Très minutieux et professionnel
I had an excellent experience at Dr. Jitesh K. Kar’s office. From start to finish, the care I received was professional, thorough, and compassionate. Dr. Kar took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and make sure I felt comfortable with my treatment plan. The staff was friendly and efficient, making the entire visit smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate the quality of care and would highly recommend this office to anyone seeking outstanding medical treatment. The only drawback would be that it's all done so quickly.
Le Dr Kar et son équipe sont très gentils et compétents. J'ai l'impression d'être entre de bonnes mains. Je n’ai jamais eu de problème à me faire expliquer ce que je ne comprends pas. Ils prennent leur temps et ne me pressent jamais. Je sens que mes soins comptent.
