Dr. Pugar provided an initial intake for me today. He took a very thorough medical history and provided information on further assessments and recommended tests.
Dr. Pugar was kind and respectful.
Dr. Pugar was very helpful with his questions and description of possible treatment options to address the issues I have been dealing with.
He was concerned about what was going on. He ordered a test to figure it out, since I have several things going on.
Very knowledgeable. He listened closely to my concerns I was very nervous about the appointment but all the staff was very kind and friendly. I felt I was listened to and I had a very positive experience. Highly recommended.
Dr PUGAR is knowledgeable and able to address all of my questions thoroughly. He is pleasant to work with. All ancillary staff are efficient and work together as a team. I highly recommend this practice!
Explain all so I would understand Did not talk over head
Very patient he provided answers to all of my questions. He seemed very engaged in trying to find a solution or at least a better understanding of my issue.
He is very caring and explained things well. I am the daughter of the patent and he even addressed the importance of me taking care of me so I can take care of Mom. That meant a lot. With the diagnosis, there really isn't anything they can do but the fact he told us about a medication that can help slow down the progression was surprising and welcomed
Dr. Pugar is very pleasant and made a great impression during my first visit. After moving away and then returning, I chose to re-establish care with him because of that experience. He takes the time to thoroughly look into everything and makes you feel heard. The front desk and staff are also friendly, professional, and helpful. They make check-in smooth and create a welcoming environment from the moment you walk in.
Mom and I appreciated her first appointment with Dr. Pugar. Within minutes he had earned her trust enough to convince her to go through an evaluation she’s previously intended to refuse. He took notes as he asked questions and the summary matched what he shared in the visit, inserting caveats as indicated. It helped the overwhelming situation we found ourselves in.
He explained what could be going on with me .He is one of the best doctors I've had He let's you know what you're going to have to do to make your problem easier to deal with
I was a bit unsure of what to expect on the first appt. with Dr. Pugar. However, it was a good first visit… . He has a good way to ask questions, in casual, yet through .his conversation & questions were on my level & caring .he was sensitive, but on point (having to repeat the question) .I would say, we had a very good first visit & we both gained knowledge & insights. .He gave me hope that I haven’t totally gone off the grid
Thorough, friendly, and quick to follow up with test results.
Dr. Pugar and Amanda took their time with me and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend
Dr. K. Pugar is an outstanding Neurologist that I’ve seen for several different health issues. He always explained everything thoroughly. Has a great personality and makes you feel confident that he’s the right Dr. for you.
New patient too soon to tell
