    This place is an absolute racket. At my annual physical in December of 2018, which is covered 100%…read moreby insurance, Dr. Kumar asked me how I was doing. When I told him I was doing generally pretty well, but I'd had a sore shoulder for a couple months, he checked it out. So far, so good. Fast forward a couple months later. I receive an invoice of $86 for an additional "office visit" to diagnose the sore shoulder. Since this is classified as a separate visit, my insurance won't fully cover it and I'm on the hook for $86. Now mind you, there was no actual additional office visit -- this conversation and subsequent shoulder diagnosis took place during my physical! Am I not supposed to tell my physician about joint pain when asked how I'm doing during my yearly physical? What a ripoff artist!! After several months of trying to get this absurd charge rescinded via both my insurance company and directly through his office (where the Billing Manager is always conveniently either on vacation or on administrative leave, making her impossible to get in contact with), I decided to pay it and not deal with a possible late payment red flag on my credit report. I had always heard that his practice's true area of expertise is making money, and now I know firsthand. I'm never going back there again and I highly advise others to learn from my mistake.

    Dr.Babu Kumar has been my PCP for approx 16 yrs. I was surprised to see the comments about how Dr…read more Kumar was only about the money. Its an absolute lie! My aunt is also a long time patient of his and when she had a massive stroke that left her unable to work and unable to afford healthcare. Dr. Kumar saw my aunt for FREE for a year and also helped her with expensive medications until my aunt was able to receive medical insurance. I am in the medical field and have referred many colleagues of mine and also patients. Hands down Dr. Kumar is one of the best doctors I've ever had.

    We have been seeing Dr Robert Jones for the past several years. He is well educated, compassionate…read moreand kind. He is an excellent primary care physician. I love the way he listens and addresses our questions. His bio says: Robert Jones, MD, a board-certified Family Medicine physician, offers comprehensive care, that also addresses the psychosocial needs of his patients, paired with kindness and compassion. Dr. Jones, a former high school science teacher, educates his patients on the nature of their illness, treatment options and specialist care backed by clinical studies and research. He includes patients as part of a shared decision-making process.Dr. Jones received his medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine in Barbados and completed his residency at his undergraduate alma mater, Stony Brook University, in Stony Brook, New York

    I can't speak to the entire group because there are some great doctors there. However, this review…read moreis about ONE particular provider in the group, Vikram Rao, whom I had entrusted with my medical care since February 2020. Last week I discovered how unethical he is and I would not allow him to treat my dog! Do not become a patient of Vikram Rao. If you value your health and wellbeing, I suggest that you not become a patient of this doctor at Northeast Medical Group, 4A Devine St in North Haven Ct. I trusted him as my primary physician for almost 4 years now, only to recently discover that he does not document all of the medical visits or treatments that he provides. Last week I needed documented medical information from my records to take to a specialist, only to find out that he had not documented anything about my condition yet had been prescribing medication to me for this condition for well over a year. I am devastated, not knowing what to do about the information I need for the specialist. I now have to find a new PCP for treatment of this condition and begin this horrendous process all over again. What Vikram Rao did (I refuse to refer to him as a doctor) is unconscionable and he needs to be held accountable for his actions. I was advised to report this to the Department of Public Health Provider Licensing Investigation Unit and I fully intend to do so. Since he works for Northeast Medical Group, which is a part of Yale New Haven Health, I was also advised to make his superiors aware of this matter. He took an oath to "do no harm", yet that is exactly what he has done to me. There are reviews from other patients about his care on the Healthgrade website, I wish I had seen them sooner. I would never have entrusted my care to this person. The moral of my story is to check, verify, and recheck again. Ask for recommendations from people you trust and by all means verify that treatments being performed and prescribed medications to you from any doctor are documented in your medical records because trying to get a provider to own up to what they did not document can take months, during which time you do not have the information to take to another doctor for treatment. Be extremely cautious and watchful of your medical records. If something is missing or incorrect, it could be the difference between life and death, yours.
