Dr. Kumari is so patient with my daughter. I've searched all over for a pediatrician who could understand our special needs since my daughter is 3 yrs old, non-verbal with autism and SPD. Dr. K really knows her stuff. I love that she is informative but not condescending. She takes her time with you and makes sure you have all the information and answers your need before you leave her. staff is also so understanding of my daughter when she is afraid of everything due to her SPD. They accommodate us in every way possible. Highly recommended. Farrah R

I found Dr Kumari on the internet. I've been taking my baby there until she's 3 weeks old. Dr is a very nice person, she treats the babies with a lot of dedication and love. She even makes them smile. She will answer any question you may have and if she doesn't know the answer, she'll find it for you. Her team is great, they treat you nice while you are waiting, which it doesn't take long. I wouldn't change my baby's doctor for anything in this world. I am very happy with them. Recommended A+

on 7/16/13 I brought my new daughter-in-law and her 5 year old daughter, Ploy to see Dr. Kumari. the girls are from Thailand and just arrived in the US in May to be with my son. Ploy went to the office with a terrible fear of doctors after a bad experience in Thailand. Dr. K and her Nurse were absolutely wonderful. They let Ploy play in the waiting room for a few minutes, then did a full examination without her even realizing it was a exam. They were both so patient when they had to do pretend checks on us (mom and grandma) first to show Ploy it didn't hurt. We even managed to get her a vaccine shot which terrified her at first. If your child needs special attention and lots of TLC Dr. Kumari is the woman to see.
“If you want excellent care and lots of TLC Dr. Kumari is the doctor to see.”

We never had any problem scheduling the visits and Dr. Kumari always had suggestions and advise which helped my daughter. I am very happy to have Dr. Kumari looking after my baby. The only reason to give 4 rating is the waiting time during the visits.

We are parents to two daughters and absolutely love the care we receive from Dr. K and the office staff. Very hard to find a physician that takes the time to actually listen to your concerns and needs, but even more so she (and office staff) takes the time to listen to our children (and really listen) and even respond. We are so happy that we found Rise & Shine Pediatrics.

I am a single father raising a 3 year old girl, that has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum disorder. I was not satisfied with my daughters previous Pediatrician. He was cold towards my child, as soon as she heard his voice she would start to whine and did very little to answer any questions I had. When I was told about Dr. K having experience caring for children with special needs, I thought "What the Hell" Made an appointment. I could not have been any happier right off the bat upon entering the office. It was clean, and tidy. Dr. K came out right away to greet me and my child who was a little shy at first but opened up to her rather quickly. She answered all my questions, and made my child feel important, and not like a number. She even called me on her own time to check up on my child. (Something I was not used to.) The staff there is amazing as well, extremely friendly and made my child feel comfortable as much as Dr. K. I would highly recommend Rise & Shine pediatrics to not only parents of special needs children but any parent as well.

I have five children. So far I have brought 3 of them and my experience has been wonderful. From making my appointments to the front desk to seeing the doctor it's been very smooth. Dr. K was very patient in answering all my questions. She seems very knowledgeable which as a parent has put any worries as easy. The staff is very friendly too!
