Podiatrist
Dr. Kumar was born in South India but grew up in Philadelphia, PA. At a very young age, diabetes had a significant impact on her family’s life and opened the doors to podiatry. Her undergraduate studies were split between Villanova University and Alderson Broaddus College in West Virginia. Her desire to pursue her love for surgery and medicine led her to Cleveland, OH, where she completed 4 years at the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine.
Dr. Kumar graduated from the 3 year Atlanta Veterans Affairs Residency program with a PMSR Reconstructive Rearfoot and Ankle certificate and then moved to join a private practice in Nashville, TN. During her residency, Dr. Kumar was given the opportunity to lecture at national and regional podiatry conferences as well publish podiatric literature. She has been in the same private practice for 10 years and also works at Tristar Summit Advanced Center for Wound Care where she supervises Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. She sits on the Board of Directors of the Tennessee Podiatric Medical Association and on the Infectious Disease Prevention Protocol team at her hospital. She is wound care board certified with the American Board of Wound Management and a diplomate with ABPM and fellow of ACFAS.
Dr. Kumar credits her husband Jonathan, her family, and most importantly, God’s guidance for helping her achieve her goals. Her greatest achievements to date have to be the births of her four sons, James, Judah, Jaren and Jace.
