Of all the care I receive at Henry Ford, I consider my annual visit with Dr. Kumar amongst the most Important.

Dr. Kumar has been my retinal specialist for the past 5-7 years. I see him annually for a check-up. He is brusque and efficient. I don't think he knows my name. However, he was highly-recommended to me as "the best." If it comes to the point where I will need to receive more advanced care for my vision, I believe that Dr. Kumar can provide this. This Is what Is Important to me. He's not my friend; he's my retinal specialist.
