    I needed a new primary care physician. Based on many positive reviews, Dr. Kumar seemed like a good…read morechoice. I called Family and Internal Medicine to set up an appointment. The receptionist said I could come in right away since they accepted walk-in patients on an ongoing basis. The waiting room was busy and noisy. I was taken aback by a rude sign next to the reception desk admonishing patients to keep track of their children. The receptionist was courteous. I couldn't believe how quickly they were turning around patients since the reviews I'd read of Dr. Kumar mentioned his thoroughness. I waited about 20 minutes to be seen, which I thought was reasonable. A nurse sped through my initial assessment without a single pleasantry. When the doctor walked in, I was very surprised because it wasn't Dr. Kumar. She introduced herself as Suni Jacob. I assumed she was an M.D. but now see she is an APRN. No one felt compelled to tell me that a nurse and not a doctor would be examining me. Had I known, I would have made an appointment elsewhere or with Dr. Kumar for a later date. Suni's eyes glazed over as I explained my symptoms. She dismissed my concerns, answered my questions tersely, and showed no trace of bedside manner. It was clear she wanted to get me out of there as soon as possible. If my experience is any indication, this practice gets away with providing substandard care because their patients have limited options. I have never received such poor medical service.

    I have been a patient of Dr. Kumar for about 5 years now. In this time, I have only seen him once…read more Very polite, great bedside manner. My last 3 visits, I was seen by APRN , Sunni Jacob. All 3 visits she referred me to the hospital ED with urgency. Her suspicions were correct and I required immediate care. I found her to be polite and listened to my symptoms . My huge complaint is the wait time, regardless if you are an established patient with an appointment. Their walk in vs. scheduled appointment system needs great improvement. It appears that having an appointment has no benefit. Had an 11:00 appointment and waited until 11:55 while walk ins prior to my 11 appointment were called. Very frustrating. However, their office hours are accommodating to the working patient.

    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.
