Dr. Kalpana Kumari, MD

I had great reviews for the doctor earlier and stand by it still. She is a great doctor in the Edison area and I have been seeing her for the last year and a half. However we encountered issues and had bad experience with one staff in particular, Danielle I think her name was. Normally all the staffs in the clinic carry a great attitude but this one staff had to be put on the spot, as she neglects any concerns patents bring to her at the front desk, never checks with the doctor for availability. My son had been crying incessantly and needed some help. We ended up making a sick visit to an almost empty office that day with the associate doctor already seeing one patient. While I totally understand that it was an unplanned sick visit and was willing to wait, Danielle simply shut the door on us saying that I check back with the doctor 2 days later as it was a weekend. If she were to atleast check with the doctor on phone first before telling us to leave, I would have most appreciated her efforts and would have reflected a different feeling that they are there to help us and not merely do business with -- a trait that a front desk person should highlight the most but was seriously lacking a kindred feeling. Other than that one concern with her staff, we still found Dr.Kumari to be one of the best doctors in the Edison area.

Dr.Kumari is one of "the best" pediatricians without a shallow of doubt in my mind. From the very first time we saw her for my newborn, she never ceased to impress us. At the time, I considered a few pediatricians affiliated to JFK Hospital and in Edison area and you can tell which doctor is passionate towards her profession as opposed to just being money minded. Dr.Kumari is a cut above the rest. She is extremely dedicated, and her bedside manner is outstanding. The staffs Danielle and others are very friendly and easy to work with. She has an answering service on days they are not open and if its an emergency, the doctor will call you back. She answers all questions in detail, I never feel rushed during her visits. Plus she is very knowledgeable I must say. When my son Rishaan was born he was diagnosed with jaundice and Dr Kumari would often do more than 2 visits a day to have my son checked. Once I think she was around at a 11pm at night and fully committed that we really really appreciate. You would be hard pressed to find a pediatrician like her in this day and age. My wife and I totally love her and I highly recommend Dr.Kumari if you are in the Edison area.

Doctor is really good and she spends sufficient time and goes through each and everything with the parents about the child, the only problem is waiting time is little bit more than expected. For each visit at least you have to wait about 30 minutes for the doctor.

We needed a pediatrician for as soon as we moved here when our daughter was ill and we were fortunate that the first one we picked turned out to be so good for us. I'm glad that she recovered well with the doctors help and continues to provide us a lot of support for the ups-and-downs since. I'd definitely recommend this doctor for your children. You will get heard, get advice and will not go through a cookie-cutter process like I have seen with some of my other colleagues and their peds.

After a several weeks long search for a good pediatrician and kissing quite a few frogs along the way, we finally found our prince, princess in this case. Dr. Kumari is a great pediatrician and such a pleasure to talk to. She is kind, caring, and very knowledgeable. She is not one of those 60 seconds or less pediatricians that I have been to in the past. She takes her time to understand your concerns about your precious one. She is very detailed oriented and extremely organized. She goes in depth of all the issues that might be a concern for you. She is very resourceful and provides you with many options. She provides you plenty of handouts and links to educate you regarding your child's health and well being. She is always available when you need her. She has very convenient hours and even when the office is closed, she is only a phone call away. She is a big advocate of 5210, 5 fruits and vegetables per day, no more than 2 hours of screen time, more than 1 hour of physical activity and 0 sugary drinks. My children are very excited about their new mantra. They love how friendly she is. Her office manager is also a pleasure to deal with. I strongly recommend Dr. Kumari for all your pediatric health care needs.
