I think Dr. Kumar is awesome! However, I do not approve of the behind the scenes ownership of the facility by St Vincent's Hospital's corporation allowing them to bill my blocks as out patient surgery when in fact it is not. Nor is this an out patient surgery center; but, somehow the hospital billing office coded it so each block I receive I am charged a $125 output surgery co-pay!!
