showed up after confirming that appointment they said there is no appointment... secretary from Dr Tara N. Kumaraswami, MD is very rude, unprofessional."
