# Clinic Visit Review I was pleased with my first visit to the clinic. After completing my paperwork, I was taken to my patient room, where the doctor was already waiting. He greeted me, asked a few questions, and introduced me to a student doctor who gathered my information while reviewing my paperwork and asking questions. The student was able to step out briefly to convey all my information to the doctor, who quickly returned. The doctor had additional questions, performed a few tests, and provided a prompt diagnosis along with a treatment and investigation plan. The doctor personally walked me to the checkout area, where a friendly staff member processed my departure and scheduled my tests on the spot. Within 40 minutes, I had both an EEG and an MRI scheduled. It will High praise for this clinic's efficiency, professionalism, and patient care!
Dr. Kar is very knowledgeable, caring, and personable. His is a very high paced office so you understandably don’t get to spend much time with him. I have a hearing loss and struggled with his accent. He talks very fast. I feel very confident that I am getting the best of care by him! Went for follow-up visit on 2/28/25 and again was so impressed with Dr. Kar. He is extremely caring and thorough! He really wants to get to the bottom of things which I greatly appreciate. I am so happy that my doctor referred me to him!
We are always impressed with our visits to your office. We rarely have to wait past our scheduled appt. time in the lobby. The personnel is very pleasant, kind, and helpful. Dr. Kar is amazing; he is intellectual and has a great bedside manner. We are very thankful to be referred to him; and trust him completely with Robert's diagnosis and treatment. Thank you so much.
