Sumeet Kumar, DO is Board Certified in Neurology, Sleep Medicine and Epilepsy by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He is a Neurohospitalist with Methodist Physicians | Neurology Specialists at Methodist Hospital | Stone Oak in San Antonio. Like many physicians, the combination of science and the ability to help people led Dr. Kumar to consider a career in medicine. It may have been his time working as an ambulance EMT in college, however, that sealed his fate. I liked seeing the way physicians and other health professionals worked together to help their patients improve. That comradery is something rather unique to the practice of healthcare," says Dr. Kumar. Dr. Kumar holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in biology from Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, where he graduated cum laude with departmental honors. He graduated from Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Athens, Ohio, completed his neurology residency at Temple University Hospital/Temple University School of Medicine's Department of Neurology in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and served as chief resident.
