Dr.Kumaran is professional,and takes the time to show he really cares. I wasn't anxious,and never had a doubt about his ability. His office staff,and nutritionist were organized and efficient,and friendly! I would HIGHLY recommend Dr.Chinnappan and the Arch Bariatrics Team!!

I lost 120 pounds in about 16 months. I had vertical gastric sleeve surgery the day before Thanksgiving 2018. I followed the doctor's and nutritionist's instructions to the letter. I worked very hard to make sure this wasn't all for nothing. I am very happy with my decision and would 100% do it again. I refer anyone that asks.

I am one year post sleeve and could not be happier. Dr Kumaran is realistic, compassionate, and did a great job. My surgery was a breeze and Mercy Jefferson was very nice. I have not had one problem with the entire experience start to finish. I am healthier than I’ve ever been as an adult, exercise regularly, and feel good in my clothes now. Best decision ever!

Awesome staff and even better surgeon. Caring and compassionate, works for their patients and helps in anyway they can through the process. I’d give more stars if I could. I’m so grateful I found him and couldn’t have asked for a better group to help me on my journey. I refer friends and family to him because he’s that good. Give the office a call, you won’t be disappointed.

I couldn't ask for a better experience or better patient advocates than in Dr. Kumaran or the staff! I feel better than I have in YEARS thanks to having this surgery.
