He utilizes medications, psychotherapy, genetic testing, medical workups, neurological exams, nutritional analysis, and lifestyle modifications to help patients achieve their stated goals.
Dr. Kumar is a medical doctor who specializes in psychiatry. He is board certified by the American Academy of Psychiatry and Neurology, and has an undergraduate degree in Human Physiology. He has a passion for helping people reach their potential.

He’s worked deeply with perpetrators- and victims- of physical and sexual abuse.
Along with guest teaching undergraduates and residents at multiple universities, he has been a guest speaker at the University of Michigan Forensic Center, Henry Ford Hospital System, as well as to physicians in the Department of Corrections.
