Doctor was very thorough and knowledgeable. Addressed all my questions and issues. Ordered additional testing to help confirm diagnosis.
Dr K. Douglas Pugar showed his concern for my mental health and took his time to explain so many things about my situation. I appreciate his help with my mental health.
A most thoughtful and thorough admission interview. Mapped out a complete plan for the present and the future. Dr. Pugar is the Compleat Healer and Caretaker! I am most grateful to him for my care and feeding. Emilio Tavernise colonel USAF (Ret.)

Everyone very friendly. No wait. Both people that performed my test were very kind, considerate and thorough. Everything was explained as it happened.
Always great with his service! Great doctor! I have been getting my botox treatment from him for over a year now and he does it like a butter! He can go above and beyond for his patients!

Dr Johnson is an excellent listener and diagnostician. I am so blessed to have her!
Very nice and confident in her assessment. Even though she disagrees with Dr. Gleason, she didn’t hesitate to express it. Will follow with the night splits and go from there.
Dr Pugar is excellent. I had two injections to help manage my migraines. He explained the procedure, the medications used and side effects, possible side effects and what to do should they occur. My visit was timely and would refer to Dr Pugar without reservation.
Dr Melissa Johnson, DO was very understanding. She took time to discuss my problems and she came up with a way to help me solve them. I would recommend her to my friends and my Family.
Very friendly, was pleased with everyone
Very helpful
Very respectful

He was excellent! Very knowledgeable.
Explained everything that was going to happen and asked if everything was good after the shots
Very efficient, caring and takes time to answer any questions that you might have. A good experience.
Good repore with me. Asked specific questions on how past doctors have performed the procedure. Listened and discussed questions. Usually very on time practice and typically do not have to wait. Did have to wait this time. They squeezed in a patient before me. I appreciate they do this, but put me very behind. The doctor explained when he came into the room. It would have been nice to know beforehand. My appointment is 5-8 minutes, 2 quick shots.
Knowledgeable, caring, nice, explained everything, good neurologist
He took a lot of time in explaining what could be wrong with me. The resident spent over an hour with me doing test. Great job!
Listens to your concerns and gives the feedback in detail! Great doctor!!
