First of all, Dr Pugar always welcomes you with a smile. He listens to what you say and helps anyway he can. Although I respect all my doctors, I feel like Dr.Pugar goes above and beyond the others to investigate and determine what is going on.

Takes his time with you
This was my first appointment with Dr Pugar. He clearly had reviewed my file from my previous visits with another provider in the practice. After an examination and exchange of questions, he suggested a plan going forward which was agreeable to me. Dr was not rushed and we agreed to a 3-month follow up. Office staff was efficient and friendly.
While I appreciate Dr. Pugar was willing to listen, I was definitely not heard and was essentially scuttled off to “find a second opinion” after months of waiting to be seen while my symptoms have continued to worsen in the meantime. There was no discussion of possible treatment and even a supposition that my burning pain in my extremities and face are simply “anxiety.”
very good to work with
As always very appreciative of care and Botox injections
They do great job
He is very thorough
