"I had a great first visit w/Dr.
Veena Kumaravel, M.D. She was attentive, knowledgeable and put together a great treatment plan."
"Very down to Earth. Provides clear, concise, and understandable patient education and reassurance. Is an active patient advocate at the point of contact by making great effort to understand patient's perspective. Her body language during my office visit was impressively worth mentioning because bedside manners are so strongly lacking now a days. She visibly displayed to me a respectful high level of genuine concern, and gave me a strong sense that she sincerely cares about her patients. I can't say enough words to express my gratitude and appreciation. -Amy Adams"

She was very personal and answered all my questions. We were able to schedule my 2 procedures the following Monday at MRMC.

I Was never nervous and she as ver assuring. Highly recommend."

Thanks"
"Dr. Kumaravel and her team made me feel very welcome comfortable for my first colonoscopy experience. She was on time, efficient and had great communication about the procedure and my results."
"My experience from start to finish was excellent. The staff that attended to me getting me ready for prep were awesome! Ashley, Traci, Sarah, Marcus and I think Alan who assisted Marcus in hooking me up. If I misspelled a name or left someone out please forgive me I can blame it on the drugs.
I had never met Dr. Kumaravel my first time seeing her as a patient. She was very kind, professional and patient with making me feel very comfortable. She let me talk answered my questions with a beautiful smile under the mask with her eyes.
They were gentle with me and I felt like I was in good hands. Hard to feel that way when you are going for any procedure at the doctor's. When I awaken it was over and I actually didn't feel like I had a procedure done.
Great Doctor!
Sarah"
"We feel they did a great job. Thanks for making something not fun okay."
"I’ve been Dr. Kumaravel’s patient since 2017. She is so professional, knowledgeable and patient! She takes time to connect with her patients, make sure she understands their concerns, and then fully answers any questions they have. Her office is also very professional, well run, and puts patients concerns as a priority. I’ve had to call during after hours and they always quickly return my calls and make sure concerns are addressed. I cannot say enough positives for this office and dr."
"Time & Treatment was awesome. No wait time at all. Dr. Veena Kumaravel was so humble, courteous, went in depth of the issue, and diagnosed. I would give a 5 star rating. She made me feel so comfortable."
"Dr. Veena listened to all my symptoms, concerns, eating habits thoroughly and also made notes of those details, she actually remembered some of the things that I had briefed in a previous visit while in a follow up visit. She prescribed lab tests, carefully examined them and recommended necessary treatment and adjustment of eating habits, ofcourse this treatment plan was specific to my condition and severity and may vary for others.
I had actually called other Doctors offices near my home prior to this office, but was instantly disappointed after talking to them because they REQUIRED endo/colon scopy prior to Doctor's visit.Shows the amount of sincerity Doctor's have for treating patients.
Anyways, Dr. Kumaravel mentioned the underlying cause of my issue, and if the symptoms did not come down during the treatment period, procedure will be conducted. I am more open to her intelligent deductions and procedures rather than going to tests blindly.
Recommend her highly.
Oh, I almost forgot, the way she meets and greets with warmth and genuine compassion is unmatched. Interaction and bed side manners are awesome. Office also has good gut health informational books in the book shelf."
"Dr. Kumaravel promptly responds to questions. Thoroughly explains my diagnosis and treatment options. Highly recommended."
"She is really nice Doctor, My wife is her patient. I haven't seen a doctor who cares for her patients so much, she gives you full time to understand your problem, She personally call you if you call her in office if you have any problem.If their are more stars than 5 I will give her more stars. Unfortunately 5 is highest."
"I went to Dr Kumaravel on a referral from my PCP. I found Dr Kumaravel to be very personable, explaining everything in detail, laying out the pros and cons, whether for medication, testing or both. She is very sharp and extremely proactive when it comes to finding out what’s ailing you and moving forward with the treatment(s). I have never felt that she was in a hurry to get me out the door. I’ve always gotten any question I had answered promptly.
The check-in process is simple and efficient and the staff has always been easy to deal with. The front office staff is knowledgeable, and they’ve always provided me with all the necessary information for any treatment and/or tests ordered by Dr Kumaravel. I love their website; it has all the test instructions for pre and post-op testing or surgery in an easy-to-read format. My calls have always been returned in a timely manner.
I highly recommend Dr Veena Kumaravel and Digestive Health Associates for any digestive issue."
"This doctor sat and actually listened to my symptoms and appeared to have compassion and empathy. I just wish all of my doctors would be as well educated and sympathetic. Especially since I have mysterious symptoms. Then she had 3 plans of action. Luckily there is a medication that may help. That's plan one. So far I love this doctor! What a fantastic bedside manner!"
"I went into the ER last Thursday and from the minute I met Dr K I loved her caring manner and after she performed ERCP with Sphincterotomy, I knew she would be my new GI.
Can’t say enough about her incredible bedside manner and knowledge."
"Dr K is the most caring and patient doctor. She answers all your questions, spends time to make you feel comfortable and understand all concerns."
"Very caring and knowledgeable. She takes her time with you. I'd highly recommend her."
