Extreemly competent & caring.
I thought Dr Kar was very thorough and had an excellent bedside manner. It is good to talk to a doctor rather than a nurse practitioner.
Everyone at Dr Kar's office is so polite, knowledgeable, and helpful it's always been a pleasure every time I have had an appointment.
I have found Dr. Kar and all his associates to be very professional and attentive each time I have visited and described my symptoms. Their recommendations and treatments have always been very helpful in dealing with the difficulties of my neuropathy
Dr Karr is a good doctor! I learn more about my condition every time I see him
Professional, knowledgeable, informative
Dr. Kar is my fourth Neurologists since 2012, but is the first to just not say you have Parkinson's, his approach was to find out by testing if this was right, others Neurologists would look at me walk across the room and say it's Parkinson's. The testing showed it wasn't Parkinson's. Therefore I hope Dr. Kar and myself can start building a trusting relationship. He has a great bedside manner.
Dr. Kar, is a very, kind and knowledgeable Neurologist. He takes time to answer your questions and goes over tests explaining exactly what it means and the purpose of them. And ALL of his office members, work together to keep your visit moving in a very timely manner. It is actually a joy to go to his office and feel very welcomed, by everyone there! Thank you, Dr. Kar and ALL your team members!
