"This was my first appointment with Dr. Emmons. She was very patient and an extremely good listener. I have extensive records at Weill Cornell and HSS and Dr. Emmons took time to review all my issues. I left feeling she had a great understanding of me and my medical records especially since my appointment was a video conference. I would highly recommend her to my friends."
"He seemed very nice and patient. He listens well and answers questions."
"Very happy w Dr Kumar-personable, thorough, she has a wonderful manner and I’ve enjoyed having her as my physician for a few years now"
