Dr. Kumarappa is extremely a pleasant doctor to be around. She takes her time to explain the diagnosis and she answers all questions thoroughly to your understanding .She doesn’t rush you and always ask again if there are more questions. Even in uncertainty of the patient she breaks down the plan of action to treatment. Her nurse assistants are nice as well .
